Our final thoughts on an incredible weekend has to go to the broadcasting legend that is Steve Rider!

A career spanning nearly 50 years across ITV and BBC, Steve became an iconic figure in the likes of football, F1, golf and many many more sports.

And of course, Steve has been the face of the British Touring Car Championship coverage across some four decades and leaves his role as one of the most popular and important figures in the championship’s illustrious history.

We have celebrated Steve’s phenomenal career throughout this emotional weekend and everyone involved in the BTCC cannot thank Steve enough for his unwavering support, professionalism and utter brilliance.

This is not a goodbye of course, but a see you soon… in the meantime, thank you thank you thank you and enjoy your retirement Sir Steve!
