How a 35-year-old BTCC rookie came the long way round

It's been an unusual route to the BTCC for 2008 British GT champion James Gornall, but the series' only rookie for this season reckons he's a better driver for it

If this were any ordinary racing season, James Gornall would currently be preparing for the fourth round of the British Touring Car Championship at Thruxton next weekend, knowing that the Hampshire track's high-speed corners were the main Achilles heel for his team's Trade Price Cars Racing Audi S3s last year.

Of course, this is no ordinary season, and the only rookie in this year's field is still waiting to make his debut, although his vast array of experience in different national motorsport categories should stand him in good stead.
