Wrotham’s Motorbase Performance’s NAPA Racing squad win two races out of three with Dan Cammish and Ash Sutton triumphing in British Touring Car Championship at Croft

Wrotham-based Motorbase Performance’s NAPA Racing squad took two wins out of three races at Croft but it was Dan Cammish - not championship leader Ash Sutton - who got the ball rolling in the latest round of the British Touring Car Championship.

The weekend started ominously for NAPA’s rivals, including Platt’s Heath’s Jake Hill, with a 1,2,3 in qualifying. Cammish took the all-important pole position ahead of Daniel Rowbottom with Sutton third. There they stayed until the final lap, when Rowbottom moved over for the championship leader.

Hill, driving for Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport, was fifth and Broadstairs’ returnee Michael Crees was 21st for Team HARD.

In race two Sutton’s Ford Focus blasted off the line from second on the grid and cruised around the outside of Cammish to move into the lead through turn one. He pulled nearly eight seconds clear of the chasing pack with Cammish second and Rowbottom again third. Title hopeful Hill was only 11th after a late spin while fifth with Crees finishing 19th.

Crees was arguably the happiest Kent driver after race three, where he was 11th - an improvement of eight places to finish just half a second behind 10th-placed George Gamble. Hill was seventh with NAPA’s Cammish and Rowbottom fourth and fifth.

Sutton, meanwhile, was involved in a coming-together with Team BMW’s Stephen Jelly and was forced to retire. BMW’s Colin Turkington won the race.

“What a result for NAPA,” Cammish said. “It was fantastic to get a 1-2-3 for the first time in qualifying. It’s great being at the front but you can also get it very wrong if you are not careful.

“From our side, I think we have had more team debriefs this weekend than we have had in a while and are doing our absolute best for
