At a soaking wet Okayama circuit in Japan, the Guernseyman won his second race of the 2009 FIA World Touring Car Championship and then claimed second in race two having started from eighth on the grid.

His two flawless performances earned him the man of the weekend title from the broadcasters.

This was the second year the series had been to the 3.703km Okayama International Circuit and again the rain came on race day.

After the two very wet races the Guernsey driver said: ‘What a fantastic weekend. I came to Japan to have good races and enjoy myself and I achieved both these aims.

‘I want to say a big thank you to my RBM boys who gave me a great car.

‘The weather was pretty bad, but I stayed out of trouble. In race two particularly it was a bit difficult as everything bunched together into the first corner and I picked the inside line and avoided any contact. Then Jorg [Muller] was in front of me and he ran wide so I was through into second.’
