Colin Henry Turkington (born 21 March 1982) is a Northern Irish auto racing driver, who is currently competing in the British Touring Car Championship for Team BMW WSR in a BMW 330i M Sport . He is the reigning BTCC champion, having won it for the fourth time in 2019.
His most notable successes to date include becoming 2009 British Touring Car Champion driving for Team RAC and 2014 British Touring Car Champion driving for eBay Motors. He has also competed in the World Touring Car Championship and the inaugural Scandinavian Touring Car Championship. In 2013 he returned to the British Touring Car Championship with his current team, West Surrey Racing.
For 2019, WSR and BMW entered a trio of new 330i M Sport saloons and Turkington returned looking to seal a record-equalling fourth Drivers’ crown. He did just that, taking five victories throughout the season as well as more fastest laps and pole positions than any of his rivals. He finished just two points ahead of BMW stablemate Andrew Jordan and Honda’s Dan Cammish after a tense title-decider at Brands Hatch GP.
Turkington enters the 2020 campaign as the joint-most successful driver in BTCC history.
