BTCC Finale: Cook doubles up as Sutton becomes a three-time champion

@BTCC on Twitter

Ash Sutton has become a three-time BTCC champion whilst Josh Cook took his fifth win of the 2021 season.

Cook started well but Proctor made a great move around the outside at Paddock Hill which put him just ahead of his teammate going into Druids.

However, Proctor went head on into the wall at Druids after appearing to be tagged by Dan Lloyd in the braking zone.

Proctor’s incident alone would’ve brought out the Safety Car but a multi car crash later in the lap confirmed it.

Tom Chilton and Sam Osbourne collided going into Surtees and the chain reaction saw Tom Oliphant, Adam Morgan and Tom Ingram also getting involved.

The Safety Car appeared to come in early meaning there were huge gaps between the drivers and, more worryingly, there were marshalls on track when the track went live.

Luck was on the side of the circuit and race directors as no one was injured and racing was able to continue.

The mayhem continued with Rory Butcher and Aiden Moffat making contact at Druids and Moffat appeared to have damage as he spun at Graham Hill Bend making contact with Chris Smiley and being hit by Stephen Jelley after having no where to go.

At the front the top six were covered by just under 3 seconds with Ash Sutton in sixth and in position to take the title.

The Safety Car was brought out for the second time after Nic Hamilton spun at Westfield and got stuck in the gravel.

Cook again restarted well, opening a gap to Lloyd and Shedden.

Cook stayed ahead to take his fifth race win of the year and Sutton was able to stay in a comfortable sixth giving him his third title in five years.

Lloyd finished second ahead on Shedden, Turkington and Rowbottom.

Rory Butcher finished seventh, just in front of Tom Chilton.

Stephen Jelley and Jake Hill completed the top 10.
