And this year’s winner is none other than Northern Ireland’s own Colin Turkington. In what was to be one of the closest races ever, Giovanardi, Turkington and Fifth Gear presenter and racing driver Jason Plato were all vying for the title. Ultimately, it was to be Colin’s day and he won with some style on his final laps, if not by a huge margin.
A big congratulations goes out to Colin from the whole of the Car Articles team, and another congratulations to everyone involved in the BTCC in what has been one of the most exciting seasons for a long time.
Here’s the final scoring of the top three drivers:
Colin Turkington: 275 points
Jason Plato: 270 points
Fabrizio Giovanardi: 266 points
In other news, it’s a great swan song for VX Racing, who having won this year’s Manufacturer/Constructor title are now bowing out of the sport after 20 years participation. Meanwhile, Turkington and Team RAC have won third consecutive Independent Drivers’ and Teams’ crowns respectively.
