The British Touring Car Championship had one of its best seasons in 2013. The racing was close but usually fair, it had a strong entry, and there was a fine title fight that culminated in a worthy new champion.

Andrew Jordan and his Eurotech Honda Civic managed to defeat four previous title winners - works Honda drivers Matt Neal and Gordon Shedden, MG star Jason Plato and returning 2009 champion Colin Turkington - to take the crown at the very final race.
