BTCC 2016 – Rockingham | Recapped and Rated |
With BTCC back in action this weekend, here’s a reminder of what happened last time out along with ratings from our BTCC Correspondent.It was yet another great day of racing in the BTCC, this time at Rockingham. There may have been a few more notable rough moves, but in general the closeness of the racing was incredible. There were once again three different winners on the day, but this time a BTCC record was broken as the 12th different winner of the season was crowned in the final race with the honour falling to Aron Smith. At the top of the standings, Sam Tordoff remains the man to beat after a couple of outstanding recovery drives after a nightmare qualifying session.
