Erkut was supposed to make a 3rd appearance at the 2nd Brands Hatch meeting in 2006 but he withdrew at the last minute. He also intended to race his Astra Coupe from the Turkish series at the final meeting of 2008 but only drove the car in practice. He did intend for 2009 to be a sabbatical before returning in 2010. Obviously didn't happen.
I remember Erkut. The first Turkish BTCC driver.
Yes, I watched quite a bit of BTCC in 2007 😏
2012 was when the top 15 points system was introduced.

He was the Turkish Champion in 2005.
Erkut scored a 13th, a 14th, 2 15ths and 2 DNFs in 2006.
I do because I worked for tech speed who ran the car
