The 2010 BTCC season review
After nine years of waiting, Jason Plato finally took his second British Touring Car Championship title, but only after one of the tightest contests in the series' history
Round 1, Thruxton>
Fabrizio Giovanardi agreed a late one-off deal to return to the Triple 8 squad and promptly delivered a sensational double win in what was the squad's maiden race weekend without a factory Vauxhall contract.
The Vectra driver was not the out-and-out pace-setter; that honour fell to Gordon Shedden, but a front-left puncture threw him into the tyres at high speed at Church while leading. Flat tyres also affected his team-mate Matt Neal, both Fords and 10 others.
