Team VERTU brought the curtain down on the 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship season in fine style at Brands Hatch, with a race win and three further podiums resulting in two championship titles.

On a tense final weekend of action, Tom Ingram successfully wrapped up a second Drivers’ Championship whilst the EXCELR8/Hyundai outfit also overcame season-long rivals Alliance Racing/Ford to take the Manufacturers’/Constructors’ title for the first time.

Ingram had taken a lead of 33 points into the final round and would be nominated to also score for the Manufacturers’ and Teams’ titles alongside Senna Proctor, with Tom Chilton and Adam Morgan resuming their inter-team battle to make it into the end-of-season top six.

Tyre strategies were split for race day, with Chilton and Morgan going for the soft tyre and Ingram and Proctor both sticking with the medium ahead of race one.

Taking full advantage of the quicker tyre, Chilton and Morgan battled their way through to the podium spots to take second and third as their own private battle continued, whilst behind, Ingram was able to stay out of trouble and take the flag in fifth to extend his points lead.

Running in the midfield pack, Proctor would take the flag back in 13th but scored valuable Manufacturers’ points going into the second race of the day. This time, Ingram and Proctor bolted on the soft tyre and Ingram used it to full effect as he took an unassailable lead in the Drivers' Standings.

Picking off the cars in front in the early laps, Ingram took the lead by lap three and was able to control the race from the front despite two safety car periods to secure the points he needed to become a two-time champion.

Chilton had run second in the early stages before an alternator failure put him into retirement, but Proctor provided plenty of reason to cheer as he stormed through the field to take third spot - ensuring that the battle for the Manufacturers’ and Teams’ titles would go to the wire.

Morgan meanwhile was left in a frustrated tenth after lap one contact at Druids cost him places, although Chilton’s issues saw him move up into sixth in the points.

With the Drivers’ title secured, the focus turned to the remaining two titles for the season finale, with all four drivers now on the medium rubber. Although Chilton would unfortunately retire after further alternator woes, Ingram and Proctor took sixth and eighth, with Morgan ending the race between the pair in seventh.

Whilst second place for Ash Sutton meant NAPA Racing UK were able to cling on to the Teams’ title, a retirement for Dan Cammish enabled Team VERTU to grab the Manufacturers’/Constructors’ title by just three points.

That capped the most successful season yet for the team in Britain’s premier racing series, with all four drivers inside the top ten in the overall championship standings and Ingram setting a new record for most points scored in a season.

Tom Chilton, #3 Team VERTU Hyundai i30N Fastback, said:
“On a personal level, the final round has been a bit frustrating as no-one wants to end the year with two DNFs but it’s difficult to be disappointed at the end of such a fantastic season for the team. Tom has done a mega job to win his second title and for us to win the Manufacturers’/Constructors’ title is an amazing achievement.

“Things looked positive for me to get that top six finish after a really strong race one and it was great to be up there on the podium with Adam, and it all looked perfect in race two when I was sat behind Tom before the alternator failed - and then the replacement failed in race three.

“That’s just rotten luck but this has been my best season by far for a number of seasons with two wins, two seconds and two thirds. Every season since I joined the team, we’ve just kept getting better and who knows, maybe next year it could be me on top at the finish.”

Senna Proctor, #18 Team VERTU Hyundai i30N Fastback, said:
“When I messed up in qualifying, I wondered if the team had made the wrong decision to nominate me for Manufacturer points, but I’m so proud to have battled back and played my part in helping the team to lift the title.

“Race day was fantastic, particularly the second race when we bolted on the soft tyre and came through to the podium. To then come back in at the end of race three and realise we’d taken the title was fantastic, and is great for the whole team.

“On a personal level, to equal my best ever championship finish in tenth having missed the first three rounds of the season is brilliant, and it could have been ever better without some bad luck in recent events. It’s all credit to the team for the effort they have put in, and hopefully we can go again for a full season in 2026.”

Adam Morgan, #3 Team VERTU Hyundai i30N Fastback, said:
“On a personal level, I’d have loved to get a win this weekend but this has still been my best ever season in terms of my championship finish so I’m delighted. We’ve been strong at every circuit this year and have picked up multiple podiums, and I feel like it’s reignited the flame within me.

A huge thanks has to go to everyone at EXCELR8 and at Vertu, and also my personal sponsors like Ciceley Commercials for making it all possible. Credit also has to go to the crew on my car because it’s just been an absolutely mega year. 

“It’s a shame we couldn’t secure all three titles but we gave it a bloody good go and I think we can all be really proud. Tingram has done an amazing job to take the Drivers’ title and we’ve all played our part in the success we’ve had as a team.”

