i love it on itv4.....then again iv never seen it on other channels....

the best thing is the show all of the support races, and the show is on for like 7 hours

i usually record and just watch the 3 BTCC races live

Any WTCC fans here...how does it compare to BTCC

New Dunlop tyre for BTCC in 2010

A new specification of Dunlop tyre will be introduced in next year's British Touring Car Championship.

The new rubber, which conforms to new EU environmental regulations relating to oil usage, has been developed since the middle of 2008 and has already proven in tests to be faster over a race distance than its predecessor, and more durable.

It was given a thumbs up from drivers after two days of running at Snetterton in October and will be used from the second round of next season's championship, at Rockingham, onwards.

This is because Thruxton, which hosts the season opener in April, requires a special one-off construction to deal with the extra stresses created by the succession of fast right-handers.

BTCC starts this weekend..woot woot Its on after the early Malaysian GP.

Sad news that the 2009 champ Colin Turkington has lost his personal sponsor..therefor has no money to race. I shall have to find a new driver to support. I think Plato.
