ROKiT MB Moto🧔rsport BMW's Jake Hill romped to a convincing British Touring Car Championship pole position after comfortably setting the fastest time in qualifying at Knockhill.

The BMW 330e M Sport driver looked the driver to beat from the very wo💫rd go of the 30-minute qualifying shootout after an early 50.8s effort left him poised to clinch pole.

Having become the first driver to brea꧑k the 51-second barrier this weekend, Hill gradually chipped away at his initial benchmark, before settling for an eventual 50.726s lap around the infamous Scottish venue.

A brief red-flag towards the end of the session reset the clock to five-minutes, which gave t🍰he rest of the field one last 🦄chance to derail Hill's afternoon, but the BMW driver's lap proved too hard to beat.

Defending three-time champion Ash Sutton came closest to spoiling Hill's party in second position. At one point, Sutton dജrew to within 0.076s of Hill's pole-position time.

However,🍨 as Hill extended his advantage, Sutton, who suffered a brief off in the dying moments of the session, was unable to match the BMW's rate of progression.

Nevertheless, during a session which was dominated by RWD machinery, Sutton ဣputs his NAPA Racing UK Ford Focus on the front-row, amidst a near top-six BMW lockout.

Team BMW's🐼 Colin Turkington typically produced a lap when it counted the most to snatch a spot on the inside of the second-row in third ahead of Car Gods Racing's Adam Morgan in fourth.

Stephen Jelley very briefly moved 𒅌ahead of his four-time champion team mate Turkington during the final minutes of the session, but fell back do🔯wn to fifth ahead of George Gamble in sixth.

𝄹As virtue of a dominant display from the BMW contingent, Toyota Gazoo Racing UK's Rory Butcher was next best ♈placed FWD runner in seventh position, ahead of championship leader Tom Ingram in eighth.

Local hero Aiden Moffat and NAPA Racing UK's Dan Cammis♌h completed the remainder of the top-ten in ninth ✤and tenth.
