Gordon Shedden will arrive at his home circuit of Knockhill this weekend (3-4 Sept) knowing he’s now the most successful Scottish driver in terms of race wins to contest the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship.
Fife racer Shedden’s latest victory, achieved at the Snetterton circuit in Norfolk in early August, was the 18th of his career – one more than John Cleland who won the BTCC title twice in 1989 and 1995. Other Scottish greats to have tasted race victory in the BTCC since its inception in 1958 include Anthony Reid (15 wins), David Leslie and Tom Walkinshaw (9) and, Champion in 1964, Jim Clark (8).
