Motorsport News has conducted an exclusive poll of the top ten finishers in the 2026 British Touring Car Championship to unearth the ‘Racer’s Racer of the Year’.

Unsurprisingly, record-breaking champion Ash Sutton topped the rankings from his peers in his NAPA UK Ford Focus Titanium, whilst the likes of Team VERTU’s Tom Ingram and CPRL’s Mercedes racer Adam Morgan also finished highly.

Others to feature in the top ten include Team VERTU Hyundai racer Nic Hamilton and Jack Sears Trophy winner Dexter Patterson in his Power Maxed Racing Audi A3, but to see the full rundown you’ll have to purchase this week’s Motorsport News.

Matt James, Motorsport News editor and BTCC reporter, said: “This is me dipping my responsibility to rate the drivers in print, but who better to ask than those strapped into the cockpit themselves? It is a really strong insight into the drivers who earn respect from their on-track rivals.

“Conducting this poll gives readers an insight into who the men on the grid think are those performing excellently. And the drivers themselves don’t generally tend to get things wrong.”
