Strong performers at the half way point

Defending champions VX Racing continue to dominate the 2008 HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship (BTCC), with seven wins from 15 races this year and an impressive 13 podium finishes.

Reigning BTCC Champion and VX Racing driver Fabrizio Giovanardi currently leads the driver’s classification with 145 points, with fellow VX Racing star Matt Neal snapping at his heels in second place just 23 points behind. The VX Racing team continues to hold tight at the top of the team standings, with a 137 point advantage over their nearest rivals.

The reliability and consistency of the Vectra VXR’s second season this year, sees VX Racing heading into rounds 16, 17 and 18 at Snetterton as the most successful team so far. Both the team and Giovanardi will continue the fight to defend their titles at the Snetterton rounds.

Following the team’s four podium finishes at the last meeting at Croft, including a win from Giovanardi, all three drivers hope to be able to appear together again on the podium, reminiscent of Race 3 at Snetterton 2007.

Qualifying for round 16 of the BTCC will be held on Saturday 12 July at 15:45, with the first of three races starting at 11:00 on Sunday 13 July.
