Thank you to everyone who’s followed along and posted on these threads through this year! They seem to be getting steadily more popular which is great.

Qualifying streamed on Saturday from 13.50 on the ITV Sport Extra YouTube channel (haven’t seen anything to say the Saturday support races will be broadcast this year yet). Race day broadcasted from 10.30 on ITV.

A 23 car grid, with Ricky Collard (Vertu Hyundai) replacing his replacement Osamu Kawashima. Ash Sutton and Dan Cammish (NAPA Fords) are both using special liveries, and so too Daryl De Leon (WSR). Tom Chilton has confirmed his BTCC retirement so this will be his last BTCC meeting, as has Sam Osborne. Long-time member of the ITV broadcast team Louise Goodman will also be departing.

Ash Sutton clinched his 5th championship last time out, as did Alliance/NAPA Racing in both the Teams and Manufacturers standings, whilst Dexter Patterson wrapped up the Jack Sears Trophy. The independent drivers and teams championships are still to play for - see the graphic in the comments for all the championships still to be won - whilst Tom Ingram and Dan Cammish fight for 2nd overall.

Support races: Porsche Carrera Cup, Porsche Sprint Challenge, F4, MINI JCWs and Caterhams Sevens. Of those, Porsche Sprint, MINI and Caterhams are in the closest contention.

TLDR: Ash Sutton has already clinched the title, so this weekend will focus on the battle for 2nd (Tom Ingram VS Dan Cammish) and the independents championships.

Qualifying streamed on Saturday from 14.00 on the ITV Sport Extra YouTube channel. Race day broadcasted from 10.30 on ITV (not sure why I can’t add the nice captions to the image today, hence the scrawl…)

A 23 car grid, with Osamu Kawashima replacing Ricky Collard (who sits 4th in the overall standings) at Team Vertu. Charles Rainford’s WSR BMW will be running a special livery.

Ash Sutton (NAPA Ford) looks set to wrap up the driver’s title already this weekend, a record-breaking 5th, sitting 115 points ahead of 2nd-placed Dan Cammish (NAPA Ford). He’d need to gain 5 points over Cammish to win it in race 1 (I think!) otherwise he’s on course to have an insurmountable lead by race 2. Tom Ingram (Vertu Hyundai) sits in 3rd, only 9 points behind Cammish.

Sub-championships: Alliance/NAPA are also well placed to win both the Manufacturers and Teams championships this weekend, and Dexter Patterson (PMR Audi) looks to take the Jack Sears Trophy uncontested. Teammate Mikey Doble sits atop the independent driver’s standings and his team LKQ PMR heads the independents teams by a clear margin, although both of those are likely to be decided at Brands Hatch.

Support races: Porsche Carrera Cup, Porsche Sprint Challenge, F4, and MINI Challenge

TLDR: Ricky Collard has been replaced by a 57-year-old Japanese rookie. Ash Sutton will most likely be crowned champion a round early. None of the other sub-championships are particularly close, and most will probably be wrapped up this weekend too.

“No”

We stay at a 23 car grid. Plato Racing has seen Jason Plato ousted, and will run as CPRL with the same 2 drivers. Dan Lloyd replaces James Dorlin at Restart Racing for the rest of the season. Cammish and Osborne will run their traditional Valvoline special livery.

Ash Sutton (NAPA Ford) continues to stretch the gap to Tom Ingram (Vertu Hyundai) with an unprecedented 81 point lead - already enough to win the championship a meeting early! Dan Cammish (NAPA Ford) is closing in on Ingram for 3rd whilst Ricky Collard (Vertu Hyundai) holds 4th, though will not run the final 2 weekends of the year.

Support races: Porsche Carrera Cup, F4, MINI Challenge and Caterham 7s

The biggest grid all year with 23 cars, seeing Nick Halstead rejoining PMR in a fourth Audi. Sam Osborne returns to grid in place of the deputising Senna Proctor, with Alliance Racing running their traditional tartan livery in aid of Race Against Dementia. Charles Rainford also debuts a special livery as a one-off.

Ash Sutton (NAPA Ford) maintains a huge gap atop the standings, 59 points ahead of Tom Ingram (Vertu Hyundai), having won 6 races to the next highest tally of 2 wins. Dan Cammish (NAPA Ford) and Josh Cook (Speedworks Toyota) follow in 3rd and 4th, the top 4 separated by sizeable margins.

Last year at Knockhill, Charles Rainford (WSR BMW) was on pole with Jake Hill (WSR BMW) twice victorious and Ingram (Vertu Hyundai) also winning.

Returning after the summer break, we have 2 driver changes. Lewis Gilbert joins WSR in a third BMW, and Ryan Bensley replaces Max Buxton at Speedworks Corolla Racing. Sam Osborne has been ruled out on medical grounds and will be replaced by NAPA's reserve driver Senna Proctor for a 22-car grid. Nick Halstead is confirmed in a fourth PMR Audi next time out at Knockhill.

Ash Sutton stays atop the standings, 48 points ahead of Tom Ingram. Dan Cammish and Charles Rainford trail in 3rd and 4th. Last year at Thruxton, Sutton was on pole with Ingram, Sutton and Rowbottom race winners.
