The premier saloon car racing series in the UK the British Touring Car Championship remains true to the art of pure racing Drivers get the chance to pit their driving skills against one another in rubberburning bumperbashing battles This year the tin tops did not disappoint with a great season of nonstop action With four different winners in the first four races the 2002 competition got off to a thrilling start The grid included top drivers Yvan Muller James Thompson Matt Neal and Anthony Reid all in with a great chance of being crowned BTCC champion After an epic journey of high risk manoeuvring and paintscraping action Muller and Thompson emerged as the final contenders for the title The drama continued into the final race in front of a packed Donington Park crowd Both drivers gave their all in a fight to the very end
