Quite frankly, Turkington is the only decent driver on the grid. It is clear he is streets ahead of anybody else in the BTCC, and doesn't punt-to-pass like the majority do.
But to say that the guys at the top of the BTCC are some of the best "in the world" compared against some of the drivers in the likes of DTM, V8 Supercars, or even WTCC, it's a ludicrous suggestion. They're not even in the same league, to be fair.
But I guess this is a debate to be had in a "who is the best touring car driver in the world right now" thread.  |
The other thing I'd like to add to Thaw's comments (which I totally agree with) is that the likes of Muller, Munu and Tarquini came from top level international motorsport
into the BTCC, they didn't learn their craft there...
