2013 British Touring Car Championship

The 2013 Dunlop[1] MSA British Touring Car Championship was a multi-event motor racing championship for production-based touring cars held across England and Scotland. The championship features a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded amateur drivers competing in highly modified versions of Family cars which are sold to the general public and conform to the technical regulations for the championship. It is one of the most popular domestic motor racing series in the United Kingdom, with an extensive program of support categories built up around the BTCC centrepiece. It was the 56th British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) season.

This was the third season that cars conforming to the Next Generation Touring Car (NGTC) specification will be allowed to compete and the first season since the end of the phased transition from the Super 2000 specification which saw the organising body, TOCA, maintain a performance equalisation between the two chassis specifications. The season saw teams compete with car chassis built to either NGTC or S2000 specification although the NGTC cars had a significant performance advantage over the S2000 cars by giving NGTC cars a significant increase in the turbo boost pressures which they are allowed to run. All teams used the NGTC 2.0 litre turbocharged engine. Teams with S2000 cars were eligible for the newly introduced S2000 trophy named after the winner of the inaugural British Saloon Car Championship in 1958, Jack Sears, known as the Jack Sears Trophy, of which Sears himself awarded to the top S2000 finisher of the year – Lea Wood – at the final round at Brands Hatch based on the number of S2000 wins (known as 'cups') over the season.[2]

Season report edit

Round One (Races 1, 2 & 3) – Brands Hatch Indy

Qualifying for the first race of 2013 started in sunny and cold conditions. The low track temperature caused a few early warm up incidents with several cars sliding off the track culminating in a red flag, after two minutes, for a collision between the spun Colin Turkington and Jack Goff. As the session restarted and drivers began to get heat into the tyres, the times started to tumble with Andrew Jordan setting the fastest time which would become the first pole position of the season after deteriorating track conditions due to a snow shower prevented drivers from improving their times.[3]

The opening race of the season saw a race long battle between Jason Plato and Andrew Jordan which culminated in Jordan making a last lap dive up the inside of Plato on the final corner. Both Plato and Jordan went off into the gravel, however both drivers were able to recover with Plato winning from Jordan and the fast starting Rob Austin rounding off the podium. Elsewhere the championship campaign got off to a bad start for the Honda pair, after both Matt Neal and Gordon Shedden had to make unscheduled pit stops, finishing out of the points. Race two was also won by Jason Plato, with Andrew Jordan repeating his race 1 second place and Jordan's Pirtek Racing teammate Jeff Smith rounding off the podium. Shedden had originally finished the race third, however post race scrutineers found that he was running below the minimum ride height.[4] Race three began with a big crash for Rob Austin on lap two after Dave Newsham spun coming down Paddock Hill Bend, tagging the back of Austin's Audi and sending him spinning into the barrier. After a safety car period, Matt Neal took the lead and went on to win the race from his teammate Shedden who had to race through from the back of the grid.[5]

In the Jack Sears Trophy, Liam Griffin took two wins with James Kaye taking the other.[6]

Round Two (Races 4, 5 & 6) – Donington Park

Qualifying was between two drivers, Gordon Shedden and Frank Wrathall with both drivers swapping fastest lap times in the last minutes of the session. Shedden though was able to beat Wrathall's fastest time as the session came to a close to claim his first pole position since Oulton Park in 2011.[7]

The day's first race was a lights to flag victory for Shedden who was pushed all the way however by Andrew Jordan who finished second. Third was Matt Neal, making it a Honda Civic lock-out of the podium. Race two of the day had two very special milestones for two drivers. Jason Plato celebrated his 400th race in the BTCC,[8] whilst Matt Neal celebrated his 500th race.[9] Both Plato and Neal ran the numbers 400 and 500 respectively in this race, which was won by Andrew Jordan, from Plato and Shedden. The reverse grid of race three allowed front row starter Colin Turkington take his first win since Snetterton in 2009 and the maiden win for the new eBay Motors BMW 125i. Shedden and Neal finished second and third respectively whilst Plato struggled with the softer tyre, finishing down in eighth.[10]

In the Jack Sears Trophy, James Kaye took his second cup of the season, whilst Joe Girling and Lea Wood both took their first cup.[11]

