Question / Discussion Who is the 21st-century touring car GOAT?

I'm interested to see everyone's take on this...

I only had room for 6 so feel free to mention any others (Shedden and Neal for example)

Turkington or Plato but definitely not Sutton

From a skill point of view, Gio is the most talented hands down. My vote goes to JP, on the grounds of longevity, number of wins and what he’s done for the sport marketability wise, bringing sponsors, manufacturers and spectators to the series

I'm a huge Turkington fan but i voted for Yvan and it wasn't even close.

Neal, Plato, Shedden, Turks and Sutton make up the Top 5

I've gone Turkington for now but give it 5 years and I think Sutton will indisputably be the best ever - he will get more titles and will eventually break Plato's win record I think, he's certainly young enough to.
