Aiden Moffat claimed victory in Race 1 of Round 25 of the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship at Silverstone’s National circuit, near Towcester in Northamptonshire, on 27 September 2026. Driving for LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing, Moffat crossed the line in a time of 21:18.420, with teammate Mikey Doble just 0.092 seconds adrift in second. Tom Chilton completed the podium in third for Team VERTU, finishing 1.582 seconds behind the race winner.

Moffat launched superbly from second on the grid, seizing the lead at Turn 1 — Copse — and thereafter controlled proceedings at the front of the field. His teammate Doble gave close pursuit throughout, the pair ultimately separated by less than a tenth of a second at the flag, delivering a commanding one-two finish for LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing. Moffat’s victory was briefly placed in jeopardy when a five-second track-limits penalty was applied near the conclusion of the race; however, that penalty was subsequently rescinded, confirming the result and marking Moffat’s first BTCC victory since 2024. Chilton, representing Team VERTU, held third position to secure the final podium place, finishing 1.582 seconds behind Moffat.

Josh Cook took fourth place, crossing the line 4.184 seconds behind the winner, while Daryl DeLeon came home fifth, a further 1.258 seconds in arrears. Gordon Shedden secured sixth position, with Charles Rainford seventh, the pair separated by 0.784 seconds at the flag. Adam Morgan rounded out the top eight, finishing 12.097 seconds behind Moffat, with Árón Taylor-Smith and Daniel Rowbottom completing the top ten in ninth and tenth respectively, the latter classified 17.787 seconds off the race-winning time.

The victory represents a significant moment for Moffat and LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing, the team having secured a dominant one-two result that will provide considerable momentum as the 2026 championship campaign continues. For Moffat personally, the win ends a wait stretching back to 2024 for a BTCC race victory, and the manner of the triumph — leading from the opening corner and withstanding both close team competition and a brief regulatory uncertainty — underlines the strength of his and the team’s current form. Sam Osborne was the sole classified retirement from the event. The BTCC season continues at its next scheduled round.
