The final-race twist that capped a decade of BTCC drama
In the latest feature of our series looking back at motorsport in the 2010s, we revisit the recent '19 British Touring Car Championship finale at Brands Hatch and the last race drama that decided the title
The British Touring Car Championship practically legislates against the title being settled before the final race weekend of each campaign.
There is a raft of rules in place to make sure that no one driver, or a particularly dominant car, runs away with the big prizes. Reversed-grids, turbo boost alterations, option tyres and, most importantly of all, success ballast, all play a part.
