Heading into this weekend's Brands Hatch finale, Colin Turkington trails standings leader Ash Sutton by just ten points after what has been a breathless Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship campaign.

With 67 points on offer over the final three rounds of 2017, there is plenty of time remaining for that deficit to be overcome.

The Team BMW man has the advantage of having been there before. In 2009 and 2014 he emerged victorious from the finale weekend, driving West Surrey Racing-prepared BMWs. Two wins on his most recent visit to the longer GP circuit would indicate he won't be handing anything to Sutton on a plate, even if those victories did come in a Subaru.

“The buzz about this weekend is incredible and I’m raring to get going," said Turkington. "Once we arrive at Brands on Friday it’s game on and I can assure you I will be giving it everything I have.

"When it comes down to it, you have to have complete belief in your car, your ability and the team.  There isn’t one doubt in my mind about any of this.  I know we can do this. The volume of work and resource that has gone into the BMW this season fills me with confidence and this can only improve our chances.  When you take into account how competitive we were here at the Indy circuit in April, all the right signs are there.

"I’ve enjoyed some fantastic races around Brands Hatch GP throughout the years. Clinching both my titles were life changing moments and last year’s double win was also a pretty memorable one.

"I want this more than ever and I feel I’ve worked harder than ever. We’ve busted ourselves day in and day out to be in this position and I can assure you there is only one result on my mind.

"Second place is not an option for me. I have two super quick team mates to bolster my charge and together we can make this happen for BMW.” 

Ahead of the final three rounds of the 2017 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship this weekend at Brands Hatch, btcc.net spoke to Series Director Alan Gow for his preview of what will certainly be a fascinating, thrilling end to the season. 

Speedworks Motorsport's Tom Ingram heads to Brands Hatch with the faintest chance of the overall Drivers' title, though its the Independents' crown he's focussing on this weekend.

Ingram flew out of the traps this year with victories at Brands Hatch and Donington Park. With a further three podiums already under his belt by Oulton Park he was sitting pretty, top of the pile in the Drivers' standings.

A difficult mid-season followed, though over the course of recent weekends he's re-discovered that early-season form to catapult him into the enviable position of top-placed Independent heading into the finale and in with a serious chance of championship silverware. A 67-point deficit in the overall race, to Ash Sutton, means the Toyota man is still in mathematical contention – no mean feat for a non-factory racer.

"It's been a stunning season, and we're proud of what we've been able to achieve this year with our little team," said Ingram. "You can look back and pick moments out but really, there's nothing I can really be annoyed about.

"To head to Brands not that far off winning the BTCC is something we can really be encouraged by. As a team we're a third of the size of some of the others up there, and from the outset we realised winning the overall prize was probably an outside shot, realistically.

"Even so, we set out to be up there and in the mix and that's exactly what we've managed to do – it's been fantastic."

Ingram and Speedworks both head the way in the Independents' tallies for both driver and team, with a small 31-point cushion to Jack Goff in second spot and a 10-point lead over Eurotech Racing. Not much room, then, for Ingram to manoeuvre, and caution is the watchword ahead of the final three rounds of 2017.

"We're aware of the buffer we've got to Jack (Goff) but we've seen how quickly things can change around so we'll have to be on top of our game. Finishing every race and staying out of trouble will be important but at the same time you want to finish as best you can – you don't go out in qualifying wanting to line up tenth.

"I've got an eye on third in the overall championship too. We're only a point off (Gordon) Shedden, so I'll be going all-out to try and get it.

"We enjoy Brands and we've gone well here historically. It's a circuit that suits our car and we're in a strong position. Everything's in our favour really so I'm excited to get going."

BTC Norlin Racing heads to the Brands Hatch finale on a high after a maiden podium finish at Silverstone, in what is the team's first year in the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship.

It was a day of personal bests, complementing that overall trophy, with Dave Newsham sealing third and another Independents' Trophy while team-mate Chris Smiley came home seventh.