Tom Ingram, #80 Team VERTU Hyundai i30N Fastback, said:
“People seemed to think this was an easy weekend for us with the gap we had in the standings going in, but that couldn’t have been further from the truth. It’s actually been one of the most stressful weekends I’d say I’ve ever had, as I’ve not been the person leading into the final before and there was the pressure to not mess it up.

“If I’d locked up and stuck it in the gravel at Paddock Hill Bend in qualifying or race one, that could have changed everything so I had to be on my game, and to wrap it all up with a race win just makes it even more special.

“There is a feeling of relief, a feeling of satisfaction, a feeling of gratification - so many different feelings. I’ve never experienced the passion, enthusiasm and the want to win that I’ve seen in the whole team this year, and it all goes back to the fact we were out testing two weeks after the end of the 2024 season because we weren’t quite good enough.

“In a funny way, I’m almost sad that the season is over because it feels like this could be a once in a lifetime moment where everything has just come together and the stars have aligned - although I hope we can have a similar season next year! The car has been an absolute weapon, the team has been outrageous and it’s a special moment to share this with some amazing friends, and with some amazing fans. I can't thank everyone involved enough.”

Justina Williams, Team VERTU Team Owner, said:
“It’s honestly difficult to know what to say at the end of a season like this. It’s been absolutely fantastic and to come away from it with two championship titles is amazing, and it’s down to the hard work of every single person who has been involved this year.

“The drivers have done a brilliant job on track but they wouldn’t have been able to score the wins and podium finishes that have carried us to the titles without all of the effort that goes on behind the scenes to make this possible.

“This truly is a team effort and I’m amazingly proud of every single man and woman that has played their part in 2025. We are also extremely grateful for the support of Vertu and all of our Team Partners, as this success wouldn't be possible without them."

Mikey Doble closed out his 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship season at Brands Hatch this past weekend (4/5 October) with a valiant performance that saw him clinch runner-up laurels in the Independent Drivers’ Championship.

On a thrilling final day of the season around the famous Kent circuit, the Motor Parts Direct with Power Maxed Racing driver took the title fight down to the wire; however, he ultimately fell short of preventing Restart Racing’s Daniel Lloyd from lifting the crown.

Despite missing out on the title, the 26-year-old had plenty to be proud of having endured a rollercoaster campaign that included taking his maiden BTCC win at Snetterton and having to adapt to a completely different car following the devastating fire at the team headquarters.

In the end, the Surrey-based racer threw everything he had at the final day of the season but ultimately missed out on lifting his second title in as many years by just four points.

Doble’s title-deciding weekend began on Saturday as he dialled in his front-wheel-drive machine to find the ragged edge as he valiantly battled to try and progress into Part 2 of qualifying.

Last year’s Jack Sears Trophy title winner would struggle to find room on his final flying lap, which resulted in him pushing into the last corner to make up for lost time and dropping a wheel onto the grass. Despite finishing up in 17th, he pivotally qualified around his title rivals.

The final day of the season would see race one set the scene for Doble as he got his elbows out and became embroiled in a number of wheel-to-wheel scraps within the points-paying positions, clinching third place in the Independents’ category as well.

Knowing that he needed to make serious in-roads into his title rivals if he was to have any shot at walking away as champion, Doble delivered yet another feisty performance in race two and crucially out-scoring Lloyd to set up a winner-takes-all final contest.

With just a handful of points separating Lloyd, Doble and Chris Smiley in the standings, the Cupra driver pulled out all the stops to try and overturn the points deficit - including backing Lloyd up into other drivers - however his efforts would see him fall just short of the ultimate prize.

Mikey Doble: “It’s obviously not the way any of us wanted to end the season however there is so much to feel proud about. Given what the team has been through this year, to even be in a title fight was a huge achievement - it’s just a bitter pill to take to have missed out at the final hurdle.

“If I’m being honest we didn’t have the outright pace on Sunday and given how close we all were I knew that I needed to make something happen. We had a steady race one and then in race two I was very aggressive to make sure we finished ahead of Lloyd.

“The Cupra had some battle scars from that contest and with one race to go we threw everything behind trying to make something happen. I tried my best to back Lloyd into the pack but we just didn’t have enough cars in play to swing the points my way.

“While I’m a little disappointed at the moment, I’m sure in a day or so those feelings will change and I’ll take stock of the season with fond memories. I can now call myself a BTCC race winner and that alone motivates me to return stronger than ever next year to chase after more trophies.”

WSR’s Daryl DeLeon sealed the Jack Sears Trophy title as the 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship climaxed on an exhilarating day of action at Brands Hatch.
 
