A switch to Toyota Gazoo Racing UK proved to be one of the major headlines during the off-season as Rory Butcher secured the first manufacturer drive in his BTCC career.

Consistency initially proved hard to come by for the Scotsman as he acclimatised to new machinery, but his first win impressively came at Oulton Park in July.

A near perfect weekend at Silverstone towards the end of the campaign, where he claimed pole position and two wins, helped Butcher to take seventh in the overall standings.