The outfit had been building a head of steam over the course of recent weekends, with several top ten finishes at both Rockingham and Knockhill indicating their rapid progress over the course of 2017. This run left Norlin eyeing its first podium and Silverstone was earmarked as a potentially fruitful hunting ground. Team Boss Bert Taylor highlighted the satisfaction of achieving a major marker he had set at the squad's inception.

“We knew that we had all the ingredients for running in the top ten and getting onto the podium this year, and I couldn’t be happier that we have now achieved our goal," said Taylor.  

"Everyone has worked so hard, and the results are a reflection on the entire team. I would like to thank everyone that has supported us so far this year. We are a new team and it has been quite a rollercoaster. I am glad that they came on the journey with us, and cannot wait to see what we can go on to achieve at Brands Hatch."

Chief Engineer Steve Brady echoed Taylor's thoughts, saying: “It was a great weekend for us, and I have to thank the team, as it is the result of everyone working together that has achieved this.  We have great people, and the results in our first year have shown this.”

Newsham had set his sights on maintaining a top ten berth in Northamptonshire with an eye to a favourable grid slot for race three. That he got, starting pole, and a showcase performance saw him hold off Tom Ingram for third to make the final step on the rostrum. Though delighted, the Inverness-based racer admitted that he felt there was potential for even more. 

“It was an incredible achievement for the team to get onto the podium – it’s our first year!" he said. "I can’t thank Norlin and our sponsors enough. I like to think I’m doing the business for the guys that put me here.

“The car was just mega. I had the pace and I gave myself a strong talking to after the worst start of my life. I could have even won it had I done better there.

"Every time we go out we’re learning more and we’re hitting the sweet spot. It’s a shame for us that the season’s coming to an end.”

“The car felt great and we kept getting quicker and quicker as the weekend went on," added a delighted Smiley. "We have made some really good progress as a team, and we are aiming to finish the season on a high at Brands Hatch in a couple of weeks.”

Ash Sutton and Colin Turkington lead the chase for coveted BTCC title

The race for the most prestigious title in British motor sport is set to go right down to the wire once again at Brands Hatch next weekend (30 September-1 October) with a head-to-head duel in store between standings leader Ash Sutton and double champ Colin Turkington.

The pair lead the way after a rollercoaster trip to Silverstone, where the initiative swung one way then the next, leaving Team BMW's Turkington just ten points shy of Adrian Flux Subaru Racing's Sutton atop the table. With 67 points on offer over the final three rounds of the campaign at the legendary Kent venue, there is plenty of time for change before the final chequered flag falls on 2017 come Sunday evening.

Reigning champion Gordon Shedden is third in the running and Tom Ingram sits fourth – both still retain the faintest of hopes of clinching the championship. 

The iconic Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit is set to play host to three unmissable races and has witnessed many a memorable moment over the last six years as the BTCC's final port of call. A huge crowd is expected at the hallowed Kent venue – packed spectator banking and grandstands are a sure thing, while many more will be watching the drama unfold live and exclusively on ITV4.

Who'll come out on top?
Sutton is nearing the end of what is only his second campaign in Britain's premier championship and heads the charge with just three rounds left to run, holding a narrow 10-point margin at the top of the charts.

His season has gathered pace ever since a pair of podiums at Donington Park back in April outlined his intentions. They followed a difficult opening weekend at the opposite end of the season at the Kent venue, albeit on the shorter Indy loop. A first victory of the year came at Oulton Park, as the Subaru Levorg once again proved it would be a force to be reckoned with, following on from a storming second half of 2016 – largely in the hands of his immediate rival in 2017, Colin Turkington.

Further trips to the top step of the rostrum followed at Croft, Knockhill and Rockingham, punctuated by a stunning win-double at Snetterton. No driver has taken more victories than Sutton this season. The Subaru man outstrips Turkington and Shedden by double – that duo sit second and third in the Drivers' standings respectively, each on three wins.

