BTTC Champion 2012 - Gordon Sheddon

Today, Gordon Sheddon won the 2012 BTTC championship in his Honda Civic touring car, making him the first Scottish BTTC champion since John Cleland in 1995. This got me searching the net for some of his most memorable moments, so here's just a few of them!

Here's the champion earlier in the year on Snetterton, with his description of what happened.

(1)  “I was coming round the last bend and then there was a pop, like a misfire or as if the car had run out of fuel… as I started coasting into the pit lane flame suddenly flashed up the side of the car. 
"My first reaction was to get it to the Team Dynamics pit garage as quickly as possible so we could get it extinguished.”

Sadly, last year Gordon Sheddon didn't have so much luck on Brands Hatch, especially on the practice laps when he ended up buried in the gravel!

Here he is, celebrating his first ever win at Oulton Park in 2006. He's always had a racing relationship with Matt Neil, as they've been teammates for many a year. Sheddon said how "it’s brilliant to have a teammate that I can learn so much from" - it would appear after the results of today he's learnt all he needs to!

 Congratulations to Gordon Sheddon, and everyone else who made this years' 
season a brilliant one!
