Turkington: ‘I won’t give up the fight’

Double champion Colin Turkington heaped praise on his team for this season's turnaround and has vowed to give it his all this weekend as both he and Silverline Subaru BMR Racing team-mate Jason Plato remain in contention to win the 2016 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship.

The team has enjoyed a fine run of form since its withdrawal on safety grounds from race day at Thruxton back in May, with the 2014 BTCC title winner leading that resurgence. Three victories, starting with top spot at the very next round from Oulton Park have capped eight visits so far to the podium.

With the final three rounds of the campaign still to come this weekend at Brands Hatch, the Irishman's form has seen him close to within 37 points of standings leader Sam Tordoff, despite a best of only 10th from the first three events on the calendar.

Turkington has been there and done it before, and he knows there's still time for everything to change come the final chequered flag is waved on Sunday evening.

"I’m aiming to build on what we've got and I won't give up the fight until I've crossed the line on the final lap of the final race," said Turkington.

"Although I’m regarded as an outside contender for the title, it's still pretty impressive that we are involved in the season showdown.  Even in a ‘normal’ Championship year to arrive at Brands with a shout of the crown is always the goal.

"To achieve that in our first season with the Subaru is a great reward for everyone involved.  We have all worked incredibly hard and put everything into this project.  To be in the Championship fight despite the challenges we faced early on is amazing.

"It was only six months ago at Brands Hatch that my car turned a wheel for the first time so to return there as a Championship contender is an enormous confidence boost.

"Brands GP should suit our car and it's the track that holds the most special memories for me, having won my first race there and clinched both my championships."

Season Finale Preview: Super 8

Record eight drivers in contention to lift BTCC title at Brands Hatch

An unprecedented number of drivers remain in contention to win the 2016 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship as the grand finale approaches at Brands Hatch next weekend (1/2 October).

A record 12 drivers have won races in this unforgettable BTCC campaign so far, and eight of those tin-top stars still have a chance of claiming the most coveted prize in British motor sport.

West Surrey Racing’s Sam Tordoff currently leads the way but he faces a challenge from a number of deadly duos, plus his own team-mate Rob Collard. Honda’s partnership of Gordon Shedden and Matt Neal have been there before, as have Subaru’s Colin Turkington and Jason Plato, whilst Motorbase Performance’s combination of Mat Jackson and Andrew Jordan have fast become one of the most talented line-ups in the series.

The legendary Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit is set to play host to three unmissable races, which will determine the outcome to one of the hardest-fought championships in history. A huge crowd is expected to descend on the hallowed Kent venue, with many, many more watching every second live and exclusively on ITV4.

The destination of the title remains unknown, with a ‘Super 8’ in contention, but only one can become the 2016 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Champion.

Story so far: Record-tumbling race for the title
All the talk going into the penultimate event at Silverstone was of the record dozen race winners in the 2016 season, but attention soon turned to the incredible climax in prospect for the pursuit of this year’s title.

Team JCT600 with GardX driver Sam Tordoff currently holds the advantage by 11 points, with Halfords Yuasa Racing’s Gordon Shedden and Matt Neal snapping at his wheels. Tordoff’s team-mate Rob Collard has quietly gone about his business in recent months and is nicely poised to scoop a first title, but he has to claw back 17 points on his fellow BMW racer.

Following the BMW and Honda pairings in Noah’s Ark fashion in the standings are Motorbase team-mates Mat Jackson and Andrew Jordan and Silverline Subaru BMR Racing drivers Colin Turkington and Jason Plato. The latter three all have prior experience of clinching the crown, while Jackson has been a consistent front-runner for the best part of a decade but has yet to lift the ultimate laurels.

Between them, Tordoff’s pursuers can count a total of ten outright BTCC titles to their credit, but if the Yorkshireman is feeling the heat, he is refusing to let it show.

“The gap is a nice little cushion, but it’s not as big as I wish it was! It’s 11 points, though, and people have got to catch me,” said Tordoff. “Having eight drivers in with a chance of winning the championship is great for the BTCC and everyone involved. A lot of the drivers behind me have done it before and everyone expects them to win it, so the pressure is on those guys as far as I’m concerned.

“The Brands Hatch GP circuit is my favourite track and I’m not just saying that! The place is steeped in history, with great undulations and some really fast blind corners – it’s a real drivers’ circuit and it’s great for fans too. I love it and we’ve gone well there in the past, so let’s hope we can do so again next weekend.

“I’m quite chilled about everything as I don’t really feel the pressure. Whatever happens, it has been my best season to date – I’ve got 20 years on some of these guys so there’s plenty of life in me yet.

“I’ve got some of the best touring car drivers in the world chasing me down so it’s going to be incredibly tough. It will be difficult to watch, I’m sure, for my friends and family but I’ve got the best seat in the house and destiny in my own hands – I’m really looking forward to it.”

