Shedden provided the primary challenge to the NAPA duo, finishing just 0.404 seconds behind Cammish to secure the final podium position. Further down the order, Aiden Moffat delivered a solid fourth-place finish for LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing, while WSR demonstrated strong team cohesion with Daryl De Leon and Charles Rainford claiming fifth and sixth positions respectively. The top ten was completed by Dexter Patterson, Ricky Collard, Adam Morgan, and Josh Cook, with gaps suggesting a competitive midfield battle throughout the field.

The victory extends Sutton’s strong start to the 2026 campaign and reinforces NAPA Racing UK’s early-season form following their impressive double podium finish. The team’s ability to secure maximum constructor points demonstrates their potential as championship contenders in the opening rounds. This result formed part of Donington Park’s traditional three-race weekend format.

The BTCC field will now turn attention to the next round of the championship, where Sutton and NAPA Racing UK will aim to maintain their momentum. The competitive nature of the series ensures that maintaining consistency across all three races per weekend remains crucial for championship aspirations.
