The West Surrey Racing team continued its winning ways in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). On the fifth race weekend of the season, Rob Collard topped the podium in Croft after finishing first in his BMW 125i M Sport. Collard won the second of three races that took place on Sunday.
In the other two races, he finished in seventh and fourth positions respectively. His team-mate, Sam Tordoff, extended his lead in the BTCC championship standings.

The strong performance from West Surrey Racing was completed by Jack Goff, who drove his BMW 125i M Sport to two fourth places, as well as finishing in ninth in the other race.
