Race 2: Chilton's joy

Tom Chilton took his second victory of the season in race two at Donington Park on Sunday holding off a fast-charging Yvan Muller (Vauxhall). The Honda driver started from pole after his 10th place in race one with Muller the only driver capable of spoiling the youngster's fun

"I made an amazing start, I love this game!" a joyous Chilton exclaimed. "I have one race left, obviously on pole, but it's going to be hard with 60kg of ballast."

Before Chilton was in his sights, Muller had to dispense of Dan Eaves, who got past the Frenchman earlier in the race. That done he could focus his efforts on Chilton, but it was too late to take the young charger despite setting a string of fastest laps.

The battle for fourth was equally exciting with Anthony Reid and James Thompson battling it out. Thompson - who had points added to his licence and a fine after his punting in race one - had to settle for fifth behind the MG driver.

Winner of race one Jason Plato (SEAT) was sixth this time round ahead of Colin Turkington (MG ZS) and Robert Collard (Vauxhall).

Muller has now closed the gap to Thompson to just six points with as tensions build for the final race of the season later today.
