NAPA Racing UK's Dan Cammish has clinched his first British Touring Ca༺r Championship pole position in Ford colours after snatching the top-spo꧑t away from Josh Cook at Thruxton.

With both Cammish and Cook setting a 1'15.3s lap before the halfway mark of the session, there was 𝐆little to choos𝔍e between the duo as the 30-minute shootout neared its conclusion.

Howe﷽ver, with less than five-minutes to go, Cammish produced a sensational lap to dip beneath Cook's benchmark by just 0.017s to secure his first BTCC pole position since joining the Motorbase Performance Ford outfit.

Hav𝔉ing often shown flashes of the form which almost took him to the 2019 BTCC drivers' title, Cammish has endured a so far difficult 2022 campaign, which has often been riddled with bad luck.

BTC Racing's Cook, who has also suffered his fair share of misfortune since leading the early points💧 standings, was unable to respond to Cammish's last gasp flyer.

ROKiT MB Motorsport's Jake🔜 Hill was BMW's best placed driver in third position, with championship leader Colin Turkington enduring a miserable ses🤪sion in 15th position.

Hill shares the front-row with defending champion Ash Sutton in fourth position. In the dying minutes of the session, Sutton looked on course to threaten Cammish's pole-time after the Ford Fo💟cus driver set the quickest second se⭕ctor.

However, just moments later, Sutton slipped off the circuit on the exit of Church corne♊r, putting an end to any hope of usurping his NAPA Racing team mate.

FP2 pacesetter Gordon Shedden couldn't quite replicate his p🍌ractice form and settled for fifth ahead of an impressive team performance fro✃m Power Maxed Racing Vauxhall duo Ash Hand and Michael Crees in sixth and seventh.

Da💝n Rowbottom set the eighth fastest ti꧂me qualifying aboard his Team Dynamics Honda Civic Type-R, while Tom Chilton and Ricky Collard completed the remainder of the top-ten in ninth and tenth.

Elsewhere, two-time ♛champion Jason Plato missed on the top-ten b🔥y the closest margin possible after setting an identical time to Collard in tenth.

Surprisingly, title contenders Tom Ingram an🐻d Colin Turkington could fare no better than 13th and 15th.
