Rory Butcher completed a stellar end to his 2022 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship campaign with a podium double at Brands Hatch (8/9 October) to secure fifth spot in the overall standings – as Toyota GAZOO Racing UK stablemate Ricky Collard signed off the season by shading a brace of multiple champions. “Five podium finishes from the last six races is a tremendous achievement and shows just what a sweet spot we’ve got the Corolla into. I then didn’t have quite the same feeling in the next one, and once Hill and Turkington began putting me under pressure, I had to adjust my line and the race just got away from me a little bit. “We looked at what we could do better for race three, and we came away with another podium, which was really satisfying. I, unfortunately, got pinged for track limits in qualifying, which cost me 12th on the grid and a much better shot on Sunday, but we came through well in race one.
