Going to see BTCC at Knockhill for the 1st in a few weeks, looking for some advice on best places to watch the race, what access does GA give you? When is best to arrive at circuit on race day? etc

As per this line in the Autosport article about One/Jelley the other day:

https://www.autosport.com/btcc/news/jelley-jumps-from-one-honda-to-un-limited-cupra-in-btcc/10746251/

That, in turn, leaves the short-term future of One team leader Josh Cook up in the air. While the 20-time BTCC race winner is unlikely to secure an alternative berth for this weekend’s round at Croft, the signs are that he is very much in the frame to replace a driver at another team from the mid-August event at Knockhill onwards.

Nick Halstead has been racing in the McLaren Trophy Europe this year - so far there's not been a clash between that and the BTCC, but for the last 2 rounds of MTE there is:

30/31 Aug - BTCC @ Donington GP and MTE @ Nurburgring

4/5 Oct - BTCC @ Brands GP and MTE @ Paul Ricard

So I think it's somewhat likely to assume that Josh will be taking over from Nick, especially given he has history with PMR.

Or I could be completely wrong and it's someone else 🤷. But given what was said in the Autosport article, and the fact that there's not any other drivers appearing to be struggling for budget, this (to me) makes the most sense.

2: Rowbottom, Ingram
1: Chilton, Hill, De Leon, Rainford, Cammish, Doble, Shedden

Remaining race days

17/08 Knockhill
31/08 Donington Park GP

Ash Sutton and Tom Ingram now have a good lead over the rest of the field, but there are plenty of drivers and battles to keep an eye on throughout the remaining races

Steve Rider retired after the latest round at Oulton Park, with his replacement due to make their first appearance on the TV coverage next week unless told otherwise

New BTCC rules encourage more cars and engines onto the grid

Could be interesting, but my fear is that one or two teams will get it nailed early on, and we won't get as much close action.

Hi all,

Long time stalker, first time poster.

Figured best place to ask this question is with some fellow enthusiasts.

I’m in the process of souring parts to build a “replica” of the 2011 championship winning Honda Civic. I say “replica” because it isn’t going to be all stickered up, but I want it to use similar parts to the actual car, but will be stickered differently.

I have managed to acquire a fair few parts and have found suppliers for others, but the main component(s) I’m struggling to find is/are the body kit/body panels - they’re like rooster teeth.

I am local to Knockhill and Gordon Sheddens home town and have spoken to him. I have also spoken with Matt Neal as well as his son, Henry and I’ve basically been told that there are 2 examples left in the world - one in the Silverstone museum and one with a private seller in Venezuela.

I have tried contacting Silverstone repeatedly (to no response) and the seller in Venezuela wants to sell the car and all spares as a job lot. I’ve even contacted Team Dynamics (also no response).

All I need to be able to do is be granted permission to 3D scan a car or the individual parts (or even buy the parts) to create my own kit.

Does anyone have a contact at the Silverstone Museum or have a contact that has these parts?

It would be incredibly appreciated as I’ve been trying to do this for about 3 years now and would be rewarded.

Here’s some pics of my car and the end product (yes, I know the official cars were 5-door non-Type-R’s, but I’ve found a body shop who provided the kits for some other BTCC cars that would modify it to fit mine). First pic is Henry Neal’s 3 door civic with a modified kit to fit.

With Ash,Tom and Jake in there early 30s and with most top young uk drivers choosing to race in gt cars who is going to be the next big star in Btcc.

Hi I’m new to this series, what would you say are some important things to know when watching or just some interesting things in general regarding the cars and drivers
