Ash Sutton took a hefty stride towards a record-breaking fifth British Touring Car Championship title with victory in race two at Knockhill.
With the morning rain blown away on the Scottish air, and the track merely damp off-line, Sutton and his Alliance Racing-run NAPA Ford Focus Titanium were the clear favourites for victory.
That’s because Adam Morgan, Dan Rowbottom and Gordon Shedden – the leading trio in race one – were all compelled by the sporting regulations to run the medium-compound Goodyear tyres in this race, with fourth-on-the-grid Sutton the highest-placed starter on soft rubber.
