Tom Ingram claimed victory in Race 2 of the British Touring Car Championship season finale at Kent’s Brands Hatch on Sunday, 11 October 2026, to seal a dominant afternoon at the West Kingsdown circuit. Driving for Team Vertu, Ingram crossed the line in a time of 22:50.953, with Josh Cook of Speedworks Corolla Racing taking second place 0.6 seconds adrift. Ashley Sutton of NAPA Racing UK completed the podium in third, finishing 2.733 seconds behind the race winner.

Ingram led from lights to flag on the Grand Prix circuit, converting his advantage into a second consecutive victory of the day and leaving his rivals with no opportunity to mount a sustained challenge. Cook, representing Speedworks Corolla Racing, held second throughout the closing stages but was unable to close the gap sufficiently to threaten Ingram at the front. Sutton, meanwhile, secured third for NAPA Racing UK, finishing 2.133 seconds behind Cook. The result confirmed Ingram as runner-up in the 2026 Drivers’ Championship, while Sutton’s podium finish was consistent with his status as the newly crowned five-time champion. Dan Cammish, also representing NAPA Racing UK, crossed the line in sixth position, further underlining the team’s strong showing across the field.

In the midfield, Mikey Doble delivered a composed performance to take fourth place for LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing, finishing 4.969 seconds behind Ingram. That result carried considerable significance beyond the race itself, as it was sufficient to confirm Doble as the 2026 BTCC Independents’ Trophy Champion. Daryl DeLeon of WSR rounded out the top five, 5.358 seconds off the pace, while Aiden Moffat, also competing under the LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing banner, brought his car home in eighth. Gordon Shedden was the sole classified retirement of the race, failing to reach the finish.

Ingram’s victory at Brands Hatch represents a significant conclusion to Team Vertu’s 2026 campaign, with the driver securing back-to-back race wins on the final day of the season and confirming second place in the Drivers’ Championship. The result underlines the competitive strength of the team across the closing rounds of the year. Doble’s Independents’ Trophy triumph adds further weight to a memorable afternoon for the independent runners. Attention will now turn to the opening rounds of the next BTCC season, as teams and drivers assess their preparations for the campaign ahead.
