Donington Park: Morgan takes delight from last-gasp podium run

Adam Morgan said his last-gasp manoeu♈vre to seize the final step on podium during the third 😼Donington Park British Touring Car Championship was something 'that couldn't be planned'.
The Ciceley Motorsport driver took advantage of Dave Newsham and Ashley Sutton's arduous battle for third position by undercutting the pair on the exit of Coppice during the final lap o𓂃f the race.
Morgan's M💝ercedes A-Class machine got a far superior exit from a wet Coppice corn꧟er which gave the Mac Tools backed driver the high ground heading into the final chicane.
"We already had eighth and el🐻eventh. It was an OK weekend so far as we wanted top-ten finishes. To get back on the podium withꦰ P3 and another Independents' win is fantastic," said Morgan.
"It was just one of those moments where it sort of appeared in front of you. You can't plan these things. You've got to🤪 jump at every opportunity you get. I saw the gap a☂nd put my nose down there, with a bit of a squeeze on the grass.
"I was thinking it was going to be a drag race to the chicane but luckily the car was handling pretty well and I was able jump on the brakes pretty hard and get it stopped and turned i💯n."
Morgan was later promoted up to second following Gordon Shedden's post-race exclusion and has moved to third iꦚn the BTCC drivers' standings as a result.
Speaking before learning of Shedden's exclusion, Morgan said: "Obviously that will be really nice for us to move up another position, more points in the bag. It would be a shame for Gordon [Shedden] but every opportunity counts. If we take more points, we take mor𒉰e points."
