    Default BTCC Oulton Park

    Anyone go this year?
    I've been going for quite a few years now, and getting a bit,.. well, bored I suppose.

    I remember the touring cars of old with Cleland and Giavanardi in Cavaliers, Alfa 155s Mondeos, Volvos, 405s etc etc... lots of action, lots of passing, basically every time the driver was on the track, he was driving to win the race.

    Now sadly it seems, it's all 'points' - so it ends up being a procession of cars driving quick around the track, and a pass if you're luck. No-one seems to drive to win anymore, in fact the only driver out there actually racing to win would be Lewis Hamilton in F1....

    Is it me or has it just got boring??....

    I enjoy the day out, but it's just like watching a line of cars drive round. It's not racing anymore.

    I'm with you on this one. I still enjoy watching it but no where near as good as the racing in the 90's. I have dvd's (copied from videis) of every year from 88 - 2008. Still pick a year and watch again. People fet exited about this years Suburu estate, but remember Rickard Rydell and Jan Lammers with the Volvo 850 estate in 93. Memories
