Can the BTCC's underrated Toyota ace stake his claim to a title?
There’s new investment at Speedworks Motorsport, and its Toyotas have brand spanking new engines. Can the team put Rory Butcher into frame for a first British Touring Car Championship title?
“Don’t make it sound like I’m bigging myself up,” pleads Rory Butcher at the end of a cosy chat with Autosport on the eve of the 2023 British Touring Car Championship kicking off this weekend at Donington Park.
He’s probably going to hate that we’ve quoted his throwaway line, but the point is that, if there was a BTCC points table for drivers bigging themselves up, then Butcher would comfortably occupy 27th place out of 27. The Scot is a chap who’s as modest as they (usually don’t) come, but just happens to love driving racing cars – and he’s very, very good at it.
