Fabulous Fabrizio
Fabrizio Giovanardi once again stood out from the crowd in the 2008 British Touring Car Championship. Autosport's Jamie O'Leary found out from the Italian how he won his second successive crown
On the face of it, 2008 was a classic season for the British Touring Car Championship. Nine different race winners across four different manufacturers, more wet races than almost any season in recent history, and a plethora of young talent forcing its way to the front.
Yet there was one constant factor throughout. From the first round onwards, Fabrizio Giovanardi held the number-one spot in the championship, and even as early as the third round of the series, at Donington Park in May, it seemed inevitable that the BTCC champions' trophy would remain on a certain Modena mantlepiece for another 12 months.
