With just 27-points covering the top-four title contenders, currently led by defending💖 champion Ash Sutton with a slender five-point margin, the final weekend of this season's title race should prove to be one of the closest championship climaxes on record.

Ingram, currently sitting third in the standings, just seven-points adrift of Sutton, looked on course to begin his weekend in perfect fashion after the EXCELR8 Motorsport Hyundai dr🔯iver led the timesheets with just seconds of the opening session to go.

However,❀ a last-gasp effort from Cammish saw the Ford Focus driver beat Ingram's time by just 0.019s around the Grand Prix layout.

Cammish, no doubt, will have an important role to play during this weekend's title fight as the rear-gunner of h๊is NAPA Racing UK team mate Sutton, who is vyi𒈔ng to draw level with Colin Turkington and Andy Rouse on four BTCC drivers' titles.

Fresh off the back of his first win of the season last time out at Silverstone, Toyota G𒐪azoo Racing UK's Rory Buꦓtcher set the third fastest time ahead of Sutton in fourth.

Three-time champion Gordon Shedden was fifth fastest ahead of Ricky Collard and Team BMW's Turking🅘ton.

Out oꦫf the four title challengers, Turkington has the most ground to make up 2🦩7-points adrift of Sutton following a disastrous Silverstone meeting.

George Gamble led his Car Gods with Ciceley M🌞otorsport t๊eam mate Adam Morgan in eighth and ninth, while Jake Hill, who is currently Sutton's nearest title rival, ended the opening session in tenth.
