Chris Stockton- As well as occasional appearances in the MaX5 Championship, Stockton has also raced in the British Touring Car Championship since 2006 with the same team as in BTC Racing, in a Lexus IS200. He finished 10th in his first BTCC race meeting. In 2004 Chris raced in the Le Mans 24 Hours endurance race in a TVR T400 GT and competed earlier in the year in the European and American Le Mans Series with the same car.

Martin Byford- Another former MaX5 Championship driver to later turn up in the BTCC, Martin now races for AmD Milltek Racing teams in their VW Golf GTi, having succeeded Team Principal Shaun Hollamby as driver, who had stepped back into the role following Tom Onslow-Cole's surprise move to Team AON midway through a round.

He was runner-up in the championship before jointly claiming the title in 2007, and has 12 wins, 14 2nd places and 8 3rd places.

Famous quotes containing the word notable:

    In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.
