The 26-year-old Team Hard Cupra Leon driver saw off strong opposition from rookies George Gamble and Ash Hand, at the wheel of Ciceley Motorsport BMW and Power Maxed Racing Vauxhall respectively, to wrap up the JST in the first of the three races at last weekend’s Brands Hatch finale.
The JST is the sub-class for those who, before the season, have never finished on an overall BTCC podium or won the JST title. Previous champions include Ash Sutton (2016), Dan Cammish (2018) and Rory Butcher (2019).
