Mat Jackson has won today’s third Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship race at Brands Hatch.

On a damp but drying track, Jackson took the gamble to fit wet weather tyres all round on his Airwaves BMW. He quickly took the lead and went on to win on his team’s home circuit but he was fortunate as in the closing laps one of his tyres developed a slow puncture.

And he only just held on for the win ahead of Honda Racing Team driver Matt Neal whose slick tyres enabled him to close to within half a second at the end. Neal had come through from 13th on the grid.

Third, forced to give up second to the flying Neal on the final lap, was Jackson’s team mate Steven Kane.

As a result, Neal has moved into the joint championship lead with Jason Plato who failed to finish the race after his Silverline Chevrolet Cruze broke down on the first lap. Kane is up to third with just 17 points covering the top six.
