context_page_description: The 1999 British Touring Car Championship featured 26 races across 13 rounds, starting at Donington Park on 5 April and ending at Silverstone on 19 September. The driver's title was won by Laurent Aïello in his debut season driving for the Nissan works team, with his teammate David Leslie in second place. Rickard Rydell, the 1998 champion, came third.
  One of the surprises of the season was the performance of independent driver Matt Neal. Driving for his father's Team Dynamics in a 1998 Nissan Primera, Neal became the first independent driver to win a championship race in the feature race of the first Donington round; series organisers TOCA had put up a reward for £250,000 for this achievement.
