TCR UK title battle heads to Silverstone
The tight three-way battle for the lead of the TCR UK reaches the home of British motorsport this weekend, with i30 N TCR driver Callum Newsham sitting third in the standings, just seven points behind the current leader.

Newsham will be joined on track by his JH Racing team-mate Darron Lewis, while Sam Laidlaw is set to return after making both his series and i30 N TCR at Croft.