Round Three (Races 7, 8 & 9) – Thruxton

Andrew Jordan secured his second pole position of the year at the track where he also claimed pole 12 months ago, whilst Gordon Shedden and Matt Neal made it a Honda lock-out of the first three grid slots.[12]

Race seven of the season took place in hot and sunny conditions. There was an opening lap mishap for Shedden, when he made contact with Jason Plato at the complex, sending him slamming into the barrier. Despite this, Shedden was able to continue and finished the race at the back of the field. Pole sitter Andrew Jordan lead from the start and looked good for the win. However, with half a lap to go, his front left tyre suffered a puncture sending him off into the grass and having to limp home to finish 11th. This promoted Matt Neal to the lead and gave him his second win of the season. Plato finished second with a hard charging Tom Onslow-Cole finishing third in his Volkswagen CC. Race two was also won by Matt Neal after leading from the start. Onslow-Cole improved to second place, achieving PPCGB.com/Kraftwerk Racing's best result to date. Shedden and Jordan both recovered from starting down the field to finish third and fourth respectively with Plato in fifth. The final race of the day had more tyre troubles for the race leader. With two laps to go, Jason Plato's MG6 GT suffered a puncture which would see him drop to the back of the field. This allowed Shedden to take his first win of the day ahead of Matt Neal and Andrew Jordan. This meant that Matt Neal left Thruxton the championship leader, with Andrew Jordan and Jason Plato in second and third ahead of defending champion Gordan Shedden in fourth.[13]

In the Jack Sears Trophy, Lea Wood took two class wins to add to his Donington win with Liam Griffin taking a class win, extending his tally to three cups.

Round Four (Races 10, 11 & 12) – Oulton Park

In the buildup to round four, AmD Tuning.com announced that Aaron Mason would make his BTCC debut, replacing James Kaye who had a business commitment.[14] Qualifying for race ten of the season saw the MG KX Momentum Racing team secure a front row lock-out with team leader Jason Plato starting on pole from rookie teammate Sam Tordoff.[15]

After such a strong qualifying, in came as no surprise that the MG pair we able to convert their front row lock-out into a one-two lights to flag victory for Plato, with Tordoff second in race ten. During the second race of the day, Plato was able to once again win with another lights to flag run, this time ahead of Gordon Shedden and Colin Turkington respectively. However, Tordoff was unable to replicate his first race form. After choosing the soft tyre, he quickly lost grip and stated dropping down the order to finish outside the points, after contact with Mat Jackson. The final race of the day saw action from the very start. The first half of the race saw a fight for the lead between Rob Austin and Jeff Smith, with Austin taking an early lead until lap 8 when Smith passed him after some contact. However, problems for the title contenders began on lap 4 with Plato retiring in the pits with an engine fire and a lap later, Shedden's hopes of a strong finish were dashed after his Honda Yuasa Racing Team Civic suffered a puncture. Smith looked like he could take his first win until on lap 12, he lost it under braking at Knickerbrook, spinning the car round. This allowed his Pirtek Racing teammate, Andrew Jordan, to take his second win of the season, narrowly beating home eBay Motors Colin Turkington.

In the Jack Sears Trophy, Lea Wood took another two class wins with Liam Griffin again taking a class win, extending his tally to four cups, one behind leader Wood on five.

Round Five (Races 13, 14 & 15) – Croft

In the buildup to Croft, Addison Lee Racing announced two driver changes. Jake Hill replaced Liam Griffin for this round, who had business commitments,[16] and he was joined by Michael Caine in a brand new NGTC Ford Focus. Colin Turkington took his first pole position since his last back in 2009 at the same venue and the first pole for the new BMW 125i M Sport. He narrowly beat Jason Plato in a red flag affected session caused by the returning Joe Girling, who crashed at the chicane.[17]

