So 5 weeks break has past and the btcc is back at personally the best track on the calendar. Various teams have been testing including motorbase/Honda/mg.

The 3rd ngtc focus has been finished and out testing unknown if it will be racing at brands but highly unlikely that caine will be driving.

Andy neate is supposed to join the grid in his own teams ngtc cruze.

The 2n Passat is nearing completion too but not certain if the car will be out.

So first btcc event this year for me going up with my father and mate of ours hoping the weather keeps up like this which will certainly bring out the crowds.

On a more sadder note Les Hayes she ran website for btcc drivers and support race drivers and a regular in the paddock in every btcc event. Known by a lot up and down the btcc grid don't know her personally has passed away during the weekend.
RIP Les Hayes.

Anyone else making the trip up?

I go to most of the BTCC rounds and will be at Oulton Park as usual with two of my boys.Should be a good weekend and will be leaving Cardiff between 8-9am so should get there for BTCC practice two and watch I think will be five races on Saturday afternoon.Staying in a hotel on Saturday night then back to Oulton Park for all day Sunday and back home at about 9pm to watch the Canadian Formula 1.

Its my wifes Birthday on the Sunday and as I go the the BTCC and stay in hotels with two of my boys she thinks its ok for her to go to Tenerife with my daughter and other son for a week to celebrate her Birthday and she has done this for the last three years.

Hopefully sunny weather and good racing also peace and quiet for a week.Does not get much beter than this.

Think I've just won a pair of tickets to this. Can't wait. I'd been thinking about going anyway, but this seals it!

It's my dad's 60th on Sunday so I'm treating him to a trip to the races. We've been going to BTCC at Oulton since the Group A days so it's something of a family tradition.

It's hard to look past the Hondas and MGs at the moment. Tordoff looked mega in the Porsche at Oulton last year so maybe he'll get a win over the weekend.

I have a hospitality box over looking the first corner at Oulton Park and due to a company not paying the bill I dont have any time to fill it now for this weekend so it will be empty which is really annoying. If any one is looking for a reduced price entry ticket then please email me chris (at) Absolutemedia.co.uk
