BTCC From The Pitwall Part 2

from Chequered Past · host Martin Elliot

The second part of BTCC: From the Pitwall picks up the 2026 British Touring Car Championship story from Round 2 at Brands Hatch, where Árón Taylor-Smith ended a decade without a win with an emotional lights-to-flag victory in wet conditions — hearing the Irish national anthem ring around the Brands Hatch speakers for the first time in years. Tom Ingram took Race 3 to finally convert his pace into victory after the frustrations of Donington.Round 3 at Snetterton brought scorching temperatures and a performance from Charles Rainford that announced him as a genuine title contender, while Ash Sutton produced one of the drives of the season to recover from the back of the grid in Race 2 — only for Gordon Shedden to hold him off by less than a second in Race 3. Away from the championship battle, Nic Hamilton's Jack Sears Trophy win produced one of the most emotional podium moments in recent BTCC memory.At Oulton Park for Round 4, Chequered Past was back on the pitwall and the grid as a Startline marshal — managing the Race 2 start countdown as Sutton dominated by nineteen seconds, and watching from the pitwall as a chaotic Race 3 unfolded, with two safety cars, track limits warnings throughout, and Charles Rainford taking his second win of the season.Send us Fan MailMusic by #Mubert Music Rendering
