ROKiT MB Motorsport's Jake Hill sent his BMW 330e M Sport to the top of the timesheets after setting the pace ahead of defending ch꧂ampion Ash Sutton during the second British Touring Car Championship free pract🎀ice at Thruxton.

The West Surrey Racing driver posted a 1'15.722🍷s lap around the Hampshire to circuit, which was good enough to beat NAPA Racing's Sutton ﷺby 0.174s by the end of the session.

A late red flag with two-minutes to go denied anyone the opportunity to knock Hill from the top-spot, meaning the🍨 lap-ti🍌mes were marginally slower than Josh Cook's quickest effort from the morning session.

Rich Energy BTC Racing's Cook produced another sequence of consistently fa𝔍st laps as he set the third fastest time ahead of fellow Honda runner Dan Rowbo🐟ttom in fourth.

EXCELR8 Hyundai's Dan Lloyd made a late move up the order to fifth prior to the late red-flag, withᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ the sister NAPA Racing Ford F𝔉ocus ending the session in sixth.

Three-time champion Gord▨on Shedden was seventh fastest for the Team Dynamics Honda squad ahead of his fellow series veterans Colin Turkington𝓰 and Jason Plato in eighth and ninth.

Hyundai runner Tom Chil🐓ton completed the top-ten order in tenth.
