Bristol Street Motors with EXCELR8 TradePriceCars.com fought hard on track to maintain its challenge for top honours in the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship at Thruxton last weekend (27/28 August) whilst also securing the Jack Sears Trophy for the first time this year. Lloyd would end up 20th on the grid having lost his fastest lap to track limits, with Butel one spot further back. Lloyd would make up a place on the opening lap and ultimately took the flag in eleventh spot, with Butel and Chilton working their way up to 17th and 18th heading into the final laps. “It’s been a challenging season for me and coming to Thruxton, I’d have been happy if we could take three race finishes without any problems,” added Butel. “We’ve been around the top 20 throughout and when I got into the points in race three, it was a really emotional feeling – and that was before I found out I’d won the Jack Sears Trophy!. “I don’t think we had the ultimate pace but we have scored points in two of the races, which has allowed me to retain a place in the top ten in the standings.
