Rory Butcher inherits race three win as Tom Chilton penalised

Rory Butcher has secured his maiden win in the British Touring Car Championship after Tom Chilton was hit with a penalty after the final race at Brands Hatch.

Chilton had crossed the line first to secure honours in his Motorbase-run Ford Focus but was then deemed to be at fault for an incident involving Matt Neal as the pair diced for the lead of the race, with contact at Clearways as Chilton made his move for position.

Having looked into the incident, Chilton was hit with a five second time penalty, which drops him down to second place in the results behind Butcher.

Butcher had secured his personal best result with second place, which also matched the best result to date for the Cobra Sport AmD team.

The amended result means a first victory for both team and driver as a result.
