50 years of the BTCC
Was I the only person to think it a bit odd for ITV to be marking 50 years of the BTCC this year?
In my book, the important thing is not the 50th year of something, but the 50th anniversary of that something, if you see what I mean! Surely the 50th anniversary of the first British Saloon Car Championship race, which occurs in 2008, is the one to celebrate?

Youre not the only one - I thought it was odd too. They're a year too early.

Most definately. All literature including BTCC.net website states that it offically started in 1958. Or it is a couple of yaer too late if it was for the start of Saloon car championships, as there were a few small club championships pre 1957.
Cleland is a legend. :cool:
