List of BTCC champions explained

The title of BTCC champion is awarded to the driver who scores the most points overall in a British Touring Car Championship season. From 1992 to present a separate championship was awarded to the winning 'independent' (not officially manufacturer backed) driver, and from 2000 to 2003 the Production class had its own championship for the best 'class B' driver.
