BTCC LAYS OUT THE WELCOME MAT

There’s a team in this season’s British Touring Car Championship with a driver line-up that has taken nearly 130 wins in the series between them – far in excess of any other combination. But the team concerned has only seen its car flash past the chequered flag first on four occasions.

For ambitious official Vauxhall team Power Maxed Racing, its first season with all-time wins record holder Jason Plato (edging closer to a remarkable 100 wins) on board was a success of sorts.
