#67 Andy Priaulx

Andy Priaulx is best known for his three FIA World Touring Car Championship titles but what is less known is the fact that the likeable Guernseyman gambled his house on succeeding in motorsport in 1996, then did it again just three years later!

Since then he hasn’t looked back and in addition to the triple touring car world crown the British driver has won the FIA European Touring Car Championship, the Renault Spider Championship and triumphed at the Nürburgring 24 Hour and Sebring 12 Hour races. 

Andy’s full title is Andy Priaulx MBE, a title awarded to him in 2008 for services to motorsport, in recognition of his third world title.
