NAPA Racing UK’s Ash Sutton charged to the top of the timesheets at Thruxton during the final officially timed test of the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship pre-season on Wednesday, 13th April, with all four Motorbase Performance-run drivers impressing at the Hampshire track.
Reigning BTCC Champion Sutton produced his fastest time of the ‘Media Day’ outing during the afternoon session, with a lap of 1m15.607 seconds (112.18mph), to conclude the day 0.137 seconds clear. His No.1 Ford Focus ST also sported gold Kwik Fit plates for the first time, a new introduction for the current champion from this season forward.
Team-mate Cammish, in the No.9 blue and yellow NAPA Racing UK entered Focus, wrapped-up the day sixth on the combined timesheets with a time of 1m16.128 seconds (111.41mph) which also came in the two hour 45 minute second session. Cammish had been the quickest of the Motorbase run drivers in the morning outing, third fastest, while Sutton was sixth at that point.
