BTCC: Runners and riders

With no entry from a factory SEAT team this year, the fight to challenge Vauxhall for supremacy is wide open. AUTOSPORT's BTCC correspondent Jamie O'Leary examines every one of the contenders

VX Racing - Vauxhall Vectra

Fabrizio Giovanardi (I)
Age: 42
BTCC debut: Brands Hatch 2006
BTCC starts: 89
BTCC wins: 17
BTCC titles: 2
2008 position: 1st

Giovanardi was a class act on his way to last year's title, triumphing despite not having the quickest car at his disposal. Expect more of the same clever driving this time around, especially with what looks like improved pace from the Vectra. A sure-fire title favourite.
