Fiona Leggate as an MG driver, in 2007
The British Touring Car Championship’s present format began
in 1987, as a renamed, streamlined version of the British Saloon Racing
Championship. Although the previous championship (which will be covered in a
future post) had attracted many female drivers over the years, the BTCC has
been male-only for several seasons. The last female driver was Fiona Leggate,
in 2007.
Below are the championship results of all female drivers in
the BTCC.