With stablemate Charles Rainford (LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR) making it a one-two in the end of season standings and 2024 champion Jake Hill (Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport) bowing out of the series with an overall podium finish, it was a fitting end to the year for the 18-time title winners.
 
DeLeon experienced a true rollercoaster of a weekend, having scored his second pole position in a row on Saturday aboard his BMW 330i M Sport. Cruelly, a freak engine issue forced him to miss the day’s opening race, pulling into the pits from leading the green flag lap, while a new unit was installed by the WSR crew. This meant he would have to start the second bout of the day from the back of the grid.
 
While this was happening, Rainford was taking full advantage of the #2’s misfortune as he bagged maximum Jack Sears Trophy points in fourth place overall and set the race’s fastest lap.
 
This helped him turn an eight-point deficit to DeLeon into a 12-point advantage, but the pendulum swung back towards the Anglo-Filipino in race two as the #99 found himself in the Paddock Hill bend tyre barriers after contact entering the famed first corner.
 
The finale, on Sunday evening, began with Rainford five points behind DeLeon – who recovered to 13th overall in the day's middle race – and needing to beat his team-mate by three places to steal the title for himself.
 
Both battled to the end with the Surrey racer finishing 11th and the Cambridgeshire driver 13th – results that decided the title in DeLeon’s favour by just three points.
 
While this title battle was unfolding, 2024 champion Hill was turning a second-row start into a third-place finish – his seventh of the season – after a determined drive. The Kent ace now leaves the BTCC to move into international racing with 20 WSR victories and 48 rostrum finishes in just four seasons.
 
Just as impressive was a relentless charge from 19th to 10th in race two; his opening race having been ruined by a left-front puncture that necessitated an unplanned pitstop and a 19th-place finish.
 
The Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport driver’s final-race rostrum came after a race-long battle with LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR’s Aiden Moffat, who was drawn on reversed-grid pole position and led initially.
 
The Scottish racer eventually finished fifth – to equal his best result of the season – after superbly climbing from 20th to ninth in the race prior. His opening bout fell short when he was ordered by Race Control to pit to have a resultantly flapping rear bumper removed.
 
The results of the day mean that LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR secured third place in the Teams’ Championship while Hill finished fourth in the Drivers’ standings with Rainford eighth, Moffat 11th and DeLeon 13th.
 
Daryl DeLeon, WSR: “What a day it’s been; 2025 Jack Sears Trophy Champions! What a year and what a day. I had a non-start in Race One because of an engine issue when I was supposed to be starting on pole, but we recovered it in Race Two and then in Race Three we got the job done. Massive thank you to everybody at WSR, my car crew and to everybody that’s supported me. It’s been a mega year. I’ve learnt so much, developed a lot as a driver and finished as a champion. I can relax now.”
 
Jake Hill, Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport: “What a day it’s been; a real mixture of highs and lows. I had a puncture in Race One, a great recovery from 19th to seventh and then in Race Three I started third and finished third. It’s been a mixed day, but I really can’t believe the incredible time I’ve had in the BTCC. I want to thank everybody that’s supported me throughout my career here. It’s been mega.”
 
Charles Rainford, LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR: “What a year it’s been. I’ve ended up eighth in the overall championship, which I’m pretty happy with. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to win the Jack Sears Trophy – a Toyota put paid to that today in Race Two – but I was pretty happy to make it back to 12^th in Race Three. Thank you to everybody that’s supported me this year and to this brilliant team. I’ve loved my first year in touring cars.”
 
Aiden Moffat, LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR: “I started the last race on pole and was hoping to get a podium to finish the season, but the BMW just didn’t react so well to the soft tyres, having been mega on the mediums through the day. I don’t think the safety car helped me much, but it is what it is. To finish fifth after what happened in Race One, and then coming back to ninth in Race Two, is a pretty good day’s work.”
 
Dick Bennetts, Team Principal: “Finishing the season with a one-two-finish in the Jack Sears Trophy is an excellent result for both Daryl and Charles. Both have made such a positive impact on the team this year that it’s a shame they can’t both be the champion. The work of both their car crews was excellent and embodied the sort of team spirit we have at WSR. A podium finish was a fitting end to Jake’s BTCC career and Aiden performed really well after his misfortune in Race One.”

Team VERTU star clinches title at Brands Hatch

Team VERTU’s Tom Ingram secured a hugely deserved second Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship crown, having seen off the challenge from old rival Ash Sutton at Brands Hatch today (5 October).

The title chasing duo enjoyed a season-long scrap for the most coveted prize in British motorsport, with the pace and prowess of Ingram and his Hyundai i30N really coming to the fore during the second half of the campaign.

