RACING driver Andy Priaulx’s three World Touring Car Championship successes have helped earn him a place in the 2011 Guinness World Records book.

From 2005 to 2007, the Guernsey-born sportsman completed a hat-trick of WTCC titles and currently lies second in the 2010 series.

‘It feels great to get the recognition and I’m sure the kids will be impressed,’ he said.

‘I’m glad I’ve made it in there for sporting performance, though, as some of the entries are a little bizarre but nevertheless good fun.’
