04:20The drama premiere.
04:22Dirty Filthy Love.
04:24Tonight at nine.
04:27Sponsored by Green Flag Motoring Assistants.
04:30The Breakdown Specialists.
04:39Deciding weekend here at Donington Park.
04:41Now a dramatic race won for James Thompson extend his championship lead.
04:46But it's not all over yet.
04:48His March rival Ivan Muller is a man on a mission.
04:53It's every man for himself as the penultimate round of the British Touring Car Championship is ready to go around the Donington Park circuit in Leicestershire.
05:02The red lights go off quickly.
05:04And it's a good start from Rob Huff.
05:07And Ivan Muller making a good start coming down the outside.
05:10Thompson's on the grass on the inside.
05:12Who's going to be first into Redgate?
05:14Muller's trying to go around the outside here.
05:16He's into second.
05:17And Tom Chilton is pushed back to third.
05:19Gavin Piper slow away I'm afraid.
05:21But Ivan Muller is into second.
05:23Or is he?
05:24Because the black Honda of the youngster Tom Chilton's right there.
05:27And Chilton's moved into second place now.
05:29Trying to give him space.
05:30And as they head down towards the old hairpin Muller finds himself in third position.
05:34Huff was a bit wide.
05:36Oh and he's very wide.
05:37Huff lost time there.
05:38And Chilton's going to take the lead.
05:40Chilton going side by side with Huff.
05:42And Muller's watching this wondering where to go next.
05:44Well great start. Chilton's made up for a slightly poor start by getting back past Muller.
05:49Muller on the inside of Huff as well.
05:51Huff's going to lose out to Dan Eves as well and go down to fourth place.
05:54So at the moment Chilton leads from a brilliant start from Muller and Eves looking very pacey.
06:00Rob Huff what's going wrong?
06:01And look at James Thompson was a little bit behind that.
06:04As Muller now tries to squeeze out Dan Eves.
06:06Oh he doesn't want the Honda going past but there's nothing he can do.
06:09It's a Honda 1-2 as they come down towards the chicane.
06:12And look behind them.
06:14Luke Hines next up in fourth place.
06:16Muller's back down to third.
06:18He could not prevent Dan Eves coming through.
06:20And Eves.
06:21Oh and a spin right in front of Thompson.
06:23Thompson goes to the inside.
06:25Oh he just missed his teammate Luke Hines.
06:28I think he missed him.
06:29I think Thompson got away with that.
06:31And Muller's going in there for second.
06:33Back into second goes the Frenchman.
06:35Dan Eves pushed to third.
06:38Look at Dan Eves.
06:39He's hit Muller.
06:40And Muller.
06:41Dan Eves has hit Ivan Muller for second.
06:43And he goes through in a second.
06:45Muller will be fuming about that.
06:47It was hardly a gap but Dan Eves went for it.
06:49And Muller of course fighting for the championship.
06:52He'll be furious I'm sure with that.
06:54But he's in third place.
06:56Well he wouldn't know that he was furious.
06:58A quick glance in the mirror.
06:59But that nearly went badly wrong for him.
07:03Dan Eves looking up the inside here.
07:05Well there was no gap there at all.
07:07And he's hit Muller really almost before the corner.
07:10And Muller with great car control has managed to save it.
07:13But if the positions finish the way they are at the moment.
07:17It may well be that Dan Eves gets a small time penalty to reverse those positions.
07:21But Muller's not finished with it yet.
07:23Bentwood just dropping back there.
07:25I'm not sure what happened to Michael Bentwood as he came out of the chicane.
07:28Into trouble though.
07:29He's dropped a couple of places as a result.
07:31James Kaye's come up to ninth.
07:33Rob Collard in tenth.
07:34But we're back on board with Thompson.
07:36He's running in seventh position.
07:37Anthony Reid is in sixth.
07:39Jason Plato in fifth.
07:40And the Marshalls taking their lives into their hands.
07:42Trying to clear those cones out of the way.
07:44Reid a bit wide into the old hairpin.
07:47This could give James Thompson a chance to get the run on him.
07:50And up the hill they go.
07:51And Plato still at the front of this group.
07:54Rob Huff at the back.
07:55He's in eighth.
07:56Thompson is still in seventh.
07:57And here we are riding on board with James.
07:59As Plato goes to the inside.
08:01And Reid has a little think about getting down the inside of Plato there.
08:05And that's a move from Reid.
08:06He squeezes Plato out.
08:08And Thompson's going to try and follow him as they come down the hill.
08:11Towards the crane of curves.
08:12He has done.
08:13He's also got past Plato.
08:14Well there's a bit of a surprise.
08:15That's great touring car racing.
08:17Reid sees the opportunity.
08:19He knows that Plato's car is heavy with the ballast.
08:22Sees the opportunity to dive up the inside.
08:24Thompson saw it coming.
08:26Positioned his car well to take advantage on the exit.
08:28And that's good, good dicing.
08:30Once again as we saw in race one.
08:32Somebody has managed to make the break out in front.
08:34In race one it was Plato.
08:36But in race two it would seem to be this man.
08:38Tom Chilton.
08:39The youngster with the Honda.
08:41And look how far ahead of Dan Yves he is in second and Muller in third.
08:44Now what's going on here?
08:47Muller has got ahead of Dan Yves.
08:50So Muller has got into second position.
08:53And he's now chasing after Tom Chilton.
08:55Valuable points there for Ivan Muller gained by going into second.
08:59Well here's the pass.
09:02It's coming up through Coppice and Dan Yves runs wide.
09:06Muller just gets excellent drive along the inside and drives past him.
09:11Oh and that's Bedwood.
09:13Bedwood in trouble.
09:14And so he was running just outside the top ten.
09:17He's got a punctured right rear.
09:19He looks as though he's out.
09:20Oh again.
09:21Huff is really struggling here and Collard now.
09:23As they come out of the old hairpin.
09:25Collard wasn't impressed with Huff in the other race earlier on today.
09:29And he's not prepared to take any prisoners here.
09:32So he's past Rob Huff who ran a little bit wide.
09:35Oh and Kay now.
09:37Clouts Huff pretty hard.
09:38And Huff's definitely in the wars.
09:40Well Huff had enough oversteer on his own without that shove from James Kay up the back.
09:45And he was really struggling and now he's lost another position to Heinz.
09:52They're going to take it to the wire.
09:53It will all come down to the third race.
09:56The final race of the British Touring Car Championship.
09:59But Tom Chilton.
10:00Can he hold on here for his second win of the season?
10:04He became the youngest ever winner of a British Touring Car race earlier on this year at Silverstone.
10:09And driving the Honda.
10:11He is going to hold on I think.
10:13Muller surely not close enough.
10:15They come out of the chicane.
10:16And it's going to be Tom Chilton who wins the second race here at Donington.
10:20Second place goes to Ivan Muller.
10:22He maintains his championship hopes.
10:24Third goes to Dan Eves in the competition racing with Halford's car.
10:28And then it's Anthony Reid who fends off James Thompson to the line.
10:32Thompson finishes in fifth.
10:33He picks up six points.
10:35But Ivan Muller finishing in second and the fastest lap picked up 13 points.
10:40A fantastic drive by the current champion Ivan Muller sees him close the gap on James Thompson to just six points.
10:47Not forgetting third and fourth in the championship which currently belong to Jason Plato and Anthony Reid.
10:53That's what he was holding up on James today.
