It was a successful weekend for BMW at the British Touring Car Championship’s (BTCC) weekend in Oulton Park. Andy Priaulx qualified his BMW 125i M Sport in third place for the first race. Priaulx liked third so much, he ended up finishing race one in that same spot, securing a place on the podium. In the second race of the weekend, Priaulx finished 15th before retiring in round three.

His team-mate, Sam Tordoff, delivered a stunning performance in the third race and took the win in the short 15 lap race. In the previous races he had finished ninth and fifth.
