The British Touring Car Championship descends on Brands Hatch this weekend for what is sure to be a thrilling title showdown between Italian flair and British dogged determination in the shapes of Fabrizio Giovanardi and Jason Plato.
While it's these two who will rightly command most attention, the more widely-fought battle for the Independents Trophy will prove just as, if not more, fascinating as Colin Turkington, Mat Jackson and Adam Jones do battle.
Giovanardi and Plato both have a chance of winning a second BTCC title, although one has a better chance than the other. Vauxhall driver Giovanardi lies 44 points ahead of SEAT ace Plato, and with only 52 available from the triple-header, the Italian will have to have his worst weekend of the season to wind up anywhere other than first.
