The closest move I can remember was Priaulx in race 2, and that was more a case of bashing door handles (the way it should be).
    Yes, it's much better these days. Priaulx and Turkington in particular set an excellent example.

    I do agree. Indeed, the BTCC is the only racing series in which I can get interested these days, for exactly that reason. The racing is good and the driver line-up of a high quality. Even so, I don't think it's inappropriate to criticise certain elements.

    Well, quite. I may have been rather harsh.

    Completely missed round one this year. Hope to get on track (pun intended) and catch Round 2.

    I agree with those saying all the jumbling of grids is wrong.

    In any category I believe it should always be fastest driver on pole and then fastest in race wins.

    Many might think thats wrong or boring, but its motorsport. Not motor "show"
    I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy
