The Rest of the Field



         The British Touring Car Championship is nothing short of a cut throat world.  While we relish in the thought of
         supporting the most successful team on the grid, we cannot ignore the fact that there are another 28 drivers on the
         grid, all with the same intention... to win.  So lets take a brief look at the rest of the field.

                                                                                   Olliphant.  This has got to be a top

                                                                     Although he had a problem or two at

                                                        title contender for 2019.  He took
                                                        2018 to the wire just being pipped
