2026 Summer Championship - Round 5: Race 4 - Touring Car Recap

What a sensational drive from Ian Cowe to take the win in Race 4 tonight! He clawed his way back from P2 in the early laps, holding that position until lap 14. Then, with just three laps to go, he made his move and stormed into the lead, holding it to the chequered flag. Ian finished a comfortable margin ahead, capping off a dominant final stint.

The race was a real battle for the lead throughout. James Weaver started strong, leading the first four laps and regaining the lead on lap 8 after Adam Gammage had snatched it on lap 6. However, James's race was disrupted by a slow lap 13, allowing Adam Gammage back to the front. Adam then held the lead until lap 14, when Ian Cowe took the honours. Adam Gammage also set the fastest lap of the entire race with a blistering 13.84 seconds.

Tim Halstead put in a stellar performance, steadily moving up the order from P7 on lap one to secure a well-deserved third place. He showed great consistency and finished a full lap ahead of Ian Webb in fourth. James Weaver ended up in second, a testament to his pace despite the mid-race challenges.
