Tom Chilton wins feisty BTCC Knockhill Race 3

Tom Chilton achieved his first victory of the 2026 British Touring Car Championship during a competitive Race 3 at Knockhill. Starting from pole position, he utilized a soft compound tire to gain an early advantage, while Ash Sutton, who had won Race 2, faced challenges starting from P12 due to a poor qualifying position. The race saw various incidents, including a puncture for Gordon Shedden and a safety car deployment due to Sam Osborne's gravel incident.

Chilton maintained his lead throughout the race, ultimately finishing ahead of Adam Morgan and Dan Cammish, who completed the podium. This win was significant for Chilton, marking his return to the top step since his last victory in 2025. The race featured intense battles among the drivers, with notable performances from several competitors, but ultimately, Chilton's pace secured him the win.
