LAST weekend saw the fifth round of the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championsh­ip at Thruxton, still held behind closed doors. Bath’s Josh Cook competed in his BTC Racing Honda Civic Type R and started his first race from tenth with teammate Michael Crees ninth. They had a great dice and, after the 16 laps, Cook managed to overtake Crees for ninth place. In his second race, all three BTC Racing drivers had a dice with Tom Chilton seventh, Cook despite 12kgs of ballast - eighth and Crees ninth. The third race saw Cook begin on pole with 18kgs of ballast with Chilton second. They made a great start as Cook led from start to finish in the 16-lap race in 20 minutes 46.42 seconds at a speed of 108.87mph. He also set the fastest lap of 1:16.82 during his sixth British Touring Car victory. Elsewhere, Chris Sinanan has had to unfortunat­ely stop racing this season due to a wrist injury.
