05 Oct 2017|3,225 views
Adrian Flux Subaru Racing driver Ash Sutton has won the 2017 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship after a fascinating weekend of racing at Brands Hatch.
In the first race, Ash scored a 3rd place podium finish with rival Colin Turkington finishing in 15th position, meaning Ash extended his lead to 24 points. In the second race, ballast played a factor with 57kg's loaded into Ash's Levorg, meaning a 12th place finish was the best he could achieve. Title rival Turkington cut the lead at the top to just six points setting up a gripping final race of the season. Rain caused havoc among the field and an early incident involving Turkington's 1 Series forced him to retire and Ash raced to another 3rd place finish, winning his maiden BTCC title in the process.
Ash has now become the youngest champion of the modern era after only his second year racing in the championship and claimed six race wins and 14 podiums throughout an incredible season.
