It was an utterly dominant performance on the Indy circuit from Turkington, who destroyed the old qualifying lap record (set by Tom Ingram in a Toyota Avensis in 2016) by almost half a second and recorded no fewer than four laps quicker than anyone else’s best, although the fourth fastest of them was deleted due to a track-limits offence.
Turkington’s West Surrey Racing-run BMW 330e M Sport ended up a gargantuan – by BTCC Brands Indy standards – 0.167 seconds clear of the sister car of Jake Hill.
