BTCC - British Touring Car Championship

[lightmas]

The British Touring Car Championship was really exiting in 2009....just look at this ONE race



2009 champ - Colin Turkington

[midgrid]

I don't have digital TV so I couldn't watch this year's TV coverage; I'm looking forward to the DVD release!

It was an incredible three-way championship fight this year. I was glad that Colin Turkington won it, as I've been a fan of WSR since they started running MGs back in 2001.

Hopefully Johnny Herbert can do a full season in 2010 as well.

[lightmas]

Yea.....i agree...i hope JH stays for a full season

what you think of the video above?

[Zag]

BTCC has always been exciting... rarely a dull race....

[lightmas]

yea...very true

sometimes i wonder why i watch f1

[emziibbyx]

Matt Hamilton should do a full season in 2010 - he's a kind of friend of mine.

[Zag]

yea...very true

sometimes i wonder why i watch f1

Any racing is good... F1 is great....

[emziibbyx]

Ohoh and Tim Bridgman should be given a drive cos he's "My Big Bruvva"
(lol Tim & I go waaayy back, he really is like a brother to me!)

[Zag]

Is there anyone in motor racing that you don't know??

Perhaps you are really Bernie...

[lightmas]

I dont know anyone

[Zag]

Thats because nobody wants to know you....

[lightmas]

i know...its a hard life

Haha, nah I'm not The Troll.
But yeah I just realised I know a lot of people...

[Zag]

i know...its a hard life

I guess it is hard if you are unpopular... but I wouldn't really know...

[lightmas]

i know..it sucks

ontopic..

how will the current champ perforum next season

[Zag]

I think Turkington is a fine driver and will do well... but any of this years top four or five could win the championship
depending of course on what they are driving!!

Personally I always route for Plato just because he has racing in his blood and takes no prisoners...

[lightmas]

yea..i like Plato...he was amazing at the final round winning all three races......

There is no driver I dislike

As an outside...if like Herbert to win it

He was, brilliant!!

Me niether... and I hope Johnny does well, I have always liked the guy... reminds me of a British Heikki...

[emziibbyx]

I love Turk, he's an amazing driver.

I used to be a HUGE fan of Tom Chilton; but when I got an autograph from him, he just ignored me... what a douche.

Ohoh and Tim Bridgman should be given a drive cos he's "My Big Bruvva"
(lol Tim & I go waaayy back, he really is like a brother to me!)

He's going to the Porsche Supercup next year, isn't he? If he plays his cards right he could end up driving for Porsche at Le Mans.

[emziibbyx]

Indeed he is going to Porsche Supercup for 2010 ^^

I love him like a brother, and I'm proper pleased that he's finally doing his career justice + climbing up the motorsport ladder. If you followed British F3 in 2005 or knew what was going on then you'll know why I praise him for how he's turning up the heat dial on his career cooker.

I know this sounds so selfish of me; but I'm going to miss My Big Bruv, I won't have anyone to hang around with or be able to shelter in their tent/garage at BTCC meetings now!

[MCL2k10]

Yah, I had been watching BTCC until 2007, then the stupid MotorsTV guys decided not to air it anymore
Used to be a huge Matt Neal fan, and I remember I hated VXR racing
I found that it was maybe the most exciting series, compared to the other touring cars (DTM and WTCC).
I also heard that Fabritio Giovanardi will not drive in BTCC next year... real shame

Now with new satellite thing, I hope I will find a channel next year, where to follow the races... UK people, is there any suggestion???

[Jarnooo]

One HD shows BTCC albeit delayed. I watched the Rockingham round I think 3 times.........i guess they have nothing better to show

[midgrid]

I guess the main broadcaster for the next year will be ITV4 again, which isn't a satellite channel. You can always buy the season review DVDs though, which are very long (and spread across two discs in recent years!).

[emziibbyx]

I don't like the ITV4 coverage. I much prefer when it was on MotorsTV.
