Honda's Dan Cammish says crashing out of a chamꦕpionship winning position with less than two-laps to go during a dramatic British Touring Car Championship finale at Brands Hatch 'w🅘ill hurt for a while'.

The Team Dynamics driver came within two-laps of claiming a stunning maiden BTCC drivers' crown but suffered heartbreak on the penultimate lap of the race after crashing out of ninth position with brake failure at Hawthorn🧸 corner.

During what proved to be an extraordinar🍒y climax to the 2019 title battle, Cammish went into the finale eight-points🎃 ahead of eventual champion Colin Turkington, whose title charge looked to be all but over following a controversial incident with Cammish's Honda team mate Matt Neal in race two.

A magnificent win from 12th on the grid in race one, coupled with another podium finish with third in r൲ace two, gave Cammish the upper hand heading into round 30, but the 30-year old missed out on the title by just two-points to four-time champion Turkington.

"What do you say? It’s disappointing. There’s nothing bꦓut luck in that. It was brake failure. The only mechanical failure I’ve had in two-years. Testament to Dynamics and how much of a great job they do," said Cammish.

"It just wasn’t to be. It wasn’t my day. The drive in race one was fantastic. It gave me a chance. Something I went to 𓃲bed dreaming about but probably preparing myself for disappointment.

"Race one gave me a shot at it. Race two was great as well and then Colin was so fast in the las💎t one. Much faster than I was. I ha꧋d 42 kilos and he was free of weight.

"It’s just the fastest car on the grid by a chunk. I’m proud to hav🍸e taken it to the wire. Two wins to their twelve👍 kind of shows how dominant they were at a time.

"This will hurt for a while, but we’ll regroup and try and come back stronger. There’s thingsꦓ I can do better and there’s things we can do as a team better.

"We’ll come back swinging."

Leading up to Cammish's dramatic penultimate lap shunꦆt, the 30-year old had been penned in behind the Motorbase Performance Ford Focus of Ollie Jackson, who he had been unable to pass for a series of laps.

Cammish said sitting behind the Ford had cooked the🐭 brakes of his Honda Civic Type R, which led🎃 to the high speed off which ultimately changed the destiny of this season's championship.

"His [Jackson's] softs were 🙈done and I just cooked the brakes behind him," Cammish explained.

"🎶I wasn’t quite fast enough to pass him in the early laps. Sat behind him for too long and cooked th♏e brakes. When I was actually in a position to pass him, I had brake failure.

"That’s in the hands of the Gods that one. I flashed him nu🍌merous times. I really wished he jumped out🀅 of the way and gave me a fighting chance."
