Colin Turkington has predicted that the 2021 BTCC season will be a “box office hit” as the field heads to Thruxton for the opening round of the campaign this weekend.
The West Surrey Racing driver heads into the new season seeking to try and reclaim the title he lost to Ash Sutton last year, with the Northern Irishman seeking to make history as the first ever five-time champion.
Turkington has won four times at Thruxton in the past and has high hopes of a strong weekend to start his title campaign, despite the increased level of competition.
“No matter how many years you’ve been in this series, something in the air changes in the build up to the first race weekend,” he said. “The driver shuffle and car upgrades are feeding the anticipation too, because there are even more unknowns than usual.
