Jake Hill stormed to a magnificent double win on a day of high drama for the British Touring Car Championship at Knockhill.

Hill, from Goudhurst, was in imperious form aboard his BMW 330e M Sport during the opening two races.

Running third as part of a multi-car battle for the lead of race one that featured seven cars as rain began to fall at one-third distance, he moved up the order after switching to wet tyres and claimed his third win of 2023.

He doubled his tally for the weekend with a 10th career win in race two, resisting intense pressure from behind for the final five laps.

Contact restricted him to 14th in race three, which was held in heavy rain that began just as the cars were sat on the grid.

Hill, who scored the 330e M Sport’s seventh win from seven events this season, is now the highest-placed BMW driver in the Championship, holding third spot with Team BMW’s Colin Turkington one place behind.

Hill, who races for Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport, said: “Races one and two have been amazing today.

“The first race was extremely challenging with the mixed conditions, but it’s great to come away with the win.

“In race two I really had to defend hard to get the win, but it was a good battle and I got it.

“Race three didn’t go the way I’d hoped, but the pace in both wet and dry was strong from the BMW so I go to Donington looking for even more.”

The Wrotham-based Motorbase Performance team also enjoyed success in Scotland, with Ash Sutton winning the third race in his Ford Focus, adding to finishes of sixth and second.

The championship moves on to Donington Park on August 26-27.