Timetable and Tickets
The final three BTCC contests of the 2016 season will take place at Brands Hatch, with the entire race day broadcast live and in high definition on ITV4.

In addition to the three high-drama BTCC showdowns, there's also a packed support package, with titles to be decided amongst the Porsche Carrera Cup GB, Renault UK Clio Cup, Ginetta GT Supercup, Ginetta Juniors and British F4 categories.

BTCC to recognise top performing engineer

The Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship has introduced a new annual award to its prestigious portfolio.

The ‘BTCC Engineer of the Year’ award will recognise the achievement of the Chief Engineer behind the Championship winning car.

An impressive carbon fibre, machined alloy and laser engraved trophy is being designed, produced and donated by BTCC technical partner, S.P.A. Design, and will be awarded to the inaugural winner at the TOCA Awards which will be held at Heythrop Park in Oxfordshire on 26 November.

BTCC Series Director, Alan Gow, said: “I'm delighted to introduce this new award for 2016 and beyond. Whilst drivers and teams are recognised through the extensive titles on offer in the BTCC, I felt it was right to also acknowledge the great work of the top performing chief engineer. Motor racing isn’t just about the driver, it's a team sport and the chief engineer's role is absolutely key in providing a winning car.

“The BTCC, as the pinnacle of British motor sport, boasts engineers of the highest calibre. This award will hopefully go to also serve as an inspiration to those involved and motivate them to continue developing and innovating further. We look forward to awarding the ‘BTCC Engineer Of The Year’ - and, given how incredibly closely fought the BTCC is this year, whoever wins this award will have richly deserved it.”

Dunlop #ForeverForward: Turkington on top at Silverstone

Silverline Subaru BMR Racing's double champion Colin Turkington took the latest Dunlop #ForeverForward honours with 26 points gained over the Silverstone weekend – the penultimate event on the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship calendar.

Team JCT600 with GardX's Rob Collard retains the overall lead – some 30 points clear of nearest rival Handy Motorsport man Rob Austin. With Collard's Saturday form not his strongest suit – by his own admission – and his eye for a pass come Sunday's races, he'll be difficult to surpass as the competition draws towards its conclusion.

Top of the Independents' tally was Team BKR's Mark Howard, who enjoyed what was undoubtedly the best race weekend to date of his maiden BTCC campaign.

The Leicestershire racer scythed through the field in race one from 30th on the grid to finish 16th, only missing out on a first haul of points by one spot. Gaining 14 places in a single round is no mean feat given the spread of the top 22 drivers on the grid was just one second over a single lap of the Silverstone National circuit, as evidenced by Saturday's close-run qualifying session.

Race two would prove the only cloud to a day of silver linings for the 'Silver Fox Racing' man. He once again produced a spirited drive in steering his BKR VW CC through the pack in race three, eventually climbing from 28th to an encouraging 19th position.

Turkington's round-topping performance largely came down to the pre-race one third strike penalty that saw him demoted to P29 on the grid. He wasted no time in tearing through the field in the Team BMR-backed Subaru Levorg, amassing a stunning total of 21 positions gained.

With only the Brands Hatch finale remaining, the results and standings are as follows – Rob Collard holds a commanding lead at the top of the overall standings:

Dunlop #ForeverForward drivers of the weekend

1 Colin Turkington 26
2 Josh Cook 24
3 Mark Howard 23

Olympian Emms' motor sport education

World champion athlete and silver medal Olympian Gail Emms MBE made her first visit to a motor sport paddock at this past weekend's Dunlop MSA Touring Car Championship event from Silverstone, as she looks to encourage young people into sport and develop a knowledge of what makes racing drivers tick.

The former Badminton star racked up a World Championship win in 2006, European Championship victories in 2004 and 2006, Commonwealth Games golds in 2002 and 2006 as well as her Olympic silver medal in Athens back in 2004, so she knows a thing or two about what mentality is required when it comes to competing at the very top.

Emms got herself in and amongst all of the action in the paddock, speaking to drivers and teams up and down the pit lane and was left impressed by her maiden motor racing experience.

"Even though I’m new to motor sport, I’ve loved it. Sport brings people together and it’s an emotional rollercoaster," said Emms. "We love the highs and hate the lows but it makes you want to strive to achieve. Seeing it first hand, it’s exceeding my expectations.

"Part of me was saying ‘I’m a sports purist’ but being here seeing the whole team environment has just been absolutely incredible. Looking around and seeing the enjoyment on people’s faces, where else would you possibly want to be?

"What’s fascinating to me standing right in the pitlane and seeing the team behind you. I used to have maybe five or six people cheering me on – the physios and the coaches – but look at all the mechanics and engineers. They’ve all got a real passion to see someone go out in the car and reach their full potential. It’s fantastic.

