Race 3 - Results
Frank Wrathall has taken victory in today’s third Dunlop MSA British Touring Car race at Brands Hatch – his first victory in the championship.
Wrathall took over at the front after a couple of laps when earlier leader Mat Jackson’s Redstone Racing Ford Focus slowed.
The Lancashire driver then cruised to the first race win in the BTCC for himself, his Dynojet team and its Toyota Avensis. It's the first win for a Toyota in a BTCC race since Julian Bailey triumphed at Knockhill in 1993.
Finishing second, third and fourth and crossing the line abreast were the three Honda Civics of factory Yuasa-backed pair Matt Neal and newly-crowned Champion Gordon Shedden and Pirtek Racing’s Andrew Jordan.
Jordan’s fourth place is enough to give Pirtek Racing the Independent teams’ title. Jordan had earlier also wrapped up the Independent Drivers Championship.
