Team BMW's Colin Turkington produced a measured drive to sec𓂃ure his 62nd British Touring Car Championship race victory ahead of West 🔯Surrey Racing stable mate Jake Hill in race one at Snetterton.

The four-time champion strengthened his new found championship lea🍌d after leading every lap from pole position ahead of the ROKiT MB Motorsport BMW of Hill.

Turkington had to contend with two safety-car periods, which neutralised the race and gave Hill two fresh opportunities to launch an attack fꦚor the race ♔lead.

However, on both occasions, Turkington controlled the restart🌄 to perfe🧸ction with his BMW 330e M Sport seemingly switching on faster than Hill's.

In typical fashion, Turki💮ngton hit his marks on every lap, which meant Hill was unable to get close enough to put the four-time champion under any real pressure.

Turkington eventually crossed the line just over a second ahead of Hill to secure hiওs second BTCC race victory of the season.

With the BMWs✤ once again proving to be the class of the field in the ultra-hot conditions, Hyundai's Tom Ingram was the nearest FWD chal꧃lenger in third position.

The EXCELR8 Motorsport Hyundai driveꦏr held off BMW duo Adam Morgan and Stephen Jelley to🍸 secure his place on the podium, albeit almost four-seconds adrift of Turkington and Hill.

Behind the top-five runners, two-time champion Jason Plato produced his equal best finish of 🤪the 2022 campaign so far in sixth position.

Following what has been a difficult last few BTCC week♌ends for the BTC Racing Honda squad, Plato kept tabs with the leaꦯding group, despite his title-contending team mate Josh Cook languishing further down the pack in 20th.

Thꦑe NAPA Racing UK and Team Dynamics Honda squads completed the remainder of the top-ten order, with Dan Cammish finishing in seventh ahead of Dan Rowbottom, Ash Sutton and Gordon Shedden in eighth, ninth and tenth.
