Alan Morrison (born 3 March 1971) is a British racing driver.
Racing career
A former British Champion in motocross and winner of a single 125cc Motocross World Championship race, Morrison first started circuit racing in the Ford Fiesta championship in 1997 and again this time winning the championship in 1998. He entered the Vauxhall Vectra Sri Challenge in 1999, finishing second on points.
For 2000, Morrison was in the British Touring Car Championship's newly introduced Class B. With his Peugeot 306 Gti he won the class championship with 13 class victories. He is probably best known that year for a huge crash at Brands Hatch where he went into a barrel roll going round the Grand Prix circuit. In 2002, he got a BTCC touring class works drive for Honda, ran by Arena in a Honda Civic Type-R. He drove with Andy Priaulx as teammate and finished ninth in the championship, including one race win, at Donington Park. He stayed with the team the following year with a new teammate in Matt Neal, and finished an impressive fifth on points. Morrison returned to the BTCC in 2009, as a late entry back with Arena Motorsport (under the Team Aon banner) in a Ford Focus ST but left the team after the Oulton Park weekend.
