Silverline Subaru BMR Racing's Colin Turkington will start the final British Touring Car Championship race day of 2016 on pole position after beating Tom Ingram by 0.006s in a quite remarkable qualifying at Brands H𓂃atch.

The 30-minute shootout had got underway in relatively dry conditions but Aron Smith's dramatic roll around the Gran🅰d Prix loop turned the session on its head following a lengthy red flag delay.

During that delay, the weather turned and the rain began to fall, meaning those who set had already set a dry time within the opening minutes looked to be sittinౠg pretty at the to♑p.

Spee꧃dworks Motorsport's Ingram and Subaru's Jason Plato looked to be the main beneficiaries of the inclement cond☂itions while championship leader Sam Tordoff faced the prospect of qualifying down in 15th.

However, the conditio🤪ns once again took a dramatic turn, which paved the way for Subaru's Turkington to string together a mesmerising sequence of laps.

With the track gripping up lap-by-lap, Turkington eventually post a best effo🐎rt of a 1 minutꦐe 31.838 second lap, just 0.006s ahead of Ingram.

Rob Austin and Plato also threatened but the pair had to settle for the sec🃏ond row in third and fourth.

Hunter Abbott completely an unlikely top-five order ahead of Josh Cook and Jack Goff while it's adva🃏nta🐬ge Gordon Shedden in the title after the reigning champion qualified in eighth, three places ahead of Tordoff in eleventh.
