I've only just started watching the BTCC again. I used to be a big fan in the nineties, with the sprint and feature race, mandatory pit stops, Murray Walker (then Charlie Cox). I even have a bit of John Clellands Vauhall from an off at Knockhill (might have been 1998 or 9).

But i moved away for a few years, and since coming back have only seen bits and pieces. Its still good racing, but the success ballast, reversed grid and lack of works cars are quite irritating. Still, at least they don't have the production cars running at the back anymore.

Are there any plans for more manufacturers to join the series? I'll settle for any rumours though.

Good to see the BTCC getting proper coverage again as well.
