Not long to go now.. Cars sound sweeeeeeeeeet
Now I don’t know if it’s just me or my phone screen but at 7:48 (the start of wet afternoon) on Jake’s car and the few cars after, but the hybrid light looks to be static on red 🤷♂️🤔. Is this now part of one of the new small changes this season, where it now gives the information trackside that the car has ran out of hybrid for the lap/session as well……like it already did on the live leaderboards on tv.
Something I just can’t get my head around is why is it that the BTCC don’t have 1/43 scale models of the current cars of today because I feel like it’s a series that is very much missing from the diecast model world of motorsport.
There’s pages on Facebook and people hand make them. I know what you mean tho I’d defo buy
Even in the WET conditions you can see the difference in Ash Sutton car, he is going extremely quick...
Ash Sutton was flying
For me as someone who used to follow back in the super touring days, I find it difficult to work out what some of the cars are!! So many sponsors on the cars makes them ugly! I get there not works cars but even when itv cover the races more times than not u still have no idea on manufacturer
Btcc used to be the best Motorsport in the UK now it's dead
Lol, how do you work that out then? Huge depth of talent in the field, world wide streaming deal signed, still on free to air mainstream TV unlike 99% of motorsport so I'd say it's doing just fine.
@@UKMechanicI agree with most of what you’re saying, but the BTCC isn’t what it once was. Not dead by any means, but in danger of sliding towards ill health.
Same circuits, same cars, and mostly the same drivers year on year. While it’s on free-to-air TV in the UK, it’s tucked away on a minor channel (the odd excursion to ITV1 excepted) - albeit with hours-long blanket coverage.
Scope for improvement probably sums it up, but there’s definitely enough within the series to continue attracting existing fans. The existing fan base (like me) are probably largely happy, but there seems to be nothing new or eye-catching to attract new fans in recent years.
@@BungleBare It's hardly tucked away. Tucked away would be pay to view on an obscure Amazon channel like some other British series. One of the reasons for going for a smaller grid is the possibility of going to other circuits. A 32 car grid and support paddock is too big for some of the current circuits let alone ones they currently don't go to. The TikTok deal is going to attract a lot of new fans without question. Hybrid power is doubling this year and the drivers have already said not having it is going to make a huge difference so we'll see some action in race 2 for sure unlike the last couple of years while they were getting the bugs out.
its not dead
but the competition is definitely weaker.
back then in the early to mid 2010s we had sheddon plato neal tordoff collard jackson jordan turkington with young new threats emerging such as sutton and cook and ingram
that for me was unmatched.
now its only sutton and ingram that are world class in my opinion. Turkington is washed and Jake Hill just crashes into other drivers and bottles it in the fastest car
13 of the drivers this season have won a btcc race, 15 of them have had a BTCC podium. There are multiple champions and a world champion. It's a very strong grid.
