There are a number of options, not limited to the following:

1. You go to a Bank (any high street one will do), put on a balaclava, remove you shotgun from the bag, pass over a note demanding the entire contents of the vault, run like hell and hope that you don't get caught.

2. Go to Holland. Collect a large consignment of class A drugs, hide them in your transporter. Bring them back to Dover. Hope you don't get caught.

3. After your release from jail after getting caught doing 2, Buy a load more class A drugs and attempt to sell them to an undercover customs officer at South Mimms Services.

4. Discover you have a father in the top 100 of The Sunday Times Rich List

5. Convince the extremely gullible CEO of a Multi-National company that you are the next best ting to Lewis Hamilton and to give you 1 million pounds. Spend it on a couple of Red Ex-WTCC cars and then drive round at the bank before crashing into everyone as they pass you.

6. Start your own company, spend 25 years building up the business, then spend your companies past 5 years profits on running your own BTCC Team, whilst bankrupting the company.

7. Start your own company, spend 25 years building it up, amass a multi-million pound fortune, then spend some of it winding up the works teams and getting right up their noses as you wipe the floor with them in your own designed and built car.

8. Pitch a tent on Ian Harrison's front lawn, dig tunnels under his house and refuse to go until he gives you a drive.

9. Get a really high-powered job, then convince all of your suppliers that you won't buy their products unless they sponsor you to drive a BTCC car.

10. Win the Lotto

11. Get your parents to re-mortgage their house in Surrey, cash in their pension fund, get all of their savings, sell your Grandmother to white slavers and your sister's kidney to a rich American, give all the money to a spiv car-dealer for a 5 year old BTCC car, run around at the back for half a season, get told "oh well, That's motorsport" when it breaks down every race and then disappear to the poor house.

12. have more Jam than Hartleys

some (but not all of the above) are tried and tested methods and MAY be patented by past and current BTCC Drivers. One thing that will not guarantee you a drive in the BTCC is talent, that is just optional, not a necessity.

Jon2211,

this is brilliant!

Although I am just a fan, I have had the good fortune to talk to quite a lot pf people in BTCC and think I can recognise just about everyone of the cases you offer as a route to BTCC.

Stock Hatch. If you find you are in fact rubbish, give up.

Number five sounds familiar...
