Honda's Dan Cammish admit🃏ted to feeling 'quite emotional' after boosting his British Touring Ca✤r Championship title hopes following his stunning race one win at Brands Hatch.

The Team Dynamics driver took advantage of the changeable conditions during a thrilling opening race to storm through the pack from 12th on the grid and close to within 8-points of championship leader Colin Turkinꦉgton, who finished in fifth.

"I woke up this morning t🔜hinking ‘give it your all but try and consolidate a top three in this championship’," Cammish told ltxcn.top.

"We know Cook is good in those conditions as well. I thought ‘you want to be on the podium in the end, that’s a good improvement from last𝔉 year’.

"I never thought we’d have 𒈔been in this positi🌱on mid-season, but here we are. What cost me two weeks ago when it rained too hard, this time it didn’t rain hard enough to make them pit for wets.

"Once they didn’t, I knew if I stayed out, I was ౠbeating them. I was a bit worried that 10 or so pitted for wets and how far they could get up.

"I gave it everyt🍌hing. I made some good moves and risked it all when it really mattered. Thankfully the team gave me a grඣeat car and what a mega result!"

Cammish came alive in the greasy conditions and moved ahead of title rival Turkington ꦏon lap 12 before eventually passing Rory Butcher for the lead of the race just four laps later.

"I was never happy in sixth or seventh. I knew I had to♑ dispatch the BMWs. At that point when I was b🐻ehind Hill I had two choices," the Honda driver continued.

"You either take it, and don’t risk anything. But there’s a nice gap to the leader if you win a race. There’s 3-points to 2nd. I thought ‘I need them more than 𒉰anyone right now. Let’s give this a proper go and let’s risk a biඣt’.

"That’s what I had♚ to do and this morning race one was my race."

Cammish was also able to take further points out of Turkington's championship thanks to 🤪an inspired tyre strategy from Honda team mate Matt Neal, who scythed his way ahead of the Team BMW driver to give Team Dynamics a famous 1-2 finish.

"I was quite emotional at the end. To win from 12th is one thing, but to doဣ it in the wet on slicks when you’re scram𒁃bling around. Also the effort I put in. I couldn’t see another slick car in my mirror," said Cammish.

"I’m very proud of that. What will be, w🥂ill bꦆe in the championship. I didn’t expect to get a lifeline. We know how fast the BMW is in the wet."
