After topping the timesheets in FP1, BMW's Jake Hill looked on course to repeat the same feat duringꦬ FP2 until the two Power Maxed Racing 💧Vauxhall Astras knocked Hill from his perch during the final minutes of the session.

Taylor-Smith was the first of the Astras to bolt to the top of the timesheets before Watson went quickest of all after producing a 57.633s lap as ✅the chequered flag fell.

Defending champion Tꦫom Ingram knocked Hill's Laser Tools Racing BMW a position further down the pecking order after the Hyundai set his quickest lap of the weekendꦓ so far with a 57.765s effort.

Despite slippiඣng down to an eventual fourth, Hill's best lap set during FP1 (57.622s) still remains the quickest lapꩲ of the weekend thus far.

EXCELR8 Hyundai🌱's Ronan Pearson made a late charge t🤪o finish fifth in the FP2 timesheets ahead of four-time BTCC champion Colin Turkington in sixth.

Throughout each of his runs, Turkington produced a sequence of ultra-consisওtent laps, but always remained marginally off the ultimate pace.

Mikey Doble ensured all three Power Maxed Racing Vauxhall Astras made the top-ten order💯 in seventh, while Dan Cammish, Rory Butcher and Adam Morgan completed the remaind🦄er of the top-ten in eighth, ninth and tenth.

Elsewhere, runaway points leader Ash Sutton couldꦏ only manage the 21st fastest time with a 58.269s lap.
