Three weeks ago, Hill had a solitary UK win to his name in 2023 from his victory at the Goodwood Members’ Meeting in a Ford Capri, but in mid-June, he claimed his first two BTCC successes of the season in his West Surrey Racing BMW.
There were only three race meetings in the UK last weekend, but Super Touring Power allowed several drivers to move up the table – or into it. This includes Lucas Romanek, whose win in the only single-seater race, for Formula Ford 1600, promotes him one spot to eighth.
Among the tin-tops, two more drivers joined Hill in bursting into the top 50 and onto seven wins at Brands. Stuart Waite won three times in Pre ’93 Touring Cars at the wheel of his BMW M3 E36 and moves into 14th position.
One of those was a class win when the Pre ’93s ran alongside the faster Blue Oval Saloons – an overall win in that one would have moved Waite into Hill’s 10th position.
The other is Gary Prebble – the man who claimed a last-gasp victory in the 2020 rankings - won his class in all four outings for the Pre ’03 Touring Cars with his Honda Civic to move into the top 50 in 15th place.
Unusually, Stephen Primett was victorious only once in his class among the Pre ’83 Touring Cars, but that was enough to lift the Ford Escort Mk1 king into the top 50 in equal 46th place.
Bryan Bransom’s duo of Classic Thunder Saloons class wins in his E46-model M3 have put him into the table too, although he’s on the bubble in 50th.
Away from Brands, there were slim pickings elsewhere, although Jonathan Lovell’s brace of victories at Oulton Park continued his ultra-successful season in the Porsche Boxster one-make series – he’s another to move onto seven wins and has risen 28 places to 13th in the table.

All car races in UK and Ireland are included except qualification/repechage, consolation and handicap races. No races in other countries.
Class wins are only counted when there are at least six starters in the class. Only classes divided by car characteristics are included. Classes divided by driver characteristics such as ability, professional status, age, and experience (for example rookie or Pro-Am classes) are not included.
Where there is a tie, overall wins take precedence. Where there is still a tie, the average grid size for a driver’s wins determines the order.
