Team BMW's Colin Turkington expressed his delight in securing his first British Touring Car Championship race victory of the 2022 season after winning the final race of the da⭕y at Brands 🌳Hatch.

Despite romping to an emphatic 25th career pole posi🍨tion in qualifying, the four-time champion had to wait until race three before setting foot on the top step of the podium after ജa rain shower prior to the opening race changed the course of the weekend.

From being in the dominant position of locking out the front-two rows in qualifying, the BMW contingent, by in large, struggled in the chaꦕngeable conditions during race one and two.

Turkiꦓngton finished fift♛h and tenth in those two races, but produced a vintage performance in the fully wet conditions in race three to secure his 61st race victory in the series.

"I’m so pleased to get our just rewards for having such a qui🐻ck car in qualifying with pole position. There’s no worse feeling than having the fastest car but not getting the result," Turkington told mahbx.com.

"Race one and two were difficult. The conditions🥀 h൲ave made it tricky. It’s been a compromise on set up. We had solid points in race one and two but I was struggling with the car. We just didn’t have the grip.

"It was just overheating tyres because the track wasn’t wet enough. Yo𓂃u just burn the rears and that’s the issue."

With the conditions allowing for a fully wet set up in race three, Turkington said the ꧙alterations to the 330e M Sport made it a ღ'different car'. 

"We went on a full wet set-up for race three and it was a different car. Super pace and the end 🀅result," the Team BMW driver continueꦇd.

"Once it went full wet, it played more to our strengths. 🌌I’m super happy to🥃 get my first win of the season."
