Andy Priaulx has enjoyed numerous title successes during the course of his motor racing career. Over the past three years, Priaulx, who resides on Guernsey in the Channel Isles with wife Joanne and their two children, has claimed 17 victories in the European and World Touring Car Championships, and featured on podiums a further 25 times. These impressive results have enabled him to garner (provisionally) the last European Touring Car Championship in 2004, and World Touring Car titles in 2005/6/7.
Priaulx is thus the first driver ever who scored four consecutive FIA touring car titles. He has established a reputation for himself as not only one of the planet’s fastest touring car drivers, but also as one who possesses the necessary mental strength to take on the world’s best. Adaptation is another of his fortes: when events don’t run to plan, Priaulx immediately adopts alternate strategies.
Nor is his talent restricted to touring cars: Priaulx has celebrated successes in single-seater categories, in karting, endurance racing and hillclimbs, whilst he also competed in motocross and offshore powerboats with distinction.