Ingram arrived at the Kent finale with a 33-point advantage back to Sutton, but with 67 still on offer, it was all still to play for.

The gap was narrowly extended in the opener around the legendary 2.43-mile layout as Ingram claimed fifth with Sutton down in ninth.

Race two became the defining contest with the #80 Hyundai taking a commanding seventh victory of the year as Ingram moved into an unassailable lead in the overall standings, which he duly followed with a sixth-place finish in the finale.

NAPA Racing UK’s Dan Cammish won the first race, helping him on his way to third in the overall standings, whilst TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK with IAA's Josh Cook became the 13^th different winner of the season in the final encounter.

The majority of the title battles went down to the wire as EXCELR8 Motorsport/Hyundai won the Manufacturers'/Constructors' championship, whilst NAPA Racing UK sealed the Teams' title.

Restart Racing triumphed in the Independent Teams' table and Dan Lloyd claimed Independent Drivers' laurels, whilst WSR's Daryl DeLeon secured the Jack Sears Trophy.

The fans poured onto the track under the lights at Brands Hatch for the championship podium, which saw all of this year’s winners being celebrated. 

There was little doubting who received the biggest cheer and that was the new Kwik Fit British Touring Car Champion, Tom Ingram.

The BTCC will be back in 2026 for another 30-round season, comprising ten race weekends across the country. It all gets underway at Donington Park on 18/19 April, but for now we would like to thank our fans, teams, drivers, sponsors, marshals, volunteers and all stakeholders for your magnificent support – see you next year.

Cammish claims victory as Ingram inches closer

NAPA Racing UK’s Cammish stood victorious in Round 28 as championship leader Ingram (Team VERTU) extended the gap ahead of title rival Sutton (NAPA Racing UK).

Cammish's triumph was made all the more routine when pole-sitter Daryl DeLeon peeled off into the pitlane, as his WSR BMR suffered an engine problem on the green flag lap.

NAPA Racing UK's Dan Rowbottom immediately became embroiled in a scrap with Team VERTU's Tom Chilton for second, whilst the BMWs of Charles Rainford and Jake Hill and Hyundai of Adam Morgan fought behind.

The #1 Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport BMW of reigning champion Hill was next to pit – this time with a puncture following contact with Morgan's #33 Hyundai i30N.

As WSR's race was unravelling, Team VERTU's was improving rapidly as Chilton and Morgan muscled their way into second and third respectively, whilst standings leader Ingram had moved into fifth.

Rainford provided some respite for BMW by claiming fourth for LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR, as he moved to summit of the Jack Sears Trophy, at the expense of stablemate DeLeon.

Ingram dominates to move into unassailable points lead

A commanding victory for Ingram in race two moved the Hyundai man into an unassailable points lead with one race of the season remaining.

A packed crowd lined the famous Grand Prix circuit as pole-sitter Cammish first sped away in his NAPA Racing UK Ford Focus, but the Goodyear soft tyre shod runners were soon swarming in.

Team VERTU's Chilton relinquished Cammish of the lead while title protagonists, Ingram and Sutton, made their way through the order.

Cammish fell out of contention as Chilton let Team VERTU teammate Ingram through into the lead, helping him to close in on a second BTCC title.

There was an inkling of drama, however, when Chilton's Hyundai crawled to a standstill during a safety car period, which had occurred following contact between Árón Taylor-Smith's Toyota (TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK with IAA) and Rainford's BMW (LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR).

Now, with the top two in the championship running one-two in the race there was the possibility of a battle Royale, but another safety car period halted proceedings when Taylor-Smith's Toyota was again involved, as he crashed out following contact with teammate Cook.

In truth, Ingram never looked troubled as he pulled clear to win his seventh race of the season to move into an unassailable points lead ahead of Sutton.

Ingram takes title as Cook wins finale

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK with IAA's Cook took his first victory of the season in the very final race of the campaign, as Team VERTU's Ingram was officially crowned the 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Champion.

Cook drove like a man on a mission as he dived past the BMW duo of pole-sitter Aiden Moffat and Hill, the latter racing in the BTCC for the final time in the #1 Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport machine.

Hill struggled a little in the early stages as he and stablemate Moffat (LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR) were both passed by NAPA Racing UK's Sutton, but the outgoing champion was back on the pace soon after.

When the chequered flag waved, Cook became the 13th different race winner of the year with the popular podium being completed by Sutton and Hill.

Ingram blasted his Hyundai across the line in sixth, confirming his place as a two-time BTCC champion.

