Alain Menu statisticly best driver of 2007
Andy Priaulx might have won the title, but there are few doubts that Alain Menu emerged as the fastest man during the current season.
Chevrolet’s swiss driver occupied only the 6th position in the championship’s final classification, but topped most of the individual statistics. Menu claimed 5 victories (only Priaulx had managed to do so last year), set 5 pole positions out of 11 rounds (a new record for the series) and led 64 laps out of the 293 raced (only Priaulx had done better last year, leading 65 laps out of 253).
However, Menu lacked consistency and remained scoreless in 50 per cent of the rounds, which eventually cut him out on the title fight, whereas Priaulx and Yvan Muller scored in all the rounds but five.
Eleven drivers claimed at least one win during the season, with Farfus and Priaulx scoring three each, Yvan Muller, James Thompson and Jörg Müller two apiece.
The only statistic not topped by Menu is about the fastest laps. Jörg Müller, Thompson and Gabriele Tarquini led this list as they clocked three fastest laps each.
