BTCC 2021 — Oulton Park July 31/Aug 1

[Mostro]

Couldn't see a thread on this weekend's BTCC round so I'm starting one...

First BTCC round for me since Knockhill 2019, and bringing my nearly-3-year-old for the first time. Haven't been to Oulton for a number of years, what's the best recommendations for gates to use, parking locations etc? Will probably spectate at Knockerbrook and the The Avenue mostly.

Hoping for a good weekend's action - I love Oulton Park as a circuit but feel that overtaking has become a bit limited there in recent years

[Mostro]

Can you still get in the Knickerbrook gate and park on the hill there?

You could a couple of years ago. Getting out was a bit of a scrum, but it's nice that side.

Junction of Dogmore lane and kings lane was where we went in (2018 I think that was)

"Don't you have anything positive to contribute? I'd be interested to know if when out shopping you came across Mr Neate and his family you would walk up to him to tell him that you think he's a waste of space?

Neate withdrawn from race, tested postive for covid during the break and isnt fit enough to race.

I’d probably be trundling round at the back too…

Nice bit of respect for the Marshall who lost his life yesterday.

No you wouldn't. You could'nt get an NGTC moving forward without stalling it.

I can arrange that for you. Are you going to be at Thruxton or Silverstone?

Why the late start in TV ?

The ITV coverage always has the first BTCC race on first with support races in between. I assume there was a support race or two on in the morning that hasn't been shown.

Oulton can't run till midday on a Sunday.
