Darren Turner

One of the more versatile drivers around, Darren Turner returned for a second full season in the BTCC after a difficult 2007 where he undoubted speed in the Leon wasn’t matched by results after a year dogged by bad luck.

At the wheel of the Leon TDi, he won twice but his main success once again came at Le Mans where he helped Aston Martin to defend the GT1 title.
