A week before this race I was at the track with my father at a machinery auction,in the early morning there were some touring cars already running set ups and testing/practise.as a16 year old lad ,suddenly ifting and recovery equipment no longer held any interest,I was rooted to the fence in line with the start-finish line and just watched intently,the speed and noise was tremendous even with just the few cars running,lateraround 1-2 pm after the track had gone quiet I wandered off to find my father,then I heard another car start and by the time I had made it back to my spot,the car had gone,it soonreappeared and I seem to remember it being a mitsubishi,then that Sierra appeared from behind it going like stink with smoke pouring off the rears at about 100 mph,oh the noise! a fantastic unexpected day out.BTW while at the auction along with the truck we went to purchase originally my father bought a 1970's ford super major 5000 with a shovel and back bucket,he carried out a full nut and bolt restoration on it and still owns it,Christ knows why as he is into motorcycles!

Two classes; one for engines under 2.5 L, the other over 2.5 L Just like classic IMSA.

The UK needs something like this again, instead of yawn inducing BTCC!

You obviously haven't watched BTCC for a few years then, how many championships go down to the final race of the final meet? How many cameramen have you seen knocked from their podium by barrel rolling cars in other series?

Whatever happened to touring car? It used to be the most exciting racing on four wheels. Id rather watch a girder rust than watch it now! Bit like F1.

@@InitialP_Photography Current BTCC is a disgrace! Boring cars, non entity drivers. The only reason it gets such good crowds is because of the shunts!

When they're going through the grid positions (3:20), does anyone know the name of the background music?

Awful commentary. Also, it’s a shame they didn’t have a graphic for the entire driver line-up.