"I'm in a strong position," said Sutton. "I just need to carry on the momentum we've got. Brands GP is a circuit I love and I'm feeling confident heading into the finale."

Turkington, meanwhile, has been there before. The double champion has headed into the finale, in a West Surrey Racing-prepared BMW no less, with it all to do and has come up with the goods. This year, he's matched Sutton almost every step of the way. He's a podium shy, but has managed two more top six finishes. It's this consistency that is so vital to a good season in the BTCC and with the pressure on next weekend, will experience prove to be a key factor in the Ulsterman's favour? Two wins on his last visit to the longer GP circuit would indicate he'll be a tough nut to crack.

"I’m obviously on the back foot," said Turkington. "From race one I’ve got to start reducing the deficit. It’s a positive that it's only ten points now. I have nothing to protect heading to Brands next weekend, it’s all clear in my head – I've got to outscore Ash (Sutton) at every opportunity. It’s very straightforward for me from that point of view."

The other drivers still in with a shout are reigning champion Gordon Shedden and Tom Ingram. The Halfords Yuasa Racing man has scored two titles on the bounce, though at this stage a hat-trick looks unlikely. That said, nothing is impossible and the Scot has seen points differentials swing in his favour, with a never-say-die attitude in each of the last two seasons at Brands Hatch ensuring he came up trumps in both of those encounters. 

Meanwhile, Speedworks Motorsport's Ingram – who tops the Independent Drivers' charts – enjoyed a flying start to 2017. A mid-season lull has been followed by a strong comeback in the second half of the campaign, with his four wins in the Toyota the best of the bunch behind Sutton's six.

Rob Huff was humbled after the fans’ response to his return to the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship this weekend at Silverstone, where he secured a season's best result for Power Maxed Racing with second in race three.

Huff was deputising for his World Touring Car Championship friend and rival Tom Chilton, and so, the Cambridge-based driver was forced into carrying the extra penalty of 45kg of ballast over the weekend as a substitute. He qualified down in 28th spot and was hoping for better on Sunday.

Huff made swift progress in his first BTCC race since 2004 – driving through to 16th position, placing himself well for the second race of the day. 

He managed to work his way well into the points-paying positions and eighth through that encounter – leaving him in with a shout of reversed-grid fortune. The stars aligned, and the 2012 WTCC drivers’ champion found himself on the front row for the final race of the day.

Huff launched the Vauxhall Astra off the line and straight into the lead past pole-sitter Dave Newsham's BTC Norlin Racing Chevrolet. From there, he started to build a comfortable lead, but with the safety car deployed on lap three, the gap Huff had built was immediately wiped out.

The 37-year-old, racing car #37, then valiantly held off a charge from leading Independents' driver Tom Ingram, but found himself with triple BTCC champion Matt Neal’s Honda on his tail – a sight nobody would like to see in their mirrors.

He held on stoically until Neal made his move with just four laps to go. Second place, though, was enough to secure the team’s best result of the season at the home of British motor racing.

“I had no real expectations this weekend after qualifying 28th and I never thought we'd get a podium from there," said Huff. "I just stayed out of trouble in the first two races and got the car up the sharp end of the grid.

“I had a fantastic start, and before the safety car came out, I thought we had it all done, but unfortunately it took my lead away. But even then, when Matt (Neal) got behind me, for five or six laps I thought I could probably still win the race, but he just sneaked up the inside of me.

“Power Maxed Racing gave me a great car this weekend, and in every session we went forward and further forward. The set-up that I created at the end was on (team-mate) Senna (Proctor)’s car as well, and he charged from the back with that and got the fastest lap.

“It’s nice to be able to give the team a podium, take the team in a new direction with the car that they can go forward with and utilise.

“The reception from the fans has also been brilliant. The fans are what make the championship – you can have any championship in the world with any cars you like, and the racing can be as close as you like, but if you haven’t got the fans, you haven’t got a championship.

