Back to the BTCC

Captain Sisko · 05-07-2008, 14:26

Well te BTCC kicks off next week

Who is off to Oulton Pk on the 27th July?

k04 · 06-07-2008, 20:57

Not me but wouldn't it be cool if Skoda entered a car in the BTCC!

mlister5500 · 06-07-2008, 21:24

btcc started in april

k04 · 06-07-2008, 21:31

I prefered the good 'ol days of the 'Auto Trader BTCC'

when it was john cleland,tim harvey alain menu,joe winkelhock,steve soper,gabrieli tarquini

Touring cars now have lost it a bit compared to then IMO

stil good to watch tho

Captain Sisko · 07-07-2008, 09:53

I meant back after the 1 Month break.

The BTCC has lost a bit of the good old days but its getting back!!
It used to be awesome when you had all those different cars plus the drivers.

Rydell, Tarquini, Menu and Thompson are in the WTCC now I think.
Soper and smokin Joe retired.
I don't know what happened to Bintcliff and Biela though

mlister5500 · 07-07-2008, 12:10

oh ok sorry,
im a big fan of btcc but i think there should be bigger variety of manufacturers entering

Fezboy · 07-07-2008, 12:33

I'm not going but all the whole days racing is shown on ITV4 so that's where I will be

Captain Sisko · 07-07-2008, 13:44

This weekend I'll be watching it on ITV 4 but I'll be at Oulton Pk on the 27th!

Silverstone looks like a good place to go
Free parking and open paddock

hmmmm

Dr Zoidberg · 13-07-2008, 17:14

I've just watched the first two races - all good stuff , especially the first half of the second race. What's it like to spectate at Snetterton? Good view of the track?

I'll be at Oulton Park as well. I enjoyed it last year

Captain Sisko · 15-07-2008, 01:39

I'll see you on the 27th!!!

I've no idea what to expect or what time to get there yet.

Saw the races yesterday.
Glad they didnt show the Carrera cup but we missed the crash that damaged the barrier.

Gio shows his metal by overtaking on the outside
Mat Jackson was unlucky after nudging Matt Neal then almost getting nuidged right off the track himself!!! He had a superb 3rd race though.
Andrew Jordan didnt have too good a time either.

The Seats stormed in the first races but then were problematic on the 3rd unfortunatly.

Am looking forward to the 27th though!!

It's not the most exciting series is it

It was a shame that both the Seats had the same serious problems in the third race.

As SWMBO said, "Giovanardi must have put water in their diesel"

Captain Sisko · 15-07-2008, 21:00

Or Tesco Octane 99 as advertised on Platos and Turners race overalls

Wet Kipper · 15-07-2008, 21:02

was considering going to watch at Knockhill, but think I have family commitments that weekend

Captain Sisko · 15-07-2008, 23:11

Knockhills too far for me unless I get a cash windfall,
will record that one.

wanna go Silverstone and Brands though!!!!

Hi i'l be there all weekend as i'm in orange as usual will be trackside at 11:30 on sunday as does not start till 12.

I suggest you get in early and get a good spec good place to see most of the circuit from is cascades so park there and walk round as some of you will know or old hall this is entertaining to watch at the start of the races.

Vik
can't wait either for next week

even tho i'll probably be ducking out the way like last year lol.

Captain Sisko · 20-07-2008, 08:36

What are the facilities like?

Am planning on taking butties and some snacks to munch whilst watching the racing if thats allowed or will there be burger vans and stuff there?

There's all the usual burger vans and so on , but absolutely no issues with taking your own food.

There are always people with folding chairs , huge picnic bags and even small camping stoves sat on the bank on the outfield overlooking the west side of the track.

Captain Sisko · 20-07-2008, 22:47

Thanks Doctor!!!

missp · 24-07-2008, 22:42

Not been since it was the good old Autotrader, went to Brands every year without fail as a kid living down in Kent.

Time i introduced my monster me thinks... or is 2 too young to go watch the brum brums? Gotta figure out where the nearest one to me is now.

It's never too young to take take them, the earlier they're hooked the better

Every race day I've been to there's been loads of toddlers though it'll be a good idea to invest in some ear defenders as it may be too loud for them.

I suppose the nearest one to you would be Silverstone on the 31st Aug. Ticket prices include covered grandstand seating as well. Bonus!
