Halfords Yuasa Racing’s Dan Cammish was again quickest in the second British Touring Car Championship session at Thruxton, continuing his momentum after topping the earlier session.
The 2019 runner-up was exactly six tenths clear of closest rival Senna Proctor in the Excelr8 Motorsport Hyundai, despite the former not improving on his time from first practice this morning.
Cammish set his benchmark pace in the first half of the 40-minute session, opting not to complete much representative running thereafter to save on his tyre allocation for the weekend.
Oulton Park race three winner Adam Morgan was another who continued his practice form in his Ciceley Motorsport Mercedes-Benz A-Class, placing in third just over a tenth-and-a-half behind Proctor at the end of the session.
Triple champion Matt Neal was over three-quarters-of-a-second adrift of his team-mate’s pace-setting lap, but would place fourth in what was an uncharacteristically spread out top five.
Reigning champion Colin Turkington was next in his BMW 330i M Sport, with the current standings leader producing a lap just fractionally over a second off of Cammish’s pace as he carried maximum success ballast aboard his machine.
An impressive performance from Michael Crees saw him finish the session in sixth for BTC Racing, ahead of the second of the Hyundai i30 Fastback N’s with Chris Smiley behind in seventh.
2018 runner-up Tom Ingram was eighth in his Toyota Corolla, marginally ahead of the BTC Racing duo of Tom Chilton and Josh Cook in ninth and tenth positions respectively.
Stephen Jelley was the first runner outside of the top ten in his Team Parker Racing BMW 1 Series, while Rory Butcher was again unable to break into the top ten in similar fashion to fellow title rival Ash Sutton in 16th.
Series returnee Rob Austin was 13th in the Power Maxed Racing Vauxhall Astra, with Tom Oliphant and Jake Hill rounding out the top 15.
Next up for the British Touring Car Championship at Thruxton is qualifying, with the half-hour session scheduled to get underway at 15:20 BST.
