How many are open for BTCC? I'm sure it was just three last year? How many will be open for the National circuit I wonder?

BRDC stand was open to the public. It usually is at most club meetings.

Just spotted the advert to run in the Audi that Sargant raced at Silverstone.
£14,500 +Vat per round?
No wonder the grid has shrunk this season if that's a weekend arrive and drive price.

Over 7 rounds/weekends, its around £100k - that's been the ballpark figure for a seasons costs for a few years now. A good seat in VW cup 7-8 years ago would have set you back £35-50k for a season and TCR cars require a lot more maintenance on them. I would guess the Mini JCWs are around £80-100k a season with a front running team.

That would seem a fair cost for arrive and drive, assuming no insurance inc. and that's on the money for JCW's, the higher end of that scale if you run with a particular team.

Was interesting to see Stewart Lines on Facebook last night saying that TCR UK is going to BARC next year. There were a few nice things about BTCC said, but I imagine at this point that they couldn't give two figs about TCR. It'll be interesting to see how it all pans out, especially if there was a miracle and they had a bigger grid than BTCC!

That's been a bit of a disaster this year. The path back to the Britcar 24 hours doesn't seemed to have worked.......
