I reckon its should be a 'BTCC Masters' type thing. All the legendary cars ( Split into the differnet eras) with all the great drivers. I know it wouldnt happen but there is no harm in dreaming.

On a serious note, what sould replcae it?

I reckon Caterhams or the Lotus Elise On Track. Both produce fantastic races and action. Certainly brighten things up a bit!!

Wheels need to be covered, to allow a bit of "rubbing" between drivers wink

As an off the wall suggestion, how about something like the "Speedcar" series that supported a few Grand Prix at the end of last year. Run it by a central team a la Palmer Audi to keep a level playing field & it'd probably be cheaper to do than some series. Get a few "names" in like Andy Rouse, John Cleland, Tim Harvey etc, along with a few youngsters trying to prove themselves and you could have a real crowd pleaser. What shall we call it...how about V8 ThunderSaloons.

I'll get my coat!

So it is being replaced? cool. they're really droney and dull (IMO)! i'd just like there to be a sort of group N saloon car series to support BTCC.

It's rather predicatable for me to say this - but I love the clio cup racing.

The Heritage GTs is already supporting several BTCC rounds and has cars and drivers of the past BRSCC/BTCC.

Good suggestion. Would be way more entertaining. Cupra Cup has always been a bit dull.

i hate "masters" events, the drivers have had they fun, let someone else out there, i say Ginetta Juniors or SaxMax, no point complaining about a lack of UK driver talent if we dont give them a platform to shine...

a caterham "junior series" would be awesome, chuck a load of 14-16 year olds in a 1.4 roadsport and let havoc commence. cant believe caterham arent already doing it, they have classes to cater for everyone else...

Anything but Caterhams or Radicals. I'd rather chew my own foot off than watch those.

Heritage GT Challenge would be nice biggrin

Nothing should replace it but they should get the British F3 and British GT series running with the BTCC again. Or would that show up the poor standards of driving in the BTCC too much scratchchin

Why not have different series at each round. Would give lots of drivers the opportunity to race in front of a crowd and the crowds an opportunity to see different cars.

Good idea that. I like the way Knockhill put the Legends on with the BTCC as the Clio Cup and Formula Snooze don't go there....


The only thing is the Legends races end up being better than the Touring Cars hehe

Why not have a one make Ferarri series with the FIA presiding. That way Ferarri can always win!

I think the Dunlop Sportmaxx series will recieve a healthy boost next year and possibly become oversubscribed as teams 'downsize' into it.

Yeah, putting Ginetta Juniors on would be good - presumably that's why they're already on there...
