Thruxton 2: The Revenge
The countdown has begun. The BTCC will be visiting the Hampshire speedbowl of Thruxton this coming weekend for it's second visit of the season. The knowledgeable crowd in Hampshire will be in for a treat.
Will the BMW team repeat the May domination? Can Dan Cammish win a race? Will Jason Plato win at long last? Could BTC Racing finally get an A list celebrity in their garage? Will local drivers Josh Cook, Rob Collard, John George and Dennis Leech find success? |

Plus there might be weather in play here so wets might be used instead of the only dry tyre on this track

Weather forecast looks pretty poor for this weekend. Could be a wash out.

Excellent. So R1 will be won by Cambridge who will sink without trace in R2 due to the success ballast.
Unless they are helped off the track via a friendly rub first ! |

It's so nice to have only two weeks between meetings after that month without racing

Not since 2013 has an entry specifically skipped Knockhill. The TBL system does not allow them to do so. Knockhill has had the same or larger grid than the round proceeding it every year since.

While you're helping out with facts, do the non-Scottish teams need an export license to transport over the border? |

If Scotland has another independence referendum, will Aiden Moffat have to carry his passport in the car at all times for rounds in England?

They'll join Turkington and Smiley in forming the Gaelic Touring Car Championship. John Cleland will be series administrator, and Mondello Park is on the calendar.

Absolutely. He'll also have to change his money at the border otherwise the marshals will leave him in the sand pit if he has an off. Alternatively a supply of Scottish happy juice may keep the marshals sweet.

With this as the theme tune during the green flag lap (modified to reflect the drivers' personalities):

With a guest entry of Rod Stewart in a green and white stripey Lambo not subject to any of these silly little rules and regulations.
With Duncan Bannatyne knocking out ice creams from a van fitted w'pipes, none o'this twee chimes rubbish. |