“I’ve been away for 14 years, and they’ve remembered me, followed me and welcomed me back like I’ve never been welcomed before, and to have that kind of response is very humbling.

"What a team these guys are and it’s great to be here in front of some great fans. I really want to get myself back into the BTCC – it’s been a great weekend."

Laser Tools Racing's Aiden Moffat sealed maiden weekend Dunlop #ForeverForward honours of 2017 at Silverstone, making up the second-highest number of positions over a meeting this year with a massive 30 places gained.

The young Scot was on a real charge as he strived to make up ground from his starting berth of 24th after Saturday's qualifying session. He steered his Mercedes-Benz A-Class to a stunning eighth and just seven seconds shy of race winner Tom Ingram come the chequered flag.

A broken driveshaft put paid to his race two, enforcing a start from the back of the grid for race three. His recovery drive took him as far as the points and 14th spot. That #ForeverForward haul was enough to see him into the competition's overall top three.

Adrian Flux Subaru Racing man Ash Sutton was forced into a similar fightback in the finale after a third strike penalty saw him demoted to the back of the grid.

The Drivers' standings leader picked his way through incidents and a safety car period to finish 11th – notching crucial points for his championship charge while immediate rival Colin Turkington suffered a tumultuous race on the way to a 22nd-place finish.

On his return to the BTCC – his first appearance since 2004 – Rob Huff progressed from 28th in qualifying to the podium come race three. This saw the Power maxed Racing super-sub third in the #ForeverForward running for the weekend.

It's Halfords Yuasa Racing's triple champ Matt Neal that still heads the way in the overall #ForeverForward charts going into the Brands Hatch finale weekend.

#ForeverForward – Silverstone:

1) Aiden Moffat 30
2) Ash Sutton 25
3) Rob Huff 19

#ForeverForward – Overall Standings:

1) Matt Neal 130
2) Jake Hill/Dave Newsham 108
3) Aiden Moffat 106

Whilst the BTCC again produced three enthralling action-packed races at Silverstone this past weekend there was much talk about a number of incidents involving contact between competitors on-track.

The official BTCC website caught up with Series Director, Alan Gow, to get his thoughts on this particular subject…

"I’m not happy at all with the amount of contact and resulting body damage – despite the fact that we have clearly been increasing the amount and severity of penalties for driving infringements,” he said. “We’ve had more and greater penalties this year than in any season I can remember.
 
“Yes of course when there are 32 cars blanketed by just nine tenths during qualifying then it’s almost inevitable that some degree of minor contact and mistakes will occur - some drivers are truly superb to watch in close duels, but many simply don't give enough ‘racing room’ to each other. 
 
“So we will keep issuing increasingly tougher penalties where it is warranted, but by then of course the incident has already occurred. The harsh reality is that it’s the drivers themselves who have to take sole responsibility for their own actions. After all, those are the guys who are driving the cars and making the decisions that lead to making contact, or not, with another car  – not us.
 
“We have a teams meeting next month and this subject will be at the very top of my agenda. Personally I’m in favour of 'lowering the bar' even further in terms of drivers accruing a race ban, along with introducing other harsher sanctions, and I look forward to hearing what the teams and drivers will also do to help us remove unnecessary contact. It can actually be changed quite quickly, largely with a simple change in mindset and attitude from some drivers and teams.  We will sort it out..."

Ash Sutton and Colin Turkington locked in BTCC Battle Royale

The 2017 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship will go down to the wire at Brands Hatch in two weeks’ time after a sensational penultimate race day at Silverstone saw the title picture take a number of twists and turns.
 
A head-to-head is poised between standings leader Ash Sutton and Colin Turkington with just ten points covering the pair, whilst Gordon Shedden and Tom Ingram still have the faintest of chances to clinch the coveted crown.
 
