Car Gods with Ciceley Motorsport's Aಌdam Morgan has taken his first British Touring Car Champion🌞ship victory of the season after holding off Colin Turkington and Ash Sutton in a tense final race at Thruxton.

The BMW 330e M Sport driver started the reverse grid race from second on the grid and immediately jumped ahead of the slow starting BTC Racing Honda of Jason Pl🎃ato to move into a lead he would never relinquish.

For much of the race, Morgan had multiple 🧜champions Turkington, Sutton 🃏and Plato glued to the rear of his 3 Series, but the Ciceley driver never looked like buckling, despite having to contend with a brief safety car early in the race.

With two-time champioꦅn Plato falling off the track late in the race, the leading quartet turned into a leading trio with Sutton ramping up the pressure on Team BMW's Turkington.

That 🐷perhaps gave Morgan a crucial bit of air as Turkington had to balance attack with defence. Nevertheless, Morgan held his nerve to cross the line 0.5s ahead of Turkington, with Sutton clinching a hatrick of podium finishes in third.

Team Dynamics Honda's Dan Rowbottom was fourth ahead of championship leader Josh Cook in fifth. Cook now enjoys a healthy 23-point lead ahead of defending champion Sutton, while a profitable d൲ay for Turkington has moved the BMW driver up to third in the s♌tandings.

Tom Ingram managed to pick up furthe💝r points on his recovery from his race one woes in sixth, ahead of EXCELR8 Hyundai team mate Dan Lloyd in seventh.

Power Maxed Racing Vauxhall d♍uo Michael Crees and Ash Hand finished eighth and ninth, while Toyota's Rory Butcher completed the top-ten.
