BEING able to celebrate a victory with his family was the perfect Father’s Day present for Andy Priaulx.

The three-time world champion is up to second in the 2010 World Touring Car Championship following his win in race two at Zolder in Belgium on Sunday, a result that delighted all involved in it.

‘Anyone who saw this race on Eurosport would have seen some very, very happy faces,’ said Priaulx on his website yesterday.

‘Not only did I have a Cheshire cat grin from ear to ear, but so did my boss at BMW Team RBM, Bart Mampaey. For Bart this was also a special race as it is his home event.’
