Sutton executed a textbook launch from pole position to retain a lead he would never relinquish ahead of Hyund൲ai's Ingram as the three-time champion romped to his fifth victory of the season, extending his points to 12 ahead of defending champion in the process.

The NAPA Racing UK driver settled into🔯 a consistent rhythm right from the start of the race as Sutton quickly assembled a near one-second gap, with Ingram giving chase in second position.

As Sutton extended his lead ahead 🔴of Ingram, the Hyundai driver was forced to switch his attentions to defending second a♑head of Thruxton maestro Josh Cook in third.

At one point, Cook cam💛e perilously close to demoting Ingram to third step on the rostrum, but the reigning champion held his nerve to grad🧔ually open the gap back to the chasing One Motorsport Honda Civic Type-R.

Sutton eventually crossed the line 2🦂.5s ahead of Ingram, while Cook completed the podium in third, a further 1.5s adrift of the EXCELR8 Hyundai i30N♛.

Laser Tools Racing's Jake Hill endured a lonely race to finish as the top BMW runner in fourth position. With the top-three proving to be a league in of their ⛎own, Hill ended the🍃 race over four-seconds adrift of Cook's Honda Civic Type-R.

NAPA Racing UK's Dan Cammish compensated f♈or a slightly disappointing run to secure a top-five finish in fifth. Cammish made a rapid start to the race after making up three places on the opening lap, before passing four-time champion Colin Turkington for fifth on lap two.

Turkington spent the entire race sitting just 0.5s behind the Ford Focus of Cammish, but the Team BMW driver never g🦩ot quit🐈e close enough to launch a meaningful attack.

Toyota Gazoo Racing UK's Rory Butcher secured a seventh-place fini༒sh, ahead of Power Maxed Racing duo Mikey Doble and Aron Taylor-Smith in eighth and ninth.

Team HARD's Bobby Th𒐪ompson completed t🐓he top-ten order in tenth.