"I think this is the start of my motor sport education basically. It’s funny how motor sports and some other sports don’t really tend to mix. Since I’ve retired, I’ve realised the similarities between an athlete, whether it’s a badminton player or athletics or if you’re a racing driver – what you go through in sport is pretty much exactly the same.

"There’s that expectation, the adrenaline and I’m massively interested in that transition from being in an elite sport environment to what happens out of it. I’m here to get an idea of what this world is about and to try and understand it a bit more.

Having retired from badminton, Emms hope to use the experience gained at the top of her game to encourage people to follow their passion, inspire kids into sport and more girls into motor sport.

"I love the psychology and the mindset of being an athlete but I also want to inspire kids to want to be the best at something. If they’ve got passion for something, they should go for it. I’d also love there to be more girls in motor sport as well. I’m keeping my eye out and looking, as a female who achieved in sport, at being able to say 'no matter your passion, then go for it'.

"Professional sport is all about those marginal gains. You’re looking for those one percents to try and be the best basically. You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t have that real drive and desire to want to get better and better. You learn after each match or each race and think about where you can improve."

Matt Neal – 600 up

Matt Neal made his 600th Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship start this past weekend at Silverstone and spoke to btcc.net on his incredible milestone before all the action unfolded.

Eight drivers set for BTCC title showdown

Sam Tordoff holds standings advantage after Silverstone action

A thrilling win for reigning champion Gordon Shedden rounded out the action at Silverstone on Sunday (18 September), setting up an incredible eight-driver showdown for the 2016 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship.

An unprecedented number of drivers will challenge for the title on finals day at Brands Hatch in two weeks’ time, with Team JCT600 with GardX’s Sam Tordoff currently holding the advantage by 11 points.

The drama at Silverstone commenced in typically frenetic fashion with Tom Ingram claiming the opener, following a post-race exclusion for Ash Sutton and Josh Cook due to a technical infringement.

Both MG Racing RCIB Insurance drivers had to fight back from minor setbacks off the line, with Sutton losing P1 to Ingram and Cook being demoted down to fourth by Andrew Jordan’s Pirtek Racing Ford Focus.

Slight contact between Cook and Jordan followed on lap four and the MG6 was back through into third.

Sutton was by Ingram for the lead at the start of lap eight and Cook was soon joining them in the scrap. Cook got into Ingram’s Toyota at Maggotts four tours later and despite a valiant effort from the Speedworks man, it was the MG pairing that assumed control for the remainder of the race.

Post-race, however, both MGs were excluded from the result due to their rear wings being outside of the permitted tolerance. This handed victory to Ingram, although MG Racing RCIB Insurance has appealed the Cook decision, which will be heard at a later date. Subsequently, Jordan and Handy Motorsport’s Rob Austin inherited the remaining podium positions.

Motorbase Performance driver Jordan kept his championship chances alive with victory in race two, after fending off the attentions of Adam Morgan and Speedworks Motorsport’s Ingram.

The 2013 champion started on the front row and initially hounded Ingram’s Toyota Avensis, before storming down the inside going into Becketts on lap seven.

Morgan’s WIX Racing Mercedes nipped into second as Ingram’s pace faded, but he wasn’t able to trouble Jordan’s Pirtek-backed Ford for the win.

West Surrey Racing’s Rob Collard blasted his BMW 125i M Sport into the lead off the line in the final race, as his rear-wheel drive machine launched past Shedden’s Honda Civic Type R on the run down to turn one.

Shedden would not be denied, however, as the Halfords Yuasa Racing man produced a stunning move on the second lap. As Collard braked into Maggotts, Shedden stormed around the outside and back into the lead. He went on to extend his advantage and claim his fourth win of the season.

Motorbase’s Mat Jackson relegated Collard further down the order on lap three, but the latter was able to stem the flow thereafter and make the podium.

With just one event and three highly-anticipated BTCC races remaining this season, it is Tordoff leading the standings from the Honda duo of Shedden and Matt Neal. Incredibly Collard, Jackson, Jordan plus the Subarus of Colin Turkington and Jason Plato all remain in contention to claim the most coveted prize in British motor sport. Just 37 points separate the top seven with 67 still on offer at Brands Hatch.

West Surrey Racing/BMW continues to lead the Manufacturers’/Constructors’ standings, whilst Team JCT600 with GardX recaptured top spot in the Teams’ table.

Jordan cemented his position at the head of the Independents Drivers’ classification, and Motorbase Performance holds an unassailable points lead in the Independents Teams’ order.

Michael Epps was the Jack Sears Trophy winner at Silverstone, although Sutton is still in charge of the category’s proceedings.

