The official BTCC website caught up with reigning Champion Colin Turkington to discuss his aims for the 2020 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship.

“I’m just hungry to get out and get driving again," said the Northern-Irishman. "That’s the bit that we all love. Obviously last year was the first season with the new [BMW 3 Series] so I’m looking forward to having some testing pre-season and seeing if we can understand the car a bit more; trying to fine-tune it, trying to make it faster and better.

"Obviously the competition will rise again, I won last season but only by the skin of my teeth. I finished two points ahead of both Dan Cammish and Andrew Jordan so it was so so close at the end; the margins between winning and losing are very fine. I know how hard I’ll have to work to do it all again. And it was so important for us to have some time off to get a break and build up the energy to go and do it again.”
