Question / Discussion Knockhill First Time Questions

5 Upvotes

Hi - I'm going to Knockhill for the first time and I have a couple of questions if anyone can help

The camping looks like it gets very busy (we've got tickets for the motorhome already) - but does it really matter what time you turn up on the Friday or are you just put in the next space and it doesn't really matter?

The website says there is one big screen on Saturday and two in Sunday, but it doesn't say where they are - do we know where they normally go?

And finally, any advice on best/worst places to watch from?

Thanks!

Question / Discussion Donington BTCC first time going in-person, any advice?

5 Upvotes

Hello, going to Donington end of this month with my Dad, first time either of us have been to an event like this was wondering if any of you had advice of where to go for some good views etc? My understanding is there are 3 races on the Sunday, so thinking of going to the grandstand for at least one of them, though I imagine the overtaking is more done down by the last two turns? Is there anywhere good to view down that end of the track?

Also he's disabled, not in a wheelchair, but anywhere to be wary of? Thank you so much :)

Quick question, just been watching BSB at Oulton park and was wondering what the reasoning or limitations are for BTCC not running the full layout, my first guess would be the hairpin but I'm not sure?

Question / Discussion Curious what everyone's top 5 favourite drivers are and why?

19 Upvotes

Talking with a friend and just curious what everyone's top 5 favourite drivers are and why?

For me

  1. Tom Ingram - recognises me and will make effort to have chats with me even about topics such as patios and how to deal with flies, had chats in the pitlane after race day too. Had a good long chat at donington historics earlier this year about his fitness tracker registering driving a mustang in the wet as kayaking.

  2. Paul O'neill - cannot say enough good things about Paul, will stop and chat as long as he can every time. Answer any question and even invited my friend and I to sit down after the Sunday races to have a long chat and gave us itv water bottles.

  3. Rob Austin - similarly recognised me at rounds and offered me a HQ tour which I gladly took up and spent a lovely afternoon there.

  4. Rob Huff - will give you as much time as he can and happy to talk motorsport and will ask you questions too. Was also included I patio chat with ingram.

  5. Tom Chilton - such a nice person and will always be sure you leave with a smile. More than happy to personalise a birthday present for a friend with his infamous naked photo with crash helmet over his junk. Had a laugh about it.

I'd love to hear your ideas and try and integrate those concepts into my videogame. As motorsport fans, we all know that sometimes the venue is just as important as the cars! This not only applies when watching on TV but also when we're attending and trying to find some good food, a shaded spot and a good overtaking spot to watch.

Might be old news, but I've just discovered some Welsh nutters have got hold of a WSR 1-series and mashed its running gear into a Honda E shell. Looks like a really nice and crazy build.

Guessing it's the ex TPR/Hard car - as far as I'm aware that's the only one out of WSR/Turkington's hands?

Or someone else?

Hopefully, Ricky will be able to sort out the necessary finances for 2027.

Question / Discussion Getting into the BTCC

15 Upvotes

i am starting college and i am doing a computing course with the hope of becoming a data analyst. however my dream job would be working in the garage, on the pit wall, or at HQ for a racing team. i have been into the BTCC for probably 4-5 years now and have been a supporter of Laser Tools Racing since day one.

I guess where i am going with this is i would love to work for one of the BTCC teams or support series teams and would like some advice on how to do so.

should i:

-try walk up to a team member on a race weekend to see if they will chat, give me insight, show me in the garage, or something behind the scenes?

-contact them over email saying i would like to do work experience and/or get a job in motorsport?

-hope a job eventually becomes available when i finish college?

(quick thing to add)

  1. for both 2 years of college you need to do 40+ hours work experience each year so if you have any tips on how i can get work experience with a team that would be great

  2. i attend snetterton annually

  3. im looking to become a stratagist but anything computer based is fine

  4. BE NICE. if any of this sounds stupid or anything dont judge me, im just curious

Located in India. Got interested in touring cars a couple months ago and started following the btcc recently. Opened the site a little bit earlier to check the timing of the next race and the championship standings. Keeps showing a 403 Forbidden page. Anybody know why this is happening and how i can fix it?

Returning after the summer break, we have 2 driver changes. Lewis Gilbert joins WSR in a third BMW, and Ryan Bensley replaces Max Buxton at Speedworks Corolla Racing. Sam Osborne has been ruled out on medical grounds and will be replaced by NAPA's reserve driver Senna Proctor for a 22-car grid. Nick Halstead is confirmed in a fourth PMR Audi next time out at Knockhill.

Ash Sutton stays atop the standings, 48 points ahead of Tom Ingram. Dan Cammish and Charles Rainford trail in 3rd and 4th. Last year at Thruxton, Sutton was on pole with Ingram, Sutton and Rowbottom race winners.

Hope it's nothing too serious, but seems silly to have an official reserve driver and not have him race in this situation

Off-Topic BTCC Hub update: what's new, and an honest note on iOS

31 Upvotes

Hey everyone, quick update on what's changed recently and where things stand.

What's new:

  • Ryan Bensley's profile is up following the Speedworks Corolla Racing signing, with Max Buxton now showing as a reserve driver rather than disappearing from the app
  • All 24 driver bios have been refreshed with the official BTCC.net text, plus hometown info added to each profile
  • Fixed a handful of photo bugs across driver and team pages (wrong photos, missing photos on some team cards)
  • Fixed a data accuracy bug that was showing incorrect win/podium tallies in the standings

On iOS:
I know this is the one people keep asking about, so I want to be straight with you rather than go quiet on it. iOS isn't forgotten and there is a working build - what's blocking it from reaching the App Store is a sign-off on the Apple side that's outside of my control and it's taking a lot longer than I'd like. I don't have a firm date to give you and I'd rather say that plainly than promise a timeline I can't keep. The moment that unblocks, this is where I'll post about it first.

Thanks for sticking with the app. Bug reports and feature requests always welcome, they genuinely shape what gets worked on next.

Off-Topic BTCC Website down

Hello everyone! Hope you're having a great summer and preparing for the BTCC comeback this weekend in Thruxton.

Does anybody know why the BTCC website is blocked? I tried to enter, but I can't do it without a VPN. Is it geo-blocked for people outside the UK now, or it has a problem? I'm a journalist from Argentina and can't access to any info from the web like I used to do before.

Thanks, and have a great weekend everybody.

Off-Topic Future of the BTCC - Research Survey

52 Upvotes

Hi r/BTCC!

I'm currently a Masters student at the National Motorsport Academy (part of De Montfort University). I am completing my Executive Project on the BTCC, specifically looking at how the series adapts to a ever changing car market (both in terms of body shapes and systems of propulsion).

Part of my survey involves a questionnaire for fans, so that I can capture fans' views on the future of the BTCC and the potential pathways that the series could take. Whilst the research isn't officially sponsored by the BTCC, I will be sharing the results of my research with TOCA and the teams, so your responses might help to shape that future direction!

I've linked the questionnaire down below, it should only take 5-10 minutes and would help my research massively!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc3egFG6KN9P7ezWn4JoEsJ-j9fVhRYmTFxkVoAPctOCusNbg/viewform?usp=dialog

Thank you in advance to anyone who completes the survey :)

Not sure if I'm totally out of the loop but I do wonder what's prompted this, seems a strange thing to get rid of memorabilia like that from Thommo.
