2009 Champion?
Who does everyone think will be 2009 BTCC champion then?
Part of me really wants Turkington to win. He's always been there or there abouts and has driven so well this year. Plus it would be nice to have a new champion
The other part of me wants Gio to win just to claim the never-done-before hat trick of titles. Especially with Vauxhall pulling out next year. He's on fire so far in the second part of the season
Or maybe Plato or Neal will have late charge? I think if Plato had had a bit more luck he could have won. He proved his class at Knockhill
I have a gut feeling Gio will pull of the hat trick

I would like Turkington to win it but I am afraid not having a decent team-mate is hampering him a lot. I feel sorry for him having to race against 3 cars playing team orders.
I've got friends racing all over the world.... good luck to you all.

As much as I'd like it to be Turkington, I think Giovanardi will get the hat-trick.

I'm just glad that it's between Turks & Gio. They're both good lads and great drivers. I'd be happy with either.

I'm really hoping it will be Colin Turkington but his lead has been gradually eroded by Fabrizio Giovanardi in the past few races. I think it will be very close between the two.
Blackadder! Blackadder! With many a cunning plan,
Blackadder! Blackadder! You horrid little man.

Head says Gio, heart says Turkington.
Turkington really deserves it. He's been caught out by rivals' better #2s/team orders and been carrying Team RAC for far too long.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

Turkington for me. He was close in 06 in the MG and has always done well in whatever car he has been given.

Agreed would love to see Turkington take the title. Such a quick and clean racer who does have to do all the work him self with inferior team mates.

Now Reid is riding shotgun for Turkington. Colin has no excuse now not to take the overall title.
That being said, I still think that Gio could steal it! What a result that would be?