Tom Ingram, Team VERTU – 2025 BTCC Champion – said: “I cannot put into words just how special this feeling is after everything that’s gone on this year. I’ve had the best season’s racing I’ve had in my life – Team VERTU have completely smashed it! I’ve put absolutely everything into this; it’s been incredibly full-on both physically and emotionally, and the hard work that has gone in behind-the-scenes has been unmatched – I’ve never seen anything like it, quite honestly.

“The BTCC has always been my lifelong dream – it’s my passion, my hobby, my everything – and I never wanted to be a one-hit wonder. This one feels more special than in 2022. Then, it felt like we came into the weekend as underdogs and pulled it off, but this year we have left nothing on the table. The teamwork, the emotion and the sheer will to win have been nothing short of unreal. From the bottom of my heart, a huge ‘thank you’ to everyone.”

Tom Ingram stands triumphant in Round 29 of the 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship at Brands Hatch to take an unassailable points lead in the Drivers' Standings with one race of the season remaining.

A packed crowd lined the famous Grand Prix circuit as pole-sitter Dan Cammish first sped away in his NAPA Racing UK Ford Focus, but the Goodyear soft tyre shod runners were soon swarming in.

Team VERTU's Tom Chilton relinquished Cammish of the lead as title protagonists Tom Ingram (Team VERTU) and Ash Sutton (NAPA Racing UK) both made their way through the order.

Cammish fell out of contention as Chilton let Team VERTU teammate Ingram through into the lead, helping him to close in on a second BTCC title.

There was an inkling of drama, however, when Chilton's Hyundai ground to a halt during a safety car period, which had occurred following contact between Árón Taylor-Smith's Toyota (TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK with IAA) and Charles Rainford's BMW (LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR).

Now, with the top two in the championship running one-two in the race there was the possibility of a battle Royale, but another safety car period halted proceedings when Taylor-Smith's Toyota was again involved, as he crashed out following contact with team-mate Josh Cook.

In truth, Ingram never looked phased as he pulled clear to win his seventh race of the season to move into an unassailable points lead ahead of Sutton.

The podium was completed by Team VERTU's Senna Proctor, with his battling performance having huge implications in the Manufacturers'/Constructors' and Teams' championships.

With one race remaining, Alliance Racing/Ford lead EXCELR8 Motorsport/Hyundai by a solitary point in the Manufacturers'/Constructors' and the same outfits are blanketed by just four points in the Teams' table.

There are other titles up for grabs of course, with the top three in the Independent Drivers' covered by 11 points and the battle for Jack Sears Trophy top two separated by just five points.

Dan Cammish (NAPA Racing UK) stood victorious in Round 28 of the 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship at Brands Hatch as championship leader Tom Ingram (Team VERTU) extended the gap ahead of title rival Ash Sutton (NAPA Racing UK).

Cammish's triumph was made all the more routine when pole-sitter Daryl DeLeon peeled off into the pitlane, as his WSR BMR suffered with an engine problem on the green flag lap.

NAPA Racing UK's Dan Rowbottom immediately became embroiled in a scrap with Team VERTU's Tom Chilton for second, whilst the BMWs of Charles Rainford, Jake Hill and Hyundai of Adam Morgan fought behind.

The #1 Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport BMW of reigning champion Hill was next to pit – this time with a puncture following contact with Morgan's #33 Hyundai i30N.

As WSR's race was unravelling, Team VERTU's was improving rapidly as Chilton and Morgan muscled their way into second and third respectively, whilst standings leader Ingram had moved into fifth.

Rainford provided some respite for the BMWs by claiming fourth for LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR, as he moved to summit of the Jack Sears Trophy, at the expense of stablemate DeLeon.

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK with IAA's Gordon Shedden starred throughout to finish seventh, with Restart Racing's Dan Lloyd in eighth.

Lloyd's Hyundai flew out of the blocks from 15th on the grid as he made up seven places to move ten points clear in the Independent Drivers' standings.

NAPA Racing UK's Ash Sutton and Restart Racing's Chris Smiley were ninth and tenth respectively, with the former keeping his narrow title hopes of a fifth BTCC title alive.

Ingram now leads Sutton by 37 points with a maximum of 44 still on offer in the final two races.

Race 2 commences at 1405 and the final race of 2025 gets underway at 1730, with all the action being broadcast live at 1730.

At just 20-years-old Daryl DeLeon has already scored two pole positions in the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship, immediately following up his maiden P1 at Silverstone with another at Brands Hatch GP.

DeLeon is the youngest driver to take two pole positions since Tom Chilton way back in 2005, with the latter also lining up at the sharp end of today's grid – narrowly missing out on the front row.

NAPA Racing UK duo Dan Cammish and Dan Rowbottom followed DeLeon home on the timesheets and we caught up with the top three post-qualifying...
