Thruxton Pole for Sutton
Laser Tools Racing’s Ash Sutton kicked off his Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship title defence by scoring a hugely impressive pole position at Thruxton today (8 May).
The breathless qualifying session commenced on a wet surface due to persistent rain and high winds, although the conditions gradually improved as the session progressed, which would culminate in a grandstand finish at the high-speed Hampshire venue.
