Eurotech Racing’s Martin Depper took the honours in the second Dunlop #ForeverForward contest of the season, gaining with a total of 20 points over the course of the three Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship races at Donington Park.

This total shades the number scored by Rob Austin at the Brands Hatch opener but by just one point to make it the highest tally so far this season, though with the Handy Motorsport ace’s total of 10 at Donington Park, he retains the overall lead in the standings.

Race two was the one that made the difference for Depper, as the West Midlander carved his way through the field. Starting 31st, at the back of the grid, he made up a total of 14 places to finish 17th, narrowly outside the points-scoring positions.

Power Maxed Racing’s Kelvin Fletcher also impressed, notching second in the #ForeverForward standings for the weekend. The Lancashire racer, completing just his second weekend in the BTCC, managed to gain an impressive total of 16 places over the three rounds.

That total of 16 positions gained was matched though by two others: Aiden Moffat, who raced to an Independents’ win with 7th in race three and Michael Epps who jumped 11 places, also in race three, to notch a 13th placed, points-scoring finish for RCIB Insurance Racing.

The #ForeverForward leaderboard is below, with one point attributed for every position gained. Points are not removed if places are lost.
