Tom Oliphant tops tight opening practice at Silverstone

Ciceley Motorsport’s Tom Oliphant set the pace in a tight opening practice session at Silverstone, heading Team HARD’s Mike Bushell for the majority of the session.

Oliphant went fastest around 15 minutes into free practice one with a time of 58.474s, and held on to the top spot by 0.042s from Bushell.

Rob Austin was third fastest in his Alfa Romeo Giulietta, ahead of BMW Pirtek Racing’s Andrew Jordan by just two thousandths of a second.

WIX Racing with Eurotech’s Brett Smith completed the top five, with stablemate Jack Goff’s Honda Civic Type R just behind him.

Dan Cammish was seventh in the first of the Halfords Yuasa Racing Hondas, ahead of double champion Jason Plato in eighth position, the fastest of the Subarus.

Josh Cook placed ninth with an effort later in the session, with Aiden Moffat rounding out the top ten.

Championship challenger Tom Ingram finished 12th in his Speedworks Motorsport Toyota, while standings leader Colin Turkington could only manage 19th.

Defending champion Ash Sutton was 17th, just behind Ricky Collard, who continues to substitute for his father in the Team BMW seat.

Matt Simpson, who reverted back to running his own car at Knockhill, completed the most laps of any runner in the session, with 30 tours of the 1.639-mile national layout.

The second free practice session is set to get underway at 12:05.
