Can't wait for the btcc to start we should be going To the rockingham rounds, plus a few more

 

[N0ddie]

Cant wait for this. After the disappointment of the first F1 race of the season I reckon more people will be watching this.

Cant beat it for entertainment value.

thinking about going to the opener at thruxton. Clio cup is there too

Yea should be a good season this year, particularly liking the look of the new AMDMilltek team's golf:

 

[Adrian]

I will be going to Rockingham and Donington if the track is useable by then

 

[SteBurns]

Are there any teams left in it? lol

Haven't really followed BTCC lately, I just keep hearing of teams dropping out despite it's popularity. If it's purely down to cost of running a team maybe they should cap it to encourage more manufacturers to compete. I remember back in the 90's most teams were in there having a go!

Other than turbo engine testing and the AMD Golf, any other gossip for this season?

other cost cappings i think are - standard gearbox & brakes

and talk of using bigger wheels
