Btcc

Anybody watching this?

 

Watch it every so often, would like to start watching it more often.

Do you know when the season ends?

 

Calendar Here

 

Cheers!

Might have to start watching it again. I enjoyed it when I did watch it!

 

Yeah this season has been pretty good so far, apart from Jason Plato moaning at every opportunity! There's a really good youtube channel with all of last years races on it.

 

the BBC seem to have almost totally dropped motorsport except GP bikes and F1, shame, I usewd to love watching the BTCC and rallycross on grandstand 'back-in-the-day'

 

Well it's not so bad on ITV4. A whole days coverage and plenty of interviews. I like the combination of Ben Edwards and Tim Harvey in the commentary box too.

 

Love a quiet sunday in watching ITV4.

 

For sure

Got to hate the fact that at this point in the season they have a 60 day break or somesuch. Not cool!

 

The 7 week break is really bugging me, I need my touring car fix.

 

Love a bit of touring. In it's a bit of a lull at the moment. A lot like Rally.

Still watch it when I remember, along with the Genetta's and FRenault.

Was at Brands Hatch for Plato winning all three heats a few years back. Was excellent.

Will go again!

 

Won't be long until it's back again. Hungarian GP in the F1 in a weeks time and then BTCC is back the week after!

 

Yeah I bet. How is the experience of watching it live? I imagine there's no big screens showing the rest of the lap after the cars go past?

 

Sorry for the late reply!

Excellent experience. Nice and loud, plenty of shoving and good racing.

The good thing is although its very busy and there aren't screens (that i noticed), you can move around the track and see a lot. The shape of the course means you can also see large parts of the racing despite only standing in once spot.

Druids you can see them fly begind you, around the main straight up to you, and away and round the Graham Hill Bend.

I would very much recommend it. Good value. I was lucky because the trailer that Steve Rider presents (did present) is made by a friend of my fathers and we got backstage passes to all the ITV production crew! When he finished we towed it away.

I would still go without all this though. Good value, high action.

 

Should really go watch at Oulton park one of these days, its only a short drive from me.

 

Racing today in Snetterton, first race at 12:10 on ITV 4

 

Only managed to watch bits and bobs of todays races, bugger!

 

was an awesome weekend, as per usual

 

When the next race anyone?

 

Knockhill today! Chilton is on pole which is a bit of a surprise...
