Fantastic racing in the slippy conditions. Really enjoyed today's racing

I'd have enjoyed it more if I had taken a coat or an umbrella, but the racing was good.

First race was good with butchers fight, good to see them trying it on itv to get the popularity up.

Ah so BTC Racing sponsored by Rich Energy….
Also nuts I missed today completely apart from end of Race 2.

Anyone please feel free to keep this updated

Another good set of races, annoying that ITV split it up and then HUB was all messed up on the re-plays. Took a while to actually watch it all. I also love watching the support races, the Mini JCW are awesome fun to watch, I have been pricing up racing in the Cooper class myself, see how that goes.

Same - some great battles, and those with the best car control largely prevailed

Yep the main ITV linkup will likely add some more money (as evidenced by the Goodyear blimp flying and providing aerial camera shots for the first time)

Brave to take them after the F1 drama - I'm still not convinced the product actually exists

Also womens fa cup was on bbc yesterday so suspect it was an attempt to gain some viewing share.

I've actually got myself tickets for Oulton Park this year. I'd planned on going a couple years ago but then obviously covid happened and I've not been in years before that so should be good fun!

Thruxton this weekend!
My local track

Sadly not going this year

Me and some friends are heading to Thruxton this weekend, first time in a really long time - very excited

Just watched race 2
What a move by Cook on Hill in the opening lap!

Just a note for those watching the BTCC this weekend (Oulton Park) that it's again split between ITV and ITV4.

ITV: 12:10-15:10
ITV4: 15:05-18:35

Oulton Park was good fun yesterday. Can't believe it's been so long since I last went to the BTCC! We spent the first few races on the inside of Druids then moved round to Knickerbrook for the last races. I'll have to watch the highlights online though as I only heard what happened with the Ginetta race over the tannoy!

@Street - some great shots there. Was a great day's racing (as indeed the whole season of BTCC has been so far), so definitely worth watching the highlights
