I Wish My Car Went That Fast!

Through Jan, a member on our forum we got hooked up with a British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) driver by the name of Martyn Bell. 2006 saw Martyn and his team competing in their first season of the BTCC. No stranger to motor racing, previously Martyn was a driver in the Kumho BMW Championship, BTCC being the next step up the ladder.

Anyone attending the race events would have seen the HW logo screaming past speeds of over 100mph. 

Although not without it’s set back’s Martyn had a good first season racing with the ‘big boys’. Overall he finished 17th in the drivers championship and 11th in the independent drivers.

For the car buffs, Martyn drives a BMW E46 2.0i S2000 TOURING CAR with a mere 280bhp (restricted).
