Car Gods Racing's George Gamble has romped to a maiden British Touring Car Champi🌠onship race victory after dominating the final reverse grid race of the day 🤪at Knockhill.

The BTCC ro🐠okie started the reverse grid encounter from pole position and commanded every lap in the 🐼lead of the race to secure a popular first ever win in the series.

The BMW 330e M Sport driver did come under some degree of pressure during the early stages of the race, but ꧂was able to stretch his lead as the laps progressed after weathering the initial att🦹ack from home hero Rory Butcher.

Despite a couple of near slips during the opening laps, Gamble didn't put a foot wrong as he produced a string of consistent laps while the battle for the r꧅emaining podium positions r🤡aged on behind him.

In the end, Gamble crossed the line over four-seconds ahea♎d of Jake Hill, who finally got the better of Scotsman Butch♉er for second position.

Hill started the race from fifth, but cruised past his West Surrey Racing team Colin Turkington during the lattꦐer stages of the races, with the four-time champion recognising his BMW stablemate had a clear pace advantage.

From there, Hill was able to hunt down Butcher's Toyota Corolla and subsequently jumped up to second at🐠 the expense of the h𝄹ome favourite.

Turkington almost followed his ꧒BMW team mate through and onto the podium, but Butcher hung on to claim a well earned home podium finish in third.
