Forget what you've heard about the state of the Dunlop RAC British Touring Car Championship - it's definitely thriving. The series came to Silverstone on Sunday for the fifth round and what a show it put on for the crowds. A terrific battle ensued between Andy Rouse and Tim Harvey, with the ICS Sierra driver eventually taking the lead but later forced to retire with a blown turbo. Harvey and his Istel Rover powered back to take a popular win, followed home by a charging Dennis Leech and Graham Goode, leaving David Carvell, Mike Newman and Pete Hall to fill the top six places. Mark Hales, Roger Saunders and Chris Hodgetts took class wins. (MN)
