MB Motorsport's Jake Hill keeps his British Touring Car Championship title hopes alive after winning the reve🅠rse grid race at Silverstone.

The Ford🌺 Focus ST driver started the race from third on the grid, but moved past pole-sitter Dan Lloyd on the tenth lap to register his second race victory in as many week𝓀ends, which keeps him in touch in the championship battle.

After taking advantage 🐼of Jason Plato's sluggish start off the line, Hill stalked Lloyd for much of the first half of the race before striking with a decisive ra🌟ce winning move on the exit of Luffield on lap 10.

Hill's second win of the year means the MB Motorsport driver moves back up to third in the drivers' standings, despite starting the day dow🌜n in 22nd posit🉐ion.

Despit𒉰e losing the lead, Lloyd kept close tabs on the race leading Ford Focus and, at one stage, put Hill's race lead under some degree of peril. However, Hill's pace was enough to keep Llജoyd at arm’s reach.

Reigning champion and current points Ash Sutton further streng🌌thened his advantage at the top of the tab💖le with yet another measured drive to a podium finish in third.

Sutton started the reverse grid race from eighth, but masterfully picked his way through the pack to wind ⛦up just 1.4s off Hill's ra♊ce win.

Thಞe Lase🌳r Tools Racing driver now carries a 36-point lead of Tom Ingram with just two rounds left to play.

Chris Smiley was the last of Sutton's victims in fourth ahead of Team BMW's Stephen Jelley in fifth🀅.

Despite starting from the front row, Power Maxed Racing's Plato eventually fell to sixth ahe♍ad of Aiden Moffat, Colin Turkington, Dan Rowbottom and Ollie Jackson in seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth.
