Vauxhall’s last appearance in BTCC was celebrated with the Manufacturers’ and Teams’ title at Brands Hatch over the weekend.
Vauxhall driver Fabrizio Giovanardi took two podiums and a fourth place to secure third in the BTCC Drivers’ Championship.
The British car manufacturer first entered BTCC in 1976 with the Vauxhall Magnum Coupe. Gerry Marshall won his class and third overall that year and Jeff Allam finished fourth overall a year later.
Twelve years later, Vauxhall returned to the Championship and began two decades in the series.
