BTCC: Ingram takes another pole position in 2025 at Croft

Tom Ingram starts off his weekend strong with a pole position at Croft in his hunt for the championship lead.

Qualifying group 1 saw a battle between Ingram, Dan Cammish and Daniel Rowbottom fight at the top of the timesheets as the three rocket their way in the second phase of qualifying taking the top 3 spots. Árón Taylor-Smith put his car in 4th ahead of Mikey Doble and Dan Lloyd who all get through to the next part of quali as well.

Dexter Patterson would just miss out on moving on but would do an excellent job to get 7th in the session once more proving his pace.

Group 2 would be much more interchangeable between the drivers up front as the drivers would seem to be much closer overall but it was Tom Chilton who was fastest overall leading a Team Vertu 1-2-3 as Senna Proctor and Adam Morgan would sit behind him.

Ash Sutton would manage to take 4th place in the group while Daryl DeLeon and Charles Rainford would also advance. Chris Smiley, Aiden Moffat and Sam Osborne only just missing out as they all remain very closely spread.

Qualifying 2 would see Ingram top the timesheets early in the session and maintain that top spot to the end staying ahead of the pack. Rowbottom would also get through ahead of Cammish, Lloyd, Doble, and Chilton as the 6 of them went into the final part of qualifying with a chance at pole.

Meanwhile, a shock elimination would be Sutton as the NAPA driver would only manage to get 11th meaning he'd have to come back through the pack tomorrow.

The final part of qualifying would see Ingram go to the top of the timesheets keeping a gap of nearly 3 tenths of a second to take pole position ahead of Cammish and Doble. Chilton would take 4th while Rowbottom and Lloyd ended the session 5th and 6th respectively.