The first race of the day saw Turkington convert his pole into a dominant lights to flag victory ahead of the Honda pairing of Matt Neal and Gordon Shedden respectively. Rain fell during the buildup to the day's second race, leading to a mix of tyre strategies on the grid. At the start, the MG KX Momentum Racing, running on wet tyres, took a large lead from the slick shod cars around them. However, it soon became apparent that the track was not getting wetter, but was starting to dry and as the cars running slicks gained heat and confidence in the tyres, they soon caught and passed Plato and Sam Tordoff who slowly dropped down to finish outside the points. At the front, it was Turkington who once again mastered the tricky conditions to win the race from Shedden in second and Tom Onslow-Cole in an impressive third for PPCGB.com/Kraftwerk Racing. The weather would again affect the final race of the day. However, this time, there was no doubt which tyres you needed to be on, after heavy rain began to fall. Matt Neal won the race after taking the lead from Nick Foster on lap three, however it was not plain sailing. On the final lap, Neal ran wide at two corners, allowing the hat-trick searching Colin Turkington to close right up onto the back bumper of Neal's Honda Civic leaving Neal a winning margin of only 0.6 seconds over Turkington. Andrew Jordan rounded out the podium in third with Shedden a distant fourth. Plato and Tordoff recovered from the poor tyre choice in race two to finish sixth and seventh respectively.[18]

In the Jack Sears Trophy, debutant Jake Hill scored a class win in his maiden outing. David Nye's hard work this year was rewarded by a win in race two and Lea Wood extended his cup lead with victory in the final race of the day.[19]

Round Six (Races 16, 17 & 18) – Snetterton

During the summer break, there were several team changes announced for Snetterton. James Kaye and Warren Scott remained with their respective teams, but changed cars. Kaye swapped his Volkswagen Golf for a Super 2000 Honda Civic.[20] Scott, traded in his S2000 SEAT León for a Next Generation Touring Car Volkswagen CC.[21] Andy Neate finally made his season debut with his home run NGTC Chevrolet Cruze.[22] after several aborted debuts during the season.[23][24] American Robb Holland also returned, at the circuit he made his BTCC debut in 2012, with RCIB Insurance Racing.[25]

Sam Tordoff took his first pole position in the British Touring Car Championship with Jason Plato second making it a MG KX Momentum Racing front–row lock-out.[26]

Tordoff converted his first pole position into his first race victory in the first race of the day, leading home teammate Plato. Andrew Jordan took a controversial win in race two when he made contact with then race leader Colin Turkington to take the lead. Matt Neal finished second behind his nearest championship rival while Aron Smith claimed the first podium of the season for Airwaves Racing. Plato had led early on before he retired with fuel pump problems.[27] Gordon Shedden won race three in equally controversial circumstances, Turkington had again found himself leading the race when he was tapped into a spin by Shedden. Plato had a dramatic end to his weekend when he spun off on the approach to Hamilton, clipping the barrier and barrel rolling his MG. Jordan and Shedden later had points added to their licences for their moves on Turkington.[28]

In the Jack Sears Trophy, Lea Wood claimed victory in all three races to extend his lead in the trophy standings.

Round Seven (Races 19, 20 & 21) – Knockhill

RCIB Insurance Racing brought in Scottish Legends racer Kieran Gallagher to replace Jack Goff who was missing the Knockhill round for financial reason.[29] Paul O'Neill made his return to the championship in the car raced by Robb Holland at Snetterton.[30] Renault Clio Cup United Kingdom driver Mike Bushell made his championship with Team Club 44, replace team owner Andy Neate.[31] Finesse Motorsport entered the championship with a Super 2000 Chevrolet Cruze LT for series newcomer Aiden Moffat who at 16 years, 10 months and 28 days would become the youngest starter in the British Touring Car Championship, beating the record set by Tom Chilton in 2002.[32]

Rob Austin claimed his first British Touring Car Championship pole position, edging out eBay Motors' Colin Turkington. Andrew Jordan qualified third but took a six–place grid penalty for accumulating three reprimands during the season.[33]

Colin Turkington took victory in race one having passed Austin, who went on to finish third behind local hero Gordon Shedden, on the opening lap. Turkington took victory again in race two with Austin second ahead of Shedden. Jordan won from pole in race three to beat his championship rival Matt Neal who was second. Neal's teammate Shedden retired from the race when he was running fifth when his car caught fire due to an engine failure. Turkington was later excluded from race three when his car was found to have exceeded the maximum boost allowance.

