Top 10: Ranking the greatest BTCC champions
The question of who is the greatest in Formula 1 or any sport is often debated, but it’s more about highlighting the best performers in any given pursuit. Autosport has focused on the British Touring Car Championship to recognize drivers who set the benchmark and made an impact. Matt Neal, with 63 wins and 3 titles from 1991-2020, stands out as one of the most successful and influential drivers in BTCC history, with a record-breaking 700+ starts and multiple Independent titles. Neal’s rivalry with Jason Plato added to the BTCC’s appeal, and his ability to defend his crown in 2006 showcased his consistency and skill. Despite facing tough competition, Neal’s legacy and achievements in the BTCC are truly remarkable and solidify his status as one of the all-time greats in touring car racing.