Tom Ingram, Jack Goff and Matt Neal claimed a win apiece on the day as the huge crowd enjoyed a thrilling triple-header in Northamptonshire.
 
Speedworks Motorsport’s Ingram took an early lead from pole-sitter Goff in the opener and the Toyota man subsequently romped on to claim his fourth victory of the season.
 
Eurotech Racing’s Goff kept the eventual race winner honest throughout, but Ingram would hang on until red flags ended the encounter prematurely.
 
Adam Morgan grabbed an impressive – if a little lonely – third place finish, but it was the accident behind that provided the main bulk of the action.
 
Chris Smiley’s Chevrolet and Aron Taylor-Smith’s MG touched on the run down to Maggotts on lap 14, which had a knock-on effect on those behind. Rob Collard’s BMW was collected in the melee and his damaged machine left the track, slid wildly across the grass, before firing back across the circuit at Becketts. An unsighted Will Burns then slammed into Collard’s car, with Andrew Jordan also unfortunately involved – ending the trio’s respective efforts and eventually resulting in the race being cut short.
 
Collard and Burns were both taken to hospital for precautionary checks, with the latter suffering rib injuries, but both were discharged later in the day.
 
Goff returned the favour on race one winner Ingram as the Honda Civic Type R driver claimed a hugely popular and impressive win in the second bout.
 
Ingram’s Toyota made another stellar getaway as the pole position man fended off Goff’s Honda out of the traps. Goff hounded Ingram in the early running, however, and made a firm move stick into Becketts on lap three. Goff then went on take a dominant victory – his first for Eurotech Racing.
 
The scrap for the final podium position had implications on the title race with championship leader Sutton making a last gasp move on rival Turkington.
 
Team BMW’s Turkington was in defensive mode as Sutton nosed his Subaru down the inside into Luffield on the final tour, and the former couldn’t hang on as the young standings leader completed the pass on the approach to Woodcote.
 
Stewards reviewed the incident post-race, however, and Sutton was subsequently penalised for the move – the podium place awarded to Turkington as a result. As this was the young star’s third penalty strike of the season, he was then forced to start the final contest from the back of the grid.
 
Halfords Yuasa Racing’s Neal surged from 12th on the grid to win the final thriller, which also saw Power Maxed Racing’s Rob Huff and BTC Norlin Racing’s Dave Newsham score crowd-pleasing podium finishes.
 
Pole-sitter Newsham bogged down from pole position, enabling Huff’s Vauxhall to inherit the lead early on.
 
Speedworks Motorsport’s Ingram picked up the baton in challenging Huff for the lead and the duo went side-by-side at mid-distance, but Huff’s staunch defence was enough to see off the Toyota.
 
Neal was busy making ground and when he disposed of Ingram, Newsham and Adam Morgan’s Mercedes with relative ease, the triple BTCC champion then began hauling in Huff’s Vauxhall Astra. 
 
The latter’s defence was finally broken on lap 21 of 25 as Neal’s Honda nipped up the inside at Becketts. The veteran racer went on to extend his advantage over the remainder of the race to take his 61st BTCC victory.
 
The title chase took another incredible twist when Turkington’s BMW got caught up in someone else’s incident, ending his weekend on a rather low point, especially given he was unable to capitalise on rival Sutton's earlier penalty.
 
His 125i M Sport had already been shuffled down the order before an altercation involving Stephen Jelley’s Ford and Jason Plato’s Subaru happened directly in front of him. The Ulsterman had nowhere to go and heavy contact followed, leaving the championship contender crawling back to the pits with a damaged Bavarian machine.
 
Therefore it was 11th placed Sutton who arguably had the most to celebrate. With Turkington and reigning champion Shedden hitting trouble, the Adrian Flux Subaru Racing driver was able to extend his championship lead to ten points with 67 still on offer at the Brands Hatch season finale.
 