In the Jack Sears Trophy, Liam Griffin took class wins in the first two races, he retired from the third race allowing Lea Wood to add to his tally of cups.[34]

Round Eight (Races 22, 23 & 24) – Rockingham

On the championship's return to England, Jack Goff returned to RCIB Insurance Racing with Howard Fuller returning to the team at the track where he made his championship debut in 2012.[35] Tom Onslow-Cole left Team HARD. to join Airwaves Racing,[36] his seat in the Volkswagen CC was taken by VW Cup racer Andy Wilmot.[37]

Jason Plato led an MG KX Momentum Racing 1–2 in qualifying with Knockhill pole–sitter Rob Austin in third.[38]

Plato had a slow start away from pole and Andrew Jordan made a good start from fourth to jump up into the lead at the first hairpin. Jeff Smith went off the track further around the opening lap while up ahead there was a collision when Will Bratt spun and collected Adam Morgan, there was then a separate collision between Daniel Welch, Tom Onslow-Cole and Andy Neate which saw Howard Fuller go off the track to avoid the stranded cars. When the race resumed after the safety car period on lap 7, Matt Neal spun on the restart to drop towards the back of the field and climbed back up to 14th but lost the championship lead to race winner Jordan. In race two Austin jumped ahead of Jordan and Mat Jackson at the start and led every lap to claim his first race win in the British Touring Car Championship. Jordan was struggling with the extra weight in the car following his race one victory, he dropped down the order and was running behind championship rival Neal until both Rob Collard and Neal went off at the first hairpin. Neal retired from the race and the title advantage returned to Jordan and Shedden who was running second. Jordan was drawn on pole position for the final race of the day, he held the lead at the start of the race as Turkington moved up into 7th place. The first lap saw Jack Goff slide and take out Collard while trying to avoid an also sliding Jeff Smith, bringing out the safety car. After the safety car restart Jordan held on to win the race, Neal climbed from the back of the grid to finish 7th.

In the Jack Sears Trophy, Lea Wood deprived David Nye of victory in race one on the final lap after starting from the pit lane. Wood claimed victory again in race two and race three to secure the Jack Sears Trophy for 2013.[39]

Round Nine (Races 25, 26 & 27) – Silverstone

Aiden Moffat returned to the championship having missed the previous round, he joined PPCGB.com/Kraftwerk Racing to drive their Volkswagen CC for the final two rounds of the season.[40]

As was the case at Rockingham, qualifying saw Jason Plato lead an MG KX Momentum Racing 1–2 on the grid for race one.[41]

The MG drivers converted their front row lock-out into first and second in the race, Plato leading home Sam Tordoff. The race was interrupted by a safety car period early on after a collision at the end of the first lap between Andy Neate, Nick Foster and Will Bratt. Race two saw Plato claim his 80th BTCC victory in another safety car interrupted race, championship leader Andrew Jordan on soft tyres finished a close 2nd after starting 6th. Jordan briefly held the lead before Plato fought back and retook the place, Aron Smith meanwhile closed in on both of them to finish third. Matt Neal was on pole for race three but he was quickly passed by Colin Turkington who started second. Turkington led until the race restarted after a one–lap safety car period to recover debris on the circuit when Gordon Shedden and Aron Smith got past. Turkington's race ended on lap 21 when he spun at Copse and broke the rear suspension on his BMW. Shedden claimed victory to ensure he stayed in contention to retain his title.

In the Jack Sears Trophy, provisional champion Lea Wood claimed victory in all three races; he was the only entrant in race three when Liam Griffin was unable to start.[42]

