Croft BTCC: Colin Turkington doubles up in race two

Colin Turkington continued his fine form by taking his second British Touring Car victory of the weekend at Croft

Unlike in , however, the WSR BMW was not able to immediately run away from the field.

Gordon Shedden's Honda Civic Tourer stayed close for the first half of the race but gradually fell away and crossed the line 6.2 seconds behind his championship rival.

Matt Neal starred as he charged to a podium finish despite completing the first lap in sixth.

The Honda driver made it past Andrew Jordan's Eurotech Honda, then dived by the struggling Triple Eight MG of Jason Plato at Sunny.

He headed off after Rob Collard's BMW in third, making it by with less than five laps to go.

Neal closed on his success ballast-laden team-mate, but still finished 2.6s behind Shedden.

Behind a lonely Jordan in fifth, Plato crossed the line in sixth, but he secured it in controversial style.

After holding a group of cars behind him for a number of laps, Plato had lost out to Neal and Jordan.

He and the BMR VW of Alain Menu eventually broke away from the pack and engaged in a duel for sixth.

On the penultimate lap, Menu made a move down the inside into Clervaux. He appeared to make it by, but the VW's rear was clipped by the MG as Plato turned in, sending Menu into the barriers and out of the race.

Mat Jackson continued his good race form by coming through to seventh, while Tom Ingram took his Speedworks Toyota Avensis through to eighth on the soft Dunlop tyre.

Adam Morgan also impressed, coming through to finish 12th after starting on the 15th row.
