The 2009 BTCC season came to an end on Sunday at Brands Hatch and congratulations to Team RAC and Colin Turkington for winning the championship for the 1st time.

Colin Turkington-2009 BTCC Champion

Turkington began his touring car career with the MG junior team, Team Atomic Kitten, in the West Surrey Racing preperared ZS, before graduation to the full team along side Anthony Reid and Warren Hughes. He then briefly drove for Vauxhall in the Astra Sporthatch, before coming back to WSR and the ZS, before Team RAC switched to the BMW 320i.

Having been glued to the BTCC this year, both at trackside and thanks to ITV 4′s superb coverage, I’ve loved every minute of the championship and Sunday’s races were no different.

So, well done to Colin-roll on next season!