Circuits for the 2013 season
  • BTC Racing were supposed to return to the BTCC for the first time since 2008 with a single NGTC Chevrolet Cruze, originally constructed for use in the 2012 season with RML before Chevrolet pulled their manufacturer support but acquired by BTC Racing in October 2012.[48] The team ultimately did not make an appearance during the 2013 season.
  • Team HARD. expanded to a four-car team in 2013 having acquired two NGTC Vauxhall Insignia VXR-R cars from Thorney Motorsport[56] and entering two NGTC spec Volkswagen CCs, with the ambition to run two more by the end of the season, but these did not appear.[57] with the Volkswagens competing under the PPCGB.com/Kraftwerk Racing label, while the Vauxhalls competed under the RCIB Insurance Racing banner.[58] The team sold their S2000 Honda Civic after deciding that it would be too difficult for the team to run a car in the Jack Sears Trophy alongside their NGTC cars.[59]
  • In January 2013, AmDTuning.com announced that they were building a NGTC-spec Vauxhall Astra that will debut mid-season, running alongside the Volkswagen Golf that the team have been running since 2010.[60] Also in addition to these cars the team intended to run a Super 2000 Ford Focus, but AMD had only been able to secure one entry for their S2000 Volkswagen Golf Mk5 for James Kaye.[43] Later in the season the team bought a Team Dynamics-prepared S2000 Honda Civic for Kaye, which was used at Snetterton.
  • Motorbase Performance announced they were selling their three Super 2000 cars to build two more NGTC Fords for a two car team in 2013, following the successful introduction of a NGTC Ford Focus ST at Snetterton for Mat Jackson in 2012.[61] On 6 March the team announced that they were going to receive title sponsorship from Airwaves, and on 8 March Motorbase Performance further announced that they would run a secondary team without title sponsorship from Airwaves for a Super 2000 Ford Focus for Liam Griffin and another NGTC Focus.[62]
  • Tech-Speed Motorsport returned to the BTCC, having missed the 2012 season, running a single S2000 Chevrolet Cruze chassis powered by an NGTC engine. The team had hoped to run at Silverstone and Brands Hatch toward the end of 2012, but did not feature. The car was driven by former Dunlop Production Touring Car Championship driver Joe Girling.[49] The team will run under the M247 Racing banner, after receiving title sponsorship from the internet provider M247. The team withdrew from the series after Croft and the car was raced by Aiden Moffat for the team's initial partner, Finesse Motorsport.
  • West Surrey Racing switched to 3 NGTC specification BMW 125i cars to replace their S2000 BMW 320sis that they ran since 2007.[63]
  • Team BMR Restart ran a SEAT León for Warren Scott in the Jack Sears Trophy, in the opening portion of the season. Scott raced a Team HARD.-prepared NGTC Volkswagen CC from Snetterton onwards.
  • Welch Motorsport expanded to a two car team, which ran the NGTC Proton Persona for Daniel Welch and a Super 2000 Ford Focus for David Nye in the Jack Sears Trophy.
  • Andy Neate campaigned in an NGTC Chevrolet Cruze under the Team Club 44 banner from Snetterton onwards after losing his seat at MG.

Regulation changes edit

  • Unlike 2012, S2000 and NGTC cars will no longer have performance parity.[65]
  • The amount of change (i.e. increase/decrease) in the turbo boost pressure adjustment will be reduced from the current level.[65]
  • Adjustments will be applied to either individual drivers or teams – yet to be determined – but not per car type/chassis as in 2012.[65]
  • The frequency in which the adjustments are calculated is also to be finalised – currently it is a "rolling two-event" average.[65]
  • In all events except Thruxton, drivers will be required to use a new softer compound of Dunlop tyre in one of the three races of the day which will offer "superior performance to the standard compound tyre." However, they must nominate which race they will use them in prior to qualifying. They will have distinctive markings so that rivals, spectators and TV audiences can see who's using them,[66] similar to the marking used by Pirelli in Formula One.[citation needed]
  • Cars must now have a matching set of tyres. They are no longer permitted to have a mix of wet and slick tyres.[66]
  • In addition to the fines and licence points system in 2012, from 2013 if a driver receives three warnings; verbal or otherwise, they will be relegated six places on the grid on the third penalty.[67]

Championship standings edit

The 2012 season introduced a revised championship points system in which the top 15 cars will score championship points, this will continue in the 2013 season.

Points system
 1st   2nd   3rd   4th   5th   6th   7th   8th   9th   10th   11th   12th   13th   14th   15th  Fastest lap Lead a lap

  • No driver may collect more than one "Lead a Lap" point per race no matter how many laps they lead.
  • Race 1 polesitter receives 1 point.
