Nah, that'd be too simple. :D

There four types of eligible cars for 2011 :

BTC (2001 regs) - 2001 regulations, allowed for 2011 only with a weight penalty. None currently entered. Car had to have raced in 2010 which limits the choice to Honda Integra or the Vauxhall Astra Coupe.

NGTC - Toyota, Audi, Vauxhall Insignia (when it appears)

S2000 (WTCC regs) - Chevy, BMW

S2000 with NGTC engine - Honda, Vauxhall Vectra, Both Fords, VW
 
Good racing today as said above!

Some great drives today from Boardman and Onslow Cole.

Andrew Jordan is my underdog favourite driver, he still has stuff to learn but is improving quick!

That Vectra he is driving is IMO the best car on the grid, with the budget of the works teams and their driving experience it would be well out front. Last year Giovanardi schooled everyone with it at Thruxton didn't he in an 888 backed car!
 
Had to lol at Plato's upside down Silverline logo, taking the mick out of his roll at the last race :D

Looked a good day of racing, didn't go in the end as none of my mates fancied it and I wasn't up for going on my own really.

Watched it all on TV though, some highly entertaining racing going on.
 
I'm going to Oulton Park Tomorrow with my Dad and Brother.
Having never been to one before, has anyone got any tips?

Where to watch from.
What to take (chairs, raincoats etc)
what time to get there.

etc..

Any advice welcome, thanks. :)

I would take a camping chair, a coat or brolly and some buttys.

Can probably watch on the grass between Dentons and Clay Hill.

You can see them come from your left then from Old Hall (first corner) along towards you then left and head away from you down towards Shell. Will lose sight of the cars, then they will come back towards you, over the hill and down towards the chicane at Knickerbrook (expect crashes here) and then up Clay hill on your right and into the start of Druids.

Cheers for that Berger, was thinking about trying to watch from somewhere near the North East (Lodge Corner) or South West ( Knicker Brook) I'll take my camera too but I'm not expecting the pics I take to be anything special.

What would be a good time to get there? Traffic going there and also in the car park, Considering it's only about an hour away and it opens at 7am, but the first race isn't until 12:15
