Jake Hill stripped of maiden victory for race three contact, Stephen Jelley inherits win

Trade Price Cars Racing’s Jake Hill has been stripped of his maiden British Touring Car championship victory in race three at Oulton Park after he received a penalty for contact with Matt Neal at Old Hall Corner.

The 20-second penalty promotes Stephen Jelley to his first victory in just under ten years, while Hill drops to 15th position as a result.

After starting the race from reverse-grid pole, Hill led the opening laps before facing pressure from Neal, who eventually cutback at Lodge and made the move into Old Hall Corner on the start of lap three.

On the exit, Hill clipped the rear of the Honda Civic and sent it into a high-speed spin, with many drivers forced to take avoiding action in the ensuing smokescreen.

Neal would go on to finish the race 12th, but was eventually classified 11th once the penalty was applied.

Jelley’s victory marks his first since Rockingham 2009 at the wheel of a BMW 320si.
