It’s funny, not so long ago, some might have been tempted to put James Cole or Matt Simpson, in here, yet look at them now, both race winners.

I still don't think James Cole is anyone worth getting excited about. I feel his performances last year were very much a product of BOP.

Simpson keeps getting better though.

I remember he felt happiest when he finished all three races at Knockhill in 08, as that was a first for him

We are now in current stuff are we not?

Discussion about the merits of modern day BTCC drivers does not belong in Motorsport History.

Many thanks

I haven;t seen Alan Taylor race in the series for many years. Actually, I can;t remember him at all!


Mark Howard must be a contender. At the back of the grid race after race and caused many crashes too. Never seemed to own up to them either.

Several posters have stated dirty drivers should be included. Well, Jason Plato has been clean the last couple of seasons, but his ability seems to have deteoriated considerably in that time.
