THE HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship is the UK's premier car racing series, featuring bumper-to-bumper racing with cars that look just like the ones parked on your driveway.

These machines are much faster though and, on May 18 - that's Sunday week - the series comes to Hampshire's high speed Thruxton circuit, for three bouts of door-banging, paint-swapping action!

Between them, Fabrizio Giovanardi and Matt Neal have won the championship title for the past three years and now, with both competing for the works VX Racing team, the two drivers are aiming for the same again in their Vauxhall Vectras.

Giovanardi and Neal will be racing with Mobil 1 oil in their engines, the same make of oil that Lewis Hamilton's Vodafone McLaren Mercedes uses in the Grand Prix Racing World Championship, and that you can buy at your local Halfords store. Thanks to Mobil 1 and Halfords, we've got a pair of tickets to the next touring car round to give away. To enter, simply answer this question: What team do Matt Neal and Fabrizio Giovanardi drive for?

a) SEAT Sport UK b) Team Halfords c) VX Racing Send your answer with your name, adddress and daytime phone number to Thruxton Competition, Southern Daily Echo, Newspaper House, Test Lane, Redbridge, Southampton SO16 9JX.
