Ahead of next week’s season opener at Donington (1/2 August), four-time champion Colin Turkington managed to squeeze in some last-minute practice at the Leicestershire circuit whilst giving new Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship tyre supplier, Goodyear, some valuable feedback on its latest ultra-high performance road tyres. Turkington was able to draw a direct comparison between the race and road tyres as he switched from his usual BMW 330i MSport BTCC car on Goodyear racing slick tyres to the Goodyear’s own BMW M2 Competition test car, gripped by the latest Eagle F1 SuperSport tyres. Turkington has won 51 BTCC races since his debut in the UK’s leading racing championship in 2002, with 37 of those wins being at the wheel of a BMW.
