Shedden wins the BRDC Silver Star

By

Honda Racing Team driver Gordon Shedden has won the BRDC Silver Star award for national motorsport, meaning touring car drivers complete a clean sweep with WTCC driver Andy Priaulx picking up the Gold Star.

Shedden, who won five races in the 30 race BTCC season, won the award narrowly over the 2010 British Touring Car champion Jason Plato, who won the award last year.

“This is an absolutely fantastic Award to win, arguably the biggest in British motorsport and I’m extremely proud to be the recipient this year” said Shedden.

“It’s been a great year of competition in BTCC and I couldn’t have won this Award without the fantastic support from everyone at Honda Racing and Team Dynamics. I’m already looking forward to 2011 and trying to retain the Silver Star”
