Sandy Mitchell is under no illusion that the recognition gained for success in British GT pales in comparison to that of the British Touring Car Championship. Take the fan-voted Autosport National Driver Award for instance. A BTCC competitor has won all but five editions of it since 2008 and none of the exceptions have gone to a British GT driver.
So in speaking to Autosport, Mitchell claimed “it would be good to see it celebrated more equally” as he accepted his nomination for this year’s award would go no further - despite an absolutely stellar 2024 campaign aboard a Barwell Motorsport Lamborghini Huracan GT3. Is he therefore one of the most under-appreciated British talents in motorsport?
