Home hero Lloyd seals emotional Croft win on return after Oulton Park incident

-


Daniel Lloyd produced the goods to begin Sunday’s proceedings at Croft with Round 13 of the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) heading the way of the local hero in an emotional victory for the Bristol Street Motors with EXCELR8 Trade Price Cars.com driver.

From third on the grid, he launched past Dan Rowbottom into Clervaux and nipped past Colin Turkington before the end of the first lap before soaking up pressure from the Team BMW driver with both having a herculean effort to get back onto the grid in the first place.

After both being caught up in a horror crash at Oulton Park which saw Turkington’s BMW rebuilt and Lloyd having to attain extra sponsorship to stay on the grid after receiving a huge damage bill, they both ended up being the cream of the crop with Lloyd sealing his first win in four years.

Rowbottom completed the podium places holding off Tom Ingram for the full duration, while Jake Hill, Ash Sutton, Rory Butcher and Aiden Moffat chased down the Hyundai of Ingram throughout the race. While Car Gods with Ciceley Motorsport’s George Gamble and the third Hyundai of Tom Chilton rounded out the top ten.
