ASH HEADS SEVEN-UP SIZZLER

THE British Touring Car Championship is set for a sensational showdown at Brands Hatch in two weeks with three young stars covered by just seven points.

Reigning champion Ash Sutton (above) leads the way after another solid display at Silverstone from the Ford Focus star, but a win apiece for BMW’s Jake Hill and Hyundai’s Tom Ingram hauled them to within striking distance of securing a maiden title.

“The three of us, seven points in it. I’m not going to sleep between now and Brands – let’s get going,” said Ingram after cruising to his race three success at Silverstone.

BMW star Colin Turkington went into the weekend leading the standings – but left 27 points adrift.
