TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK's Rob Huff held off Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS' Tom Ingram to take his second BTCC victory of the season in a thrilling final race at Knockhill.

A lights-to-flag triumph for the former World Touring Car Champion doesn't tell the full story as the #12 Toyota Corolla had to withstand race-long pressure from Ingram with the pair going side-by-side on a few occasions in the early stages.

Huff then nailed a mid-race restart following a brief safety car period and then perfectly positioned his car for the remainder of the bout to take his second victory of the season, whilst Ingram returned to the top of the standings with his own impressive display.

Tom Chilton completed the podium celebrations for Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS as he joined team-mate Ingram on the rostrum – as they did at Croft two weeks ago.

NAPA Racing UK's Ash Sutton came out on top of a frenetic battle for fourth, ahead of Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport's Jake Hill – keeping them both well in contention in the title battle – but there was also a mid-race scrap that took out LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ's Josh Cook.

Cook and Sutton came together and then as the former's Toyota rejoined the track there was a further tangle with Hill, which sent the #66 Corolla spiralling off-track - damaging Cook's own title chances.

NAPA Racing UK's Dan Rowbottom was next in the order, ahead of Aiden Moffat (LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ) and Dan Cammish (NAPA Racing UK).

Colin Turkington and Ronan Pearson were ninth and tenth respectively – ensuring both Scots were inside the top ten.
