Why the BTCC elite should fear Shedden's return
OPINION: The British Touring Car Championship Lord taketh away Dan Cammish, then giveth Gordon Shedden. That means substituting what would have been a future champion with an all-time series great with a point to prove on his return
Twelve months or so before the Chinese city of Wuhan gained notoriety as the source of COVID-19, its main recognition among UK motorsport fans was as the location of a breakthrough win in the World Touring Car Cup for Gordon Shedden.
That was as good as it got for ‘Flash’ during his 2018-19 stint with Audi in the series. And, when the Ingolstadt manufacturer pulled its official backing of TCR competition, he was left high and dry last season. Now Shedden, a three-time title winner in the British Touring Car Championship, is back where he belongs for 2021: at the wheel of a Team Dynamics Honda Civic Type R. It’s the same team, manufacturer and, indeed, car model with which he claimed all three of his crowns.
