We had a quick catch up with Gordon Shedden at home following another stellar season for the Halfords Honda driver, who became the most successful Scottish BTCC driver of all time when he claimed his third BTCC title, his second in succession.
Aside from preparing for the new season, Gordon has been racing up and down the country attending various awards ceremonies and dinners; as well as attending the prestigious Autosport Awards where he collected the National Driver of Year Award for 2016.
Looking ahead to the festive break, Gordon admits that he’s not the best gift giver in the Shedden family, however, always tries to provide gifts that raise a smile. To that end, we suggested he pick out his best Christmas present recommendations from the Knockhill range and here’s what he selected.
He also wrangled a few discounts for you to use online or by phone by quoting the codes listed below. He’s good that way!!
