TEAM VERTU READY FOR BTCC TITLE SHOWDOWN AT BRANDS HATCH

Team VERTU heads to Brands Hatch this weekend for what promises to be a dramatic conclusion to the 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship with no fewer than three titles on the line.

Tom Ingram goes into the season finale holding a 33 point lead in the Drivers’ Championship – with a maximum of 67 available – as he looks to secure the title for a second time, whilst the EXCELR8-run team is chasing further glory in both the Manufacturers’/Constructors’ Championship and also in the Teams’ Championship.

In the former, rivals Alliance Racing lead by a single point, whilst the deficit to the same team in the latter is just three – meaning it is all to play for around the iconic Brands Hatch GP circuit this weekend.

Ingram has already scored more points this season than ever before in a campaign where he has picked up more wins (6) and more podiums (17) than any other driver.

A model of consistency throughout the year, Ingram has failed to finish in the top eight only twice at the wheel of his Hyundai i30 Fastback N; a performance that has been key in establishing his advantage at the top.

Ingram has a strong record around the Brands Hatch GP circuit with at least one podium finish in each of the last five seasons and will look to now maintain that record to secure the top prize.

Going into the season finale, Tom Chilton sits sixth in the championship standings and on course for his best end-of-year result in Team VERTU colours.

A two-time winner already this season, Chilton has been a consistent front-runner and will look to challenge at the sharp end to not only strengthen this own position in the standings, but also to help the team in its battle for the championship.

It’s a similar story for Adam Morgan, who goes into the finale just a point behind Chilton in the standings.

Morgan has bagged multiple podium finishes this season in his first year with the team and has a strong record around the Brands GP circuit – including his maiden BTCC victory back in 2014.

Senna Proctor meanwhile is one of five drivers who go into the season finale covered by just six points in the fight to end the year inside the top ten.

Proctor could yet finish as high as eighth in the standings despite missing the opening three race weekends – a loss of nine race results – and will hope for a strong end to boost both his own and the team’s championship result.

Qualifying for the final meeting of the season will air on YouTube on Saturday at 15:15 before the three races on Sunday at 11:25, 14:05 and 17:30 are all shown on ITV4 and ITVX.
