Saw it late last night on the box.

Awesome racing, i like the way they set the races up now. Used to go and watch years ago when Volvo were racing 850 Estates.

Didn't know VX had stopped using the Astra and now use the Vec. Awesome stuff from the Italian bloke

Even though the rules have changed somewhat, BTCC remains in my opinion far better than F1 as its realistic using recognisable cars, and theres more contact type racing not over-ruled by technology.

Although some times it does look like they are going slow
