Rowbottom started the reverse grid race from fifth on the grid and charged to his second career BTCC victory aꦛfter passing long-term leader Adam Morgan on lap ten of the race.

♎Up until Rowbottom's race winning move, Morgan led every lap from pole position, and even enjoyed a comfortable 2.2s lead as the remainder of the podium positions swapped and changed during the opening half of the r𒈔ace.

However, having moved past the One Motorsport Honda of Aiden Moffat on lap five, Rowbottom unleashed the full performance of the potent NAPA Racing Ford Focus and caught the race leading BMW to tune of almost 0.𝔍7s per lap.

By lap nine, Rowbottom latched onto the rear of Morgan's BMW 330e M Spo♏rt before using his hybrid to blast past the race leader just one lap later on the approach to the infamous Church corner.

Rowbottom quickly accelerated away to assemble a 2.7s winning mar🌳gin ahea💃d of Morgan in second.

Moffat held on to clinch his first podium finish of the season in third, a💙fter resisting lap-after-lap of pressure from four-time champion Colin Turkington.

Toyota Gazoo Racing U🍨K's Ricky Collard also found himself in contention to climb onto the podium, but was unable to find a way past Team BMW's Turkington.

Aron Taylor-Smith posted another strong result for the Power Maxed Racing squad in sixthไ, aꩲhead of Toyota's Rory Butcher in seventh.

Dan Cammish, Tom Ingram and Jake Hill completed the remainder of the top-ten in♌ eight𝄹h, ninth and tenth.
