Three-time champion Matt Neal will contest his 700th British Touring Car Championship race in the second contest at Oulton Park later today. The first driver to claim the overall title in a Honda in 2005, Neal went on to achieve a further two overall Drivers’ championships in 2006 and 2011, alongside a record six Independent titles throughout his staggering BTCC career so far. Famously, Neal won a cheque for £250,000 after taking victory at Donington Park where the prize fund was offered to any privateer team who could win a race outright – unheard of in that particular era of the BTCC. Race Wins: 63
First Win: Donington Park, 1999
Podiums: 190
Championship titles: 3.
