Very nice grid, a lot of variety and great names Too bad Jason Watts Seat isn't ready in time for the first race.

Some very nice racing action yesterday Magnussen was in a league of his own, Thompson discovered that DTC's standard is definitely not far below WTCC's (not that he didn't drove well though, he definitely put down a proper performance). I was impressed by Tom Pedersen as well, completely missed him last year. Probably just down to my lack of general knowledge about the Danish racing scene. Jason Watt was going well as well, he was showing good pace with his (awesome looking black and white) Leon

The Danisch championship is a great onen witch has some big names, with Thompson, Magnussen and Watt and the European champion Nykaer. A real shame that they only can use big kartingtracks.

Is there any chance of watching the DTC races without having to pay at nutv?
