Having secured his first pole position of the ye🥀ar in Saturday's qualifying, Cammish converted that pole to his maiden win in Ford colours in superb fashion aft♐er leading every lap ahead of three-time champion Gordon Shedden in second.

Ca🥂mmish produced a perfect launch off the line to initially lead the way ahead of the♈ fast-starting BMW of Jake Hill in second. However, while the Ford driver enjoyed clear air at the head of the field, chaos ensued behind as the battle for second position immediately boiled over.

Looking to reclaim second as quickly as he lost it, BTC Racing Josh Cook's race quickly unravelled after contact with defending champion Ash Sutton at Seagrave corner saw Cook fall down to 14th and out of cꦓontention.

With BMW's Hill also caught up in🌱 the tangle, it was Shedden who picked his way through to second after starting the race from fifth on the g🧸rid.

The first lap also claimed another casualty with Tom Chilton flying across the circuit on the෴ exit Church, ♑relegating the Hyundai runner to a 28th place finish.

All the while, Cammish looked serene in the lead of the race and enjoyed a heal♕thy margin between himself and the chasing Honda of Shedden following that dramatic opening lap.

Cammish was abl♉e to dictate his pace with no one around, while Shedden had to divide his attention between chasing the leading NAPA Racing ๊UK Ford and defending from the sister Focus of Sutton behind him.

W🎶ith Team Dynamics Honda's Shedden unable to provide an answer, Cammish crossed the line for his first win of the year by just over a sec༒ond.

Shedden and Sutton completed the podium order in second and third, while ROKiT MB Motorsport's Hill was a🌺 distant fourth.

Power Maxed Racing's Ash Hand poste🍃d a strong top-five result for the Vauxhall squad in fifth position ahead of Rory Butcher and Dan Rowbottom in sixth and seventh.

Michael Crees followed up his Vauxhall team mate's impressive result in eightꦓh, while title contenders Tom Ingram and Colin Turkington rounded out ཧthe top-ten order in ninth and tenth.

Following the opening race, just 17-points over the top-four title contenders. ꦫTeam BMW's Turkington still leads the way by 14-points ahead of Ingram, but Sutton and Hill have both closed the gap in third and fourth.
