BTCC Brands Hatch

Just finished watching this afternoon's BTCC action, quite shocked as it was great First 2 races wern't bad, Giovanardi did well in both But the third race bloody hell! Fantastic racing by alot of people, except Plato who was upto his usual tricks of taking out Onslow-Cole. Chilton was on a good mission, Matt Neal pulling off a great sudden move to get past Jordan, but the battle between Matt Jackson and Colin Turkington was really something else! Really close all race and the final corner manover, really thought Jackson had him round the outside! Just needed a few more inches of road in the end. These RWD BMW's are great fun to watch

Credit to ITV too finally making use of their other channels, now showing the whole day of BTCC action on ITV4 like Sentanta does which is great

I only heard about this 30 minutes ago, to catch BTCC round 3 with only about 10 laps to go! Great battle at the end. Do you know if ITV will show that many different races every week now?

Seems that all races except Snetterton and Oulton Park will be shown like that Check here - [www.btcc.net]

Now they've finally able to show ITV4 before 7pm, they are probably struggling to find enough rubbish repeats to put on 3 channels, so thought that BTCC would be a good day filler

Nice one ITV 3 BTCC races, Clio Cup, British F3 and Porsche series all in 5 hours! I think I'll be tuning into ITV4 on Sunday on a more regular basis. I know it's not as big a scale as F1 or other motorsports but the coverage they provide is really great, and the races arent too bad either

Circuit Thermalito

Liverpool Waterfront Circuit (WIP)

Just got back! What a wicked day! Unfortunately my main man Chilton got knocked back to nineth from 5th by Matt Neil in R1 and then knocked out completely by Turkington in R2 but he fought back brilliantly in the final race so I'm dead chuffed. One of the best BTCC meets I've been to and now I get to watch it all again! Cheers ITV.

Anyone else think those BMWs looked unstoppable? Jackson I think is a real title contendor if not the early favorite

I thought it was great. I haven't watched BTCC for years, and I wasn't disappointed. I agree- the BMWs look good for this year. However, they need to work on their wet weather pace.

race 3 was bloody brilliant! watched the whole afternoon at my mates flat, was class! COME ON MAT JACKSON!!! (and chilton!)

formula renaults take the piss!

Giovanardi's move on Matt Jackson in the first race was something special I thought. He was well beyond the limit there and they didn't make contact. The BTCC seems to be getting better and better each year recently. Hopefully the other drivers will follow suit and loose the 'tap and pass' attitude too.
