Precisely what I was trying to say, unfortunately Touring cars is very much 3rd in terms of 4 wheeled motorsport behind F1 and WRC. If I hadn't been in work today I'd have been trying to ring 5Live to make sure he got a mention as I'm still yet to see his name appear in any major media outlet.
Am I right to think that in terms of world championships in his sport he's the most successful active competitor in the world?