Rounds 28, 29 and 30 of the 2016 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship will take place at the legendary Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit on 1/2 October.

Championship Leader

Sam Tordoff said: “From the off here we’ve had problems, so to come away having extended our lead from five points to 11 is quite frankly ridiculous! For me, the pressure is off as nobody expected this at the start of the year. I’m picking points up as we go along and seeing how we go from there really. It could be difficult at Brands with the ballast – it’s undulating, so we have to be wary. There are a lot of corners and stop-starts, though, which should suit the BMW.

“There are seven or eight guys taking points off each other out there as well as off of me, so we’ll see what happens. Regarding the competition, Honda has been up there for many years as the benchmark. I think the biggest threat comes from them – they’re experienced guys who have been there and done it. My team-mate’s there in the mirrors too, and you can never discount the Fords. It’s going to be a strange two weeks. I’ll try to keep myself sharp with BMW in the meantime, and Brands Hatch GP is my favourite circuit. I’m looking forward to it. I’ll go there the same way I did this weekend. I’ll prepare, do the simulator work and walk the track three times if needs be. Hopefully we’ll qualify well, which will be really important, and we’ll go from there.”

Silverstone Race Winners

Tom Ingram said: “Obviously it wasn’t the way we’d have liked to have won the race and it would have been nice to cross the finish line first on the road, but a win is still a win and we had the speed to run right at the front throughout. If it hadn’t been for Josh Cook’s robust move, I think we could have taken the fight back to Ash Sutton again, but we got the result in the end anyway, and it proved we are right back on the pace after recent events.”

Andrew Jordan said: “That was hard work. I think I’ve done myself a bit of an injury celebrating! We needed that. I’ve read in places that I’ve lost my mojo, well I’ll just remind them that I haven’t at all. After the safety car, I was trying to go as fast as I could to get a gap. I wasn’t worried about the tyres. I was controlling them well. I’ve perfected a technique to look after them from back in 2013. I could see Adam Morgan was using his fronts a bit harder. We’re back in the number one spot where we should be.”

Gordon Shedden said: “The rear-wheel drive cars made a good start and I had Mat Jackson on the inside as well. I thought ‘oh no’, but my car was right on it – there was an amazing amount of grip. I got my head down and made it back past Mat and then I nipped back past Rob Collard too. I could have gone another ten laps after the chequered flag, as I was absolutely loving it. We needed that so much, it was great. It’s going to be an amazing weekend next time out at Brands Hatch. Without a shadow of a doubt, I’ll be doing everything I can to retain my title. I think the last person to do it was Fabrizio Giovanardi back in ‘07/08. I’ve been on the back foot all season really and I’ve never given up. I’m delighted to go to Brands with a chance – that’s all I ask for.”

Shedden win concludes thrilling Silverstone action

Reigning Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Champion Gordon Shedden has set-up an incredible title showdown at Brands Hatch after the Scotsman claimed victory in a thrilling finale at Silverstone.

Team JCT600 with GardX driver Rob Collard blasted his BMW into the lead off the line, as his rear-wheel drive machine launched by Shedden's Honda Civic on the run down to turn one.

Shedden would not be denied, however, as the Halfords Yuasa Racing man produced a stunning move on the second tour. As Collard braked into Maggotts, Shedden stormed down the outside and back into the lead. He went on to extend his advantage and claim his fourth win of the season.

Mat Jackson relegated Collard further down the order on lap three, but the latter was able to stem the flow thereafter.

The Subarus of Colin Turkington and Jason Plato got the better of Tom Ingram's Toyota in the battle for fourth, but two of the three would suffer late heartache. A mechanical issue stopped Ingram's Toyota in its tracks, while Plato limped home in 12th with a puncture. So it was Turkington who claimed fourth to keep his title credentials firmly intact.

Championship challengers Matt Neal and Sam Tordoff were next in the order, after the former had carved his way through the order with a number of stellar moves through Maggotts and Becketts. When Neal's Honda cruised onto the back of Tordoff's BMW there was little resistance from the WSR man, as the points leader determined that discretion was the better part of valour.

The MGs of Ash Sutton and Josh Cook bounced back from their earlier disappointment to score top ten finishes, as they sandwiched the duelling Andrew Jordan and Aiden Moffat in seventh and tenth respectively.

The impressive Rob Austin and Adam Morgan were denied good results after a puncture curtailed the Handy Motorsport Toyota while the WIX Racing man was handed a drive through penalty for exceeding track limits.

Tordoff leads the standings from the Honda duo of Shedden and Neal, but incredibly the title will be contested by an unprecedented eight drivers on the final day of the season at Brands Hatch in two weeks time. Collard, Jackson, Jordan, Turkington and Plato are the other drivers all in contention to claim the most coveted prize in British motor sport.
