Jessica Bäckman on the run down to
Turn 1, but then slid wide on the
greasy track and ran through the
gravel. The Pyro Motorsport Honda Civic
then worked its way through the field
in a bid to keep the fight alive but
Lloyd was pulling away from the pack
on each lap and ended the race with a
16-second gap to take a dominant
lights-to-flag win. Andreas Bäckman
finished second and Finlay Crocker
claimed his second podium finish of the
season in third place. Taylor was fourth
and was quick to congratulate Lloyd on
securing the title.
In Race 2, pole-sitter Carl Swift’s hopes
of a maiden TCR UK race victory were
quickly ended when he was passed by
the JP Racing Honda Civic FK2 of Josh
Price, who’d retired from Race 1 with
fuel pump issues. There were no such
problems for the car in the second race
and Price became the fifth driver to win
a round of the TCR UK series when he
finished the race with an impressive 18-
second advantage. Swift’s challenge
faded as the race went on, allowing his
teammate Stewart Lines to battle first
with Andreas Bäckman and then Dan
Lloyd before the Maximum Motorsport
Cupra driver eventually finished second
to claim his maiden podium finish in
the championship. Lloyd rounded off
his season with third place and yet
another visit to the podium.
The results from two final races of the
season left Lloyd with a 61-point
advantage over Taylor, with Andreas
Bäckman a further 45 points behind in
third place. His sister Jessica finished
the season in fourth place ahead of
Lewis Kent while Stewart Lines, Finlay
Crocker, Carl Swift, Josh Price and
Darelle Wilson completed the top ten.
With WestCoast Racing already having
clinched the Teams’ title, Pyro
Motorsport finished the season as
runner-up ahead of Maximum
Motorsport, Essex and Kent Motorsport
and Verizon Connect Racing.
