Oulton was the first meeting I've got to this season, so I don't know what the crowds have been like elsewhere, but this weekend was the busiest BTCC meeting I have ever seen. The official website is reporting over 40,000 attendance, which doesn't surprise me.

It did make me wonder how busy the first three meetings have been? This was by far the biggest Oulton crowd and I'm interested if its a trend or not, as in terms of general media exposure and promotion its been pretty stagnant over the last few years, yet it seems the crowd figures are going up and up.

Sure the weather certainly helped, but most Oulton meetings recently have been pretty good as well.
