Silverline Subaru BMR Racing's Colin Turkington will start the final British Touring Car Championship race day of 2016 on pole position after beating Tom Ingram by 0.006s in a quite remarkable qualifying at Brandཧs Hatch.

The 30-minute shootout had got und💮erway in relatively dry conditions but Aron Smith's💎 dramatic roll around the Grand Prix loop turned the session on its head following a lengthy red flag delay.

Duri꧙ng that delay, the weather turned and the rain began to fall, meaning those who set had already set a dry time within the opening minutes looked to be sitting pretty atඣ the top.

Speedworks Motorsport's Ingram and Subaru's Jason Plato looked to be the main beneficiaries of the inclement conditions while championship leader Sam Tordoff faced the prospect ღof qualifying down in 15th.

However, the conditions once a🌠gain took a dramatic turn, which paved the way for Subaru's Turkington to string together a mesmerising sequence of laps.

With the track gripping up lap-💙by-lap, Turkington eventually post a best effort of a 1 minute 31.838 second lap, just 0.006s ahe▨ad of Ingram.

Rob Austin and Plato also threatened but t꧂he pair had to settle for the se🥀cond row in third and fourth.

Hunter Abbott co﷽mpletely an unlikely top-five order ahead of Josh Cook and Jack Goff while it's advantage Gordon Shedden in the title after the reigning champion qualified in eighth, three places ahead of To♑rdoff in eleventh.
