BTCC stars taming touring car legends at Goodwood Revival - Evo
Fourteen such drivers, all previous BTCC race winners, will compete at this year’s Goodwood Revival, in vehicles ranging from historic touring cars to blue-blooded sports car legends. The St Mary’s Trophy is always a star attraction at the Goodwood Revival, and this year the historic touring car event is littered with stars from the sport’s modern era. Rivals Jason Plato and Matt Neal will be rivals at Goodwood too – the former will race a 1964 Morris Mini Cooper S with TV chef James Martin, while the Honda driver will replace his Civic for a Ford Lotus Cortina, co-owned and co-driven with... All three have been BTCC champions in recent years, but another champion, Andrew Jordan, will share another Lotus Cortina with his father Mike. Andy Priaulx won the World Touring Car championship in 2005, 2006 and 2007, and this year drives for his favoured BMW team in the British series. In the St Mary’s Trophy, the Guernsey-born racer will again race with BMW, in a historic BMW 1800 TiSA. A BTCC winner in a Sierra RS500 at Donington in 1989, Needell will hopefully avoid last year’s brake issues in this year’s Jaguar Mk2. Le Mans winner and BTCC winner in 2000, Tom Kristensen, will compete in a Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt. Source: www.evo.co.uk
