Default anyone watch BTCC?

Ok so it is a FWD car but still impressive - if you've ever been to brands you know from the top of paddock hill bend its more like a cliff than the gentle slope it looks like on TV! you certainly wouldn't want to be sideways in anything at 100mph going down there

its refreshing to watch BTCC after all the F1 drama

don't try that one at home kiddies.

Plato is a hell of a driver.
Used to like to watch it when speedtv would cover it.

Speaking of Brands Hatch....the new game Race Pro for Xbox is amazing! You can do what Plato did digitally in the same exact car!

Well I used to...

But now our SPEED channel gives us mostly stupid NASCAR crap and great racing like this is not readily available.

When ever I see BTCC I realize just how great "stock car" racing could be, crying shame NASCAR developed into the circle and crash boys and not something as fantastic as this.

Awesome video, thanks so much for sharing!
