Car Gods Racing's George G🔯amble has romped to a maiden British Touring Car Championship race victory after dominating the final reverse grid race of the day at Knockhill.

The BTCC rookie started the reverse grid encounter from pole🐬 positi𝓡on and commanded every lap in the lead of the race to secure a popular first ever win in the series.

The BMW 330e M Sport driver did come under some degree of pressure during the early stages of the race, but was able to stretch his lead as the laps progressed after weathering🥀 the initial attack from home hero Rory Butcher.

Despite a couple of near slips during the opening l🅰aps, Gamble didn't put a foot wrong as he produced a string of consistent laps while the battle for the remaining podium positions raged on behind him.

In the end, Gamble crossed the line over four-seconds ahead of Jake Hill, who☂ finally got the better of Scotsman Butcher for second ✅position.

Hill started the race from fifth, but cruised past ওhis West Surrey Racing team Colin Turkington during the latter stages of the races, with the four-time champion recognising his BMW stablemate had a clear pace advantage.

From there, Hill was able to hunt down Butcher's Toyota Corolla and subsꦇequently jumped up to second at the expense🌜 of the home favourite.

Turkington almost fo⛦llowed his BMW team mate through and onto the podium, but Butcher hung on to claim a well earned home podium finish in third.