BMW and Team BMW maintained their lead in the Manufacturers’ and Teams’ standings. Tom Ingram and Speedworks Motorsport hold the initiative in both Independents’ tables, whilst Power Maxed Racing’s Senna Proctor now boasts an unassailable points lead in the Jack Sears Trophy. The youngster has flourished in his maiden BTCC campaign. Tallying 14 JST victories, he's been a force to be reckoned with in the Vauxhall Astra.
 
Rounds 28, 29 and 30 of the 2017 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship will take place at Brands Hatch on 30 September/1 October with yet another enthralling title showdown set to wow the crowds.

Ashley Sutton said: "I’m over the moon with that – I didn’t expect it. We were on the back foot to start with and we’ve bounced back from it. It was always going to be a tough ask – I said on the grid top 15 would be nice. I was assisted with the incidents going on and I’m pleased to have bounced back like that. It was a nice little sight to see Turkington on the exit there and it took a little bit of the pressure off – it was a nice surprise. The BTCC is the pinnacle of British motorsport. For me, it’s time to reset and sit down with the team – Carl (Faux) and Jason (Plato). Jason’s been here before and I need to pick out what I can ahead of Brands."
 
Colin Turkington said: "A third and a fourth have helped us close in, even if it was just by two points. It really took a twist from the first corner in race three with a couple of guys going off. The first sequence of the lap went okay for me. I got tagged going into Brooklands on the first lap. That turned me around three-quarters of the way down the field. There was another incident at Luffield and the cars ahead made a roadblock – I couldn’t get out of the way. It’s so frustrating. I worked so hard in race one or two to claw points back but there’s nothing I could have done to stop that race three drama unfolding so I’ve just got to go and reset and go on to Brands. I’m obviously on the back foot. From race one I’ve got to start reducing the deficit. It’s a positive it's only ten points now, I’ve taken two from the gap having finished just two of the races really. I have nothing to protect heading to Brands, it’s clear in my head I've got to outscore Ash (Sutton) at every opportunity – it’s very straightforward for me from that point of view."
 
Tom Ingram said: "I'm delighted with the win. It was a bit of a strange one with that late incident. We had that safety car and you’re just focusing on where you need to drop the hammer and on keeping temperatures up. I got the jump on the restart and all of a sudden, I got the call that there would be a red flag. I really didn’t expect to start as well as I did as the right side of the grid was wet. I thought I’d be down in fourth or fifth but when they matter I seem to be able to pull them out of the bag. When the rain came down, it was the hardest thing. I had a huge moment at Copse – as soon as I hit the brakes, I slid on. The worst place to be is the lead in that situation. Everyone uses you as a judge of the conditions and inevitably it’s the leader that falls off. To take another overall win as well as the Independents’ win is fantastic to get us back on track after that mid-season dip."
 
Jack Goff said: "The second victory took a little while to come. It’s been over two years now! It’s for all the Eurotech guys – we’ve had a tough time with Jeff (Smith)’s accident and it’s for all our sponsors too. I watched some old footage of Andy (Jordan) and Jason (Plato) back and I saw that at turn one we might get a bit of help with the softer compound tyre. The car was fantastic. It’s usually pretty good but performance over the race distance is sometimes our downfall. It was great there though even with ballast. The first NGTC pole for a Honda and a first win for Jeff as team boss. Brilliant!"
 
Matt Neal said: "We’ve had long weekend, so that was lovely. It’ll make pack up and the journey home a wee bit shorter. It’s great for everybody involed, but it has been a tough weekend. I was a little bit lucky but a lot went for the hard option tyre earlier on and I took the risk. It was a bit of a struggle for me in race two on that rubber through copse, so I thought it’d be a good hunting ground for me in race three, and so it was. I tried to make headway early on and then things settled and I could try and work out where we were strong and others were weaker. It was the fast stuff where we are generally, and it is there where the Honda Civic Type R goes well. I thought it was going to be hard work, trying to pass Rob (Huff) but he left me a little chink of light and I got through."
