The British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) saw shifts in momentum between the Thruxton and Knockhill rounds. 

At Thruxton, Josh Cook secured a victory in Race 1 driving a Toyota Corolla, successfully defending his position against Ash Sutton. While Cook won the race, Sutton's second-place finish helped widen his championship lead.

Moving to the Knockhill races, the competition landscape shifted. Adam Morgan and Dan Rowbottom achieved a 1-2 finish for Plato Racing in the first race, which was marked by wet conditions and a safety car deployment.
