Anyone watch them, pretty decent between GP's imo

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

BTCC is terrific entertainment. Preferred the spec of the cars in the Super Touring era of the 1990s, but for overtaking and enjoyment value it is excellent.

Don't really watch DTM, although read about it on the Autosport website and in the magazine Was great di Resta won it last year, shame DC is still pish.

Was a big fan of touring cars back in the day... Think I started watching it when the Volvo Estate was in full force (comical to see it racing!) - Alain Menu was my hero.

Appears to have lost alot of popularity and sponsorship since my last trip to Knockhill but I intend to make the trip this year as it was a fantastic day out last time.

Good to see Matt Neal leading the charge, had the plesure of speaking to him at Knockhill.

Dunno if I like the 3 race format... More entertainment for the spectators but seems to devalue each race?

yeah i see ur point about the devaluation but i do like that there are simply more races, plus with all the junior formula inbetween i think its a good wath (really like the formula renaults).

I'm 50 / 50 with DTM as i always think its going to be more exciting than it actually is, there's so much aero on the cars that they have the same issues as formula 1 had.
