I've just remembered the heap o' tyres barrier incidents from Church at Thruxton last year. Have they done anything about installing a proper barrier there now?
I'm not sure what the remedy was. But it would probably be safer to remove the barrier and bushes and let errant cars filter onto the A303.Jayyylo said:

They've put in a better barrier (not difficult) which is a conveyor belt tyre wall, albeit unsecured, and they've removed some of the trees. It's an improvement but apparently there's more to come over the next winter where they'll reprofile the runoff. It would have been nice if they'd done it for this season but still, at least they spent £80k over the winter resurfacing some of the outer paddock so it looks nicer

What a trouble making fool louise is. Here we have two young drivers where they both had an off because smith misjudged the length of his car and as a result finished well below where they should have finished, they are mature enough to shake hands and be professional and smith acknowledges and apologies for his mistake, but louise is not happy about this and wants a handbags session so stays poking to try get a reaction.
No wonder people dicredit the series if thats what the tv presenter wants

Indeed.
Not really surprised to see that the BTCC will not be racing at Macau at the end of the season!

Pie in the sky thinking from the start. Considering 10+ years ago they stopped using mondello park due to the loss of a certain sponser that paid for the transportation costs to get there.http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/118693
Also what would any btcc teams gain from going over there to race against a bunch of unknown drivers with a series that has only been set up this year.
