Despite his car carrying maximum success ballast Cammish again led away in race 2, but was passed by Ingram at the end of the lap.

The Honda driver held off championship leader Colin Turkington for several laps before being forced down to third, which turned into a second-place finish when leader Ingram suffered a puncture with just a lap to go. Neal also had a strong race, fighting his way up the field to finish fourth and add to a strong points haul for the Halfords Yuasa Racing team. The reverse grid draw for the final race put Neal and Cammish into sixth and eighth starting spots and at the start Neal initially dropped to seventh and Cammish 10th.

But with six laps down Neal and rival Rory Butcher made contact and Butcher's car was launched into a violent accident.

He escaped unhurt but barrier damage caused the race to be red-flagged. Cammish made an excellent restart to quickly move ahead of his team-mate into fifth. He then joined a remarkable five-car battle for the lead that lasted for the rest of the 12 laps, the Honda man finishing fourth to complete an excellent day and put himself firmly back into the title battle. Neal meanwhile was involved in no less frantic a midfield battle, completing his dramatic race in 11th spot to secure the Teams Award for Halfords Yuasa Racing's performance over the weekend.

Monaco GP Circuit de Monaco. BTCC Feb 24, BTCC Dec 24, Prior to the race start, Plato acknowledged the need to pass Turkington within three laps, and the MG man did just that, putting a stellar move on his Northern Irish rival at Brooklands on the third lap. From then on, Plato eased out a slim lead, building on it in the latter stages once he got into his groove, finishing 1.

Starting on an alternative strategy to his team-mate, Tordoff selected the soft option tyres in the first race. Race two began in increasingly humid conditions at the Northamptonshire circuit, with Plato on pole and Tordoff fourth. Similar to the first race, Turkington leapt into the lead at Copse, with Plato shuffling in behind, biding his time for an opportunity to pass.

Tordoff dropped two places off the start and allowed Alain Menu and Rob Collard to pass, dropping the year-old to sixth. Learning from the previous race, Plato got his head down earlier and delivered a smooth and consistent succession of laps to build a buffer and take his 87 BTCC victory, his second of the day, his thirteen podium appearance of the season. A red flag brought the race to a premature close, with both MG drivers in the mix to benefit from the reverse grid draw.

The third race of the weekend was atmospherically cooler, but the action on track was red hot.
