Ander Villarino took victory in the two European NASCAR races at Brands Hatch on Sunday, and extended his lead in the drivers' championship.
Frederic Gabillon took pole and was on his way to his first series career win in the first round, but was hit by Romain Ianetta, and lost him the opportunity to do so.
Following the incident, reigning champion Villarino inherited the position and cruised to another win.
He also won the second race after withstanding pressure from Gabillon in the closing laps. Despite missing out, Gabillion still secured his fourth consecutive second place finish.
As a result of his victory, Villarino has increased his lead on the points' table ahead of Yann Zimmer and Sweden's Freddy Nordström.
The next round will be held on a specially built oval circuit in the French city of Tours.
