Team BMW's Colin Turkington bounced back from his nasty Oulton Park shunt to score a heroic pole position afterꦚ setting the fastest time in British Touring Car Championship qualifying at Croft.

The four-time champion, alongside home favourite Dan Lloyd, was involved in a colossal crash less than♐ two-weeks ago at the previous Oulton Park round, where bot﷽h drivers suffered minor injuries as a result.

However, Turkington defied that setback after the Team BMW driver charged to the top-spot during the latte💞r stages of the 30-minute shootout.

Incredibly, at the point of which Turkington shot to the top of the timesheets, it was Dan Lloyd who occupied prov𝐆isional pole🌄.

Turkington, who is the behind the wheel of his 2019 ch🎃ampionship winning 001 BMW 3 Series chassis, produced a 1.21.468s, which dethroned Lloyd by 0.068s.

Unlike Turkington, Lloyd is using the same chassis that was involved in the heavy Ou🍬lton Park shunt after his EXCELR8 Motorsport squa🌸d were able to rebuild his damaged Hyundai i30N challenger.

Despite sitting on provisional pole after an equally as impressive effort, Lloyd e🗹ventually slipped down to third behi🌠nd Team Dynamics Honda's Dan Rowbottom, who produced a time just 0.027s shy of Turkington's pole time.

A late red-flag with just 46 seconds left on the clock, p🥂revented anyone from spoiling Turkington's and West Surrey Racing's party, following a herculean effort to prepare their 2019 champioꦡnship winning chassis.

Fellow EXCELR8 Mot🌟orsport driv🌃er Tom Ingram joins Rowbottom on the second row in fourth, while Gordon Shedden was fifth fastest in the sister Team Dynamics Honda Civic Type R.

Jake Hill was s💝ixth fastest for the ROKiT MꦕB Motorsport BMW squad, ahead of defending three-time champion Ash Sutton in seventh.

Series veteran Tom Chilton enjoyed his strongest qualifying of the season so far after the Hyundai driver set the eighth fastest time ahead of George Gamble and Aiden Moffat, who both ro👍꧙unded out the top-ten order in ninth and tenth.

Elsewhere, current championship leader Josh Cook endured a disastrous qualifying. The BTC Racin🧸g Honda driver could only manage a time good enough for 20th fastest, two positions behind his two-time champion team mate Jason Plato in 18th.
