    Danish Touring Cars

    Made the trip to see the Danish Touring Cars at Sturup in Sweden at the weekend.

    And I am glad to tell everyone that touring car racing is doing well in Europe!

    26 cars.
    6 manufacturers.
    BMW, Chevrolet, Honda, Peugeot, Seat and Toyota.
    Star name drivers, Jason Watt, Jan Magnussen and John Nielsen.

    There is so much enthusiasm from everyone involved... Plus, everyone I spoke to, could speak English!

    It is well worth a visit... I'm going back!

    Thanks.

    The Peugeot's, five of them, are not race winners, but, they did not disgrace themselves. Midfield, just outside the top ten!

    Not all. BMW, Seat and Peugeot have works teams. There may even be two works BMW teams..
    Interestingly enough, they have two independent Leon’s running!
    One independent team is running FOUR BMW's and a Toyota Corolla.

    Very similar to the BTCC. Although overtaking was difficult on the tight track, it did happen.

    This is how the first two cars crossed the line at the end of race 1!...http://www.stillphotography.co.uk/ga...a_001.jpg.html

    Wow. I love the Corolla!

    I wonder why DTC and WTCC Seat teams paint that big fake grille on the front of the car. It looks very strange because it overlaps the other 'grilles'.

    This is the way it should look

    But this looks awful.

    At least the UK team doesnt do it!

    That front bumper was used early 2006.
    They changed it during the season to this on the WTCC cars. http://www.stillphotography.co.uk/ga...7972W.jpg.html
    And this on the BTCC cars. http://www.stillphotography.co.uk/ga...0553w.jpg.html

    The 2007 BTCC cars have the same front end. But have painted their's diffently. http://www.stillphotography.co.uk/ga...7525w.jpg.html
    The 2007 WTCC cars look like this! http://i.eurosport.com/2007/03/14/344512.jpg

    I think there are a herd of Leons running round the world - just how many chassis' have they actually built?!

    How cool would it be to see a couple of Castrol 407 GTi's racing in the BTCC!
