Agree 100% about Plato being a complete bell end in that race, also recall him cutting a few corner too. Both BTCC and DTM are great motorsports competitions I suppose its a case of each to there own and all that.

Absolutely!!!

Love that BMW

Expect carnage at the Brand Hatch DTM round 18-19th May.

Taking part in the Volkswagen Scirocco R-Cup support race will be Damon Hill, Mark Blundell, Perry McCarthy, Martin Donnelly, Julian Bailey and David Brabham.

That'll keep the local panel beaters in business till the BTCC return.

Full HD 2012 DTM race from the Lausitzring for anyone that missed it.
German commentary but it's the whole thing.

What was that, only about 6 cars managing to not run off track at the first corner?

This weekend's 3rd race in the V8 Supercars had an absolutely brilliant finish:

Hope that the DTM can mimic this kind of racing with the new regulations.

It's not always live though is it? I don't have ESPN, but have read a few people grumbling about it not being on live and was on later at night.

Watched the highlights of the first race on Sky Sports earlier and it was alright. Nice cars, quality drivers, but I preferred the two race format they used to run prior to 2004 or whenever it was. The TV coverage needs improving. All those high cameras give no real sense of speed.

Not sure if you are talking in general or particular but it is a particular problem at Lausitzring because you can't get trackside for part of the track and so have to rely on 64x lenses in the gods.

It is a bit of an F1 thing though where they get all beef jerky over the big wides, but there they have 11tybillion trackside cameras to play with.

No I was talking about Hockenheim. Haven't seen Lausitz yet, but I know that has it's limitations with the layout. Hockenheim had far too many cameras on cranes for my liking.

O.

Well then there is no excuse then for not having a number of low cameras for the speed effect.
