BTCC 2009: News, Rumours and stories..

Yeah it was pretty good. Kinda missed out on the late 90s but that must be something to do with the license agreement or something

Other than that it was pretty good, and it was quite funny as well

some great footage of the BTC-T era, which takes me back to watching my first touring car race: Brands GP 2001

It made me dig out Toca Race Driver 1 with the BTCC in it, I found a 'sim handling' cheat code, and I must say, im having great fun around Knockhill!

One week till Brands! CANNOT WAIT!

lol, funny how you needed a cheat to get 'sim' handling

btw, what is it...I wanna play that game now

I think the cheat is 'SIM'. The handling is somewhere inbetween Toca 2 on the PS1 and PGR4, very fun.

I have TOCA 2 there, but my 7 year old PS2 wont play it any more

I have to use my little brothers slim PS2 to play it

Aw man, I just realized i'll have to play it on my PS3...with no cars unlocked

I think the BTCC is there from the start anyway no?

I say Toca 2 for the PC the other day fir 99p, I really should have got it

yup, you get BTCC from the start.

Enjoy

Excellent, gonna hunt out my old PS2 steering wheel now and play this later

man, it really is sim! Plato just rammed me off!

It is understeery to begin with, but keep trying test laps. There isnt a good sensation of speed, so you think your going quite slow into corners, where your actualy going really fast, just calm it down and slow it nicely for the corners.

Yeah, read that earlier, very good stuff, tees up the new season brilliantly.

The 1 series beemer is back for sunday as well as Plato in a RML ran Lacetti.

yaaaaayyyyyy Plato!!!!!!

I hope its not an April Fools joke

If it is then both BTCC.net AND autosport are in on it

Its on Btcc.net and touringcartimes.com Its no april fools even though i h8 plato lol

wow, this is great news! Not a massive fan of Plato, but it adds another quality driver to the field AND RML, i thought it would be at Tempus (which have RML support).

Does this mean we have a works Chevy?

I

AM

SO

HAPPY!!!!!!

No its just a one off race atm, since there is a gap in the WTCC.

possible Tempus ride for the rest of the season? i'd imagine some RML guys would be at Brands anyway to kick-start Tempus?

Yeah, gotta say this sounds a bit like a trial run before Plato commits to Tempus for the season.

Well he says he's not going to purely make up the number and lets be honest the lacetti aint the best car on the grid. If I was him I would of joined RAC, best bet to take the title from Gio atm.

the Laccetis from last season were poor compared to even the Tempus ones as Vaulkhard pointed out. Jason's car will be very good, and Jason is a top driver.

So Alan Morrison has been confirmed in the second seat at Brands Hatch. Nick Leason is driving the diesel 1 series, and Plato will be in the RML Lacetti, but we don't have Hughes in the MG, or O'Neill in the 2nd Sunshine Integra.

Still, this Sunday we got the F1 in the morning and the BTCC for six hours in the afternoon. Thank God I am off!

Il just be watching the BTCC, the support races never entertain me (well, they do in person, not on the TV for some reason though) for some reason.

The Clio's are alright sometimes!

i love the side series they're great little series to follow personal favourites are the formula renaults porsche carrera cup and it'll be interesting to see if the Ginetta G50's will be any good great to see another Focus on the grid
