    Thumbs up 2010 Calendar

    Surely the two Brands Hatch dates are the wrong way round??

    After this season's brilliant climax on the GP circuit they must surely go for that again?? The Indy circuit isn't a patch on the full one.

    I disagree! I love watching at the Indy circuit. It's fast and furious action, you can see almost the whole lap from Paddock Hill grandstand and you see the cars more often because there are more laps.

    BTCC on the Indy circuit is never without incident!

    For TV then the Grand Prix circuit is best. For being at the track the Indy circuit cannot be beaten! The closest the BTCC comes to an oval. (Rockingham uses the infield so it's a long way from being an oval!)

    I was hoping to go to a BTCC race for a bit of stag party before I get married. But the only race before then is Thruxton. Which is in the middle of nowhere. Crap. Massively far away and crap

    Well obviously you need to reschedule the wedding!
    Where are your priorities Mark?

    Thruxton is crap?


    Brands/Indy is the best track for title showdown.

    Purely from my own point of view of attending BTCC races at all the current tracks. Thruxton was the worst.

    I would've thought the Campbell/Cobb complex and the Club chicane as the best places to watch.

    I've never been to Thruxton before.`

    interesting calender, would have prefered Brands GP as finale, but the GP date has probably been moved to May to replace what was this year a May A1 GP meeting on the GP track, and no round next year.

    shame, but brands is the best place for the finale, so get set for an awesome 2010 season!

    donny as penultimate round will be good on the new circuit, anyone know what circuit it will be on? porbs not the full GP track, but there are several configurations it could be on, be interesting to know which one.
    Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.

    Its one of the best places ive watched from as you can see the cars for ages and you usually get a few desperate lunges up the inside
