Today Ford celebrate their 500th BTCC win with Menu's lights to flag victory in the Sprint race!
Speaking about this achievement Menu said,"It's a fantastic feeling to have taken the 500th BTCC victory for Ford and I'm happy to be the one to do it. It's an amazing achievement for a manufacturer to be so dominant and I'm sure there will be many more victories to come in the future." |

Dominant ? Has the guy been asleep since 1993 ? They're only doing so well this year as the decent teams quit the series.
The guy's a clot. |

Excuse me for being cynical but how are Ford celebrating win number 500? I remember and indeed still have the poster to prove it, that the Mondeo's 1st win in 1993 was their 200th. Anyone able to shine some light on this matter?

At a guess the 200 was race wins, the 500 included class wins (remember it's only since 1992 that it's been a single class).
The series started in 1958 which by my maths means you need around 12 races a year to have reached 500. Given that the last few years we've had 24-26 races per year that's easily possible. Also if if is class wins you could theoretically score 2 or more class wins at any one race. |
