The final rounds of the 2023 championship season were held on the Grand Prix layout at Brands Hatch, as has become the tradition over the years. Ash Sutton arrived very much in control of proceedings with a 45-point gap to Tom Ingram, last year’s champion. The championship would be decided between the pair. 

The BTCC resumed a month after its last meeting at Donington Park as the countdown to silverware started in earnest. Ash Sutton arrived at Silverstone with one hand already on the trophy thanks to a 42-point lead over reigning champion Tom Ingram. Jake Hill, in third, started the meeting a further 20 points back. If things went really well for Sutton, he could claim his fourth title with a meeting to spare, but how did the Silverstone’s National Circuit play out?
