Half Time Thoughts....
Just before we start the second half of the season, we've had great discussion with some fellow BTCC fans/mates - gotta love a good old debate!
Based on performances in qualifying, race craft, overall pace, race results etc...we broke down the regular grid (excluding changes for Butel, Parfitt etc) and split the grid into three groups;
Elite - Quality - The Rest (couldn't think of any better titles!)
So the following list comes after much debate - and to be clear is just opinion of three old blokes who love BTCC, so here you go:
Each list is alphabetical by the way;
Elite 10 Drivers;
Butcher
Cammish
Cook
Hill
Ingram
Lloyd
Morgan
Sutton
Shedden
Turkington
Quality 10 drivers;
Chilton
Collard
Gamble
Jelley
Hand
Moffat
Patterson
Plato
Rowbottom
Thompson
The Rest - 9 Drivers
Butel
Crees
Edwards
Jackson
Hamilton
Osborne
Parfitt
Powell
Taylor-Smith
Lots of debate around the Elite group re Morgan, Rowbottom, Jelley, Plato, Moffat, Gamble...any of those could be in for sure....
Likewise Jackson, Edwards, Taylor-Smith moving into the 'Quality; group - everyone has their favourites and of course has an opinion ...this is ours, be interested to see everyone's thoughts and see their lists
Interesting final fact;
At the end of 2021 the top 7 Drivers were Sutton, Turkington, Cook, Ingram, Hill, Shedden and Butcher
At the half way point in 2022 the top 7 are....Ingram, Cook, Turkington, Sutton, Shedden, Butcher
Cream will rise I guess...!
