choffer Posted May 10, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 10, 2017 Used to do an annual trip to Oulton Park but haven't been in years. Menu, Tarquini, Rouse, Radisich. Fun times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 10, 2017 Moderator Share Posted May 10, 2017 Been to Donington a few times for BTCC and open seater. Not for a good few years now though. I used to know the tracks inside and out thanks to racing games like TOCA 2 which I slightly obsessed with (well if you're gonna do something, do it properly ) , which is why I commented on the Thruxton race the other day Used to love Thruxton, Croft, Oulton Park & Knockhill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted May 10, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 10, 2017 TOCA 2. Now there was a game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 I only got into BTCC last season and had no idea who was who so decided to follow WSR (and Rob Collard in particular) for no other reason than I drive a BMW myself. Looks like I made a good choice though! My partner bought me tickets to Oulton Park as part of my xmas pressie so off to my first live event on 20th & 21st May and can't wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oulton Park is a great wee circuit. We always used to stand at Denton's. If you can time it right to do the pit walk (if they still do that), you can get really up close with the cars and drivers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 11, 2017 Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2017 ^ That's more for my own benefit than anyone else's really. You've got me thinking about it now again. Wouldn't mind a trip over but I'd keep it central and meet up with friends. Maybe somewhere like Rockingham where I've yet to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 9 circuits on the calendar now (Brands gets used for season opener and close). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still do it but I have been informed it is manic with a massive queue for ages and a mad surge once the gates are open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 With Snetterton coming up on Sunday 30th to kick start the second half of the season after an agonising mid season break I am getting really excited. I will be rooting for Collard and Turkington in the WSR BMWs in their effort to overhaul current champion Shedden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
