Adam Shepherd marked himself out as a title favourite in the eighth season of TCR UK touring cars with two wins and another podium over the opening weekend at Donington Park.
Shepherd led the way for the opening half of last year’s championship before a wretched run of mechanical gremlins derailed his challenge. But, having finally identified the culprit – a faulty fuel tank – over the winter, Shepherd agreed a late deal to return his Cupra Leon Competicion to the grid with Capture Motorsport and immediately rediscovered his form.
