[BTCC frog]

40. Jeff Allam
The teammate to John Cleland in the first four years of the modern era, Allam had more success in previous seasons but still took some wins and was a title contender for much of the 1992 season. Not quite as quick as Cleland, and the pace dropped off further in 1993 and 1994, but still did a decent job and has been a steward for some time since.
39. Dan Eaves
The first driver ever to win three races in one weekend. Eaves started his career with a few impressive appearances in the production class, before getting a factory drive with Peugeot in 2001, where he beat Soper in the championship but was the less impressive of the two. Eaves was then teamed with Harvey and Breeze for two seasons in uncompetitive Peugeots before signing for Team Dynamics. Was close to Matt Neal's pace but ultimately not quite on it, but still took an impressive third in the championship in 2005.
38. Tom Chilton
Gets some points for longevity, as Chilton began his BTCC career as a teenager in 2002 and still drives in 2021. He did a very good job for Honda in 2004-2005 with some wins, after a disappointing first season there in 2003. Not so strong in Vauxhall as he was thoroughly outclassed by Giovanardi. Did well at Team Aon, although he was slower than Onslow-Cole and was lucky to take the independents' title in 2010. He returned in 2017 having driven in WTCC and took his best ever championship result with third in 2018 for Motorbase. Following a poor season with BTC, Chilton has now switched to a RWD Ciceley BMW, but 2021 has been a struggle so far.
37. Jack Goff
Made his debut in a Team HARD Vauxhall Insignia in 2013, with his best drive and result being a second place in the season finale, where he challenged Shedden. Got a drive in a top team in 2015 with MG and won at Snetterton, then had a poor year with WSR. His best seasons were at Eurotech in 2017 and 2018 when he took many wins and challenged for the independents' championship. Struggled in a very uncompetitive Team HARD Volkswagen the next two seasons after Eurotech pulled out, but has had improved results in the Cupra in 2021. Deserves to get back into a front-running car.
36. Warren Hughes
Only drove in the BTCC for two full seasons in 2002 and 2003 with MG, but won a few races and did a very respectable job against Anthony Reid, who I rate very highly. Hughes came sixth in 2002 to Reid's fourth, and seventh in 2003 to Reid's sixth and young Colin Turkington's eighth. Was dropped in favour of Turkington as MG slimmed to a two-car outfit in 2004 and never raced in the BTCC again.
35. Patrick Watts
The greatest modern-era BTCC driver never to win a race, Watts divided opinion amongst drivers and fans. I believe it was Paul Radisich who, after a collision with Watts, labelled the incident 'just typical Patrick Watts,' but Watts was actually extremely quick. He took a pole at Thruxton in a Mazda in 1993, and was strong throughout 1994 as he dominated teammate Eugene O'Brien and finished eighth in the points. His form dropped during his last two seasons with Peugeot as he was outclassed by Tim Harvey, and left after 1997 with no race wins.
34. Steven Kane
Kane could be higher on the list, but is let down by only having two seasons and never in a championship-contending car. In 2008, he beat experienced Rob Collard in the championship as a rookie, which was no mean feat given Collard's later successes, and then did an incredible job in 2010 to comfortably beat Mat Jackson, who had finished second in a BMW only two years earlier, and get sixth overall, also winning at Thruxton. Had Steven Kane remained in the BTCC over the last ten years, I feel confident that he would have won a championship, or at least been a contender for one.
33. Julian Bailey
Perhaps most famous for tipping teammate Will Hoy on his roof in Silverstone 1993, Bailey joined the BTCC as a Formula 1 exile, and did a superb job to take fifth beat former champion Hoy in the championship for Toyota, doing the same the following year. He also won at Knockhill. His final season was 1995, where he came ninth and was comfortably ahead of new teammate Tim Sugden, before Toyota pulled out of the sport.
32. Andy Priaulx
Priaulx drove only two full seasons in the BTCC, one in 2002 and the other in 2015. Had he driven in the twelve years in between, he would surely be top five at least on this ranking, given his many WTCC titles. Priaulx came fifth in 2002 for Honda with an impressive win at Knockhill. In 2015 he returned with a pole on his first outing at Brands Hatch, but could only manage eighth in the standings with two wins. He was beaten by teammate Tordoff but was arguably the better driver over the course of the season.
31. Tom Onslow-Cole
Burst onto the BTCC scene as a teenager in 2007, and came tenth in the championship for WSR, appearing quick but error-prone. He seemed to iron those mistakes out in 2008 with a fine sixth in the standings only one place behind Matt Neal, including two wins at Thruxton. His best season was 2010, where he fought for the title in a Team Aon Ford, with only a disastrous final meeting costing him a deserved independents' crown to teammate Chilton. He returned to WSR in 2012 for sixth overall, behind teammate Collard. His last season was 2013, where he had another fantastic weekend at Thruxton with two podiums for Team HARD, but the rest of the season was less successful. It is a shame he wasn't in the championship for longer.
