Bit harsh?daanThis is the BTCC thread. Not the WTCC or the DTM thread.

I think they were only comparing the sports to the BTCC and how the Btcc is doing better. Its hardly off topic![]()
Now back on topic. I just realised something. I saw Dan Welch Proton being towed away from the circuit in Race 1 from last weekend's race but only now realising that they weren't even in Race 2 and 3. I heard that on Saturday he had a driveshaft problem but was it the same thing that haunted him for Sunday too?
Drive shaft eventually put a hole in the gearbox. Guessing they didn't have a spare for the race.
Pictures from a very wet and windy Thruxton are here. I'm still feeling my way around flickr and haven't worked out how to embed images yet, so for now you'll just have to click the link.
You just click on share, then select grab the html/bbcode, select the bbcode button, and chose your size. Then just copy'n'paste the text into a post.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet as I'm sure many BTCC fans would be pleased to hear we finally have a new game to play!

I haven't tried iRacing yet so this news only encourages me further to try it one day. Not to mention it already features Brands Hatch, Silverstone and Oulton Park (and soon Donington Park)!
I still wish Codemasters or someone would finally make a new BTCC game though. I keep imagining F1 2010/2011 with BTCC teams/tracks/cars instead.
Still lacking a game which features Knockhill though, I don't think I've played one since ToCA 1 on the PS1 and I don't think I've played one with Oulton Park since ToCA Racer Driver 3.
I got a horrible feeling the next Nascar game by Eutechnyx may be PC only with the way the IndyCar and now Touring Car franchises are going. Slightly disappointing for console players.
Race 3 is going to be broadcast online rather than on ITV4 due to a clash with the live tennis.
RARNews for this weekend at Oulton Park.
Rob Austin will sit out this round due to damage sustained at Thruxton and a Lack of parts. However single seater racer Will Bratt will race the other second RAR Audi.
With the engine problems that have destroyed the last two meetings for the team cured and new engines we fully expect Will to display the true pace of the Audi which has not yet been seen this season due to a cautious run at Brands and engine issues. Whilst we are sad not to have Rob out as well, he is still searching for Sponsorship and we expect to have a pair of Audis out at Croft!
