btcc - Skyline Owners Club

Newbie · 16th July 2008, 06:08 PM

Has anyone seen the 16th and 17th race of the btcc at Snetterton? oh my god that was intense, cars left and right, skidding out of the track and some really brilliant racing By Giovanardi and Matt Neal. just Brilliant.

Ps, a while back i entered this competition to become race driver of the year, it`s sponsored by the vxr btcc team or what not.
Anyway i`ve made it throught to the semi finals.
The semi`s will be located at Heathrow. The races will be on Karts but the winner of the final gets to race the vxr and become driver of the Year!

Wasn`t it Andy Middlehurst that was racing them?

**legrat** · 16th July 2008, 07:28 PM

have looked mate it looks like it was a primera , got a lot of poles ,fastest laps , and won constructers

**Big Mark** · 16th July 2008, 07:54 PM

Andy Middlehurst won a couple of British Saloon Car Championships in an R32, and I think both Matt Neal and Keith Odor both won either the Group N or Group A Saloon car championships in an R32.

A can't remember exactly when, but I know the R31 GTS-R was also raced in something like the saloon car championship with some success too.

Some karting centre in Birmingham. Top tip? Drifting is not the fastest way around the corner!
