Truck Racing - BTRA?

Anyone follow this?

Thinking of heading down to Donington in July and taking the old man - we always enjoy the touring cars there and figure this will be just as entertaining.


What else is usually on the race schedule, is it a full program?

Spent the day at an absolutely soaking wet Donington yesterday.

Very enjoyable day and a pretty big crowd until mid afternoon.

The mini's were a good bit of fun to watch.

The Legends were great - really enjoyed them - Great series, great racing.

The Pickups - a little disappointed with them to be honest - nowhere near as much close racing as I expected.

Britcar - 1st race on Sunday was brilliant - it coincided with the start of the really heavy rain - so despite the race including an Aquis supercar, an Evo 9, a Boxster, two Marcos Mantis, a Golf, a Sagaris an M3 and a Lambo - what I expected to turn into a procession of a variety of different cars strung out around the track turned into a very exciting race.

Possibly a little too long at 45 minutes but great fun to watch the Evo lead in the wet, the Aquis fly round at stupid speeds before exiting into the gravel, and the Golf duelling with the Sagaris before the Lambo took the win.

The first truck race was sadly cut short by three red flags, several accidents and finally a driver being taken to hospital - but it was great to see and feel the huge things racing round!

For 15 quid a head what a great day out.
