Ten makes of car representing Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, Honda, Proton, SEAT, Toyota, Vauxhall and Volkswagen will all feature on this year’s flourishing grid.

Really looking forward to it this year, plenty of cars and hopefully plenty of action. Might try and make it to Thruxton this year.

What are your thoughts ?
 
Looks like a British drivers only entry list which is excellent.

It's the first season that's really grabbed by interest since the mid 90s. Hopefully will make it to Donington and Oulton.
 
Yeah for sure. I went off it a few years back but I will be keenly following it this year. I just hope the racing is exciting.

Tipping Chilton / Neal for the title.
 
I love it when a plan comes together. Gf is going to her mums on Sunday leaving me with all day free to stock up on nachos and beer and watch the ITV live coverage all day: )

Ah nice one. I nearly fell over after this conversation....

Me : We are not planning to do anything Sunday ?

Missus : No, I suspect we'll be hung over so we can chill all day.

Me : Oh ideal, I wont be up for anything as the Touring cars starts this weekend but its on from 11am - 6pm.

Missus : Yeah that's cool, we could chill out on the sofa and watch it together as I like the Touring cars...........

Me : "raised eyebrow" :eek: :cool: :D
 
Used to follow BTCC religiously - but got bored when the field was just a few different model/car, glad to see they have changed it back , even went to a few races at Oulten Park

This season looks like it could be interesting again
