Statistics from the 2008 BTCC season

By

The official website of the British Touring Car Championship has put together statistics over the 2008 season. The season ended two weeks ago at Brands Hatch and it saw Vauxhall-man Fabrizio Giovanardi becoming champion for the second consecutive year.

While the Italian scored the most points, he is not heading all of the statistics. His main rival during the 2008 season, Jason Plato, scored most wins, three more than Giovanardi.
