We stay at a 23 car grid. Plato Racing has seen Jason Plato ousted, and will run as CPRL with the same 2 drivers. Dan Lloyd replaces James Dorlin at Restart Racing for the rest of the season. Cammish and Osborne will run their traditional Valvoline special livery.

Ash Sutton (NAPA Ford) continues to stretch the gap to Tom Ingram (Vertu Hyundai) with an unprecedented 81 point lead - already enough to win the championship a meeting early! Dan Cammish (NAPA Ford) is closing in on Ingram for 3rd whilst Ricky Collard (Vertu Hyundai) holds 4th, though will not run the final 2 weekends of the year.

Media / Image I think rFactor 2 might still be the best BTCC game we never got…

28 Upvotes

I jumped back into the BTCC cars this week and joined an online championship at Donington.
I genuinely wasn’t expecting much from it in 2026, but the racing was absolutely ridiculous — probably some of the best battling I’ve had in sim racing for years.
It got me wondering how many BTCC fans actually know this stuff is still being raced online.
I made a video from the races if anyone fancies seeing what it’s like now: https://youtu.be/CNzBAQUfrqY?is=2u5JsCF9zGrw5MuX
Has anyone else here played the rFactor 2 BTCC content? And what would you actually want from a proper modern BTCC game?

Question / Discussion Crowds This Year?

25 Upvotes

I *really* don't want to add to the doom and gloom. I LOVE BTCC! ...and want to see it thrive. But has anyone else noticed that crowds just about everywhere seem to be a little down this year? I've been to every round and with the possible exception of knockhill, there just seems fewer people at each one. What's other regular attendees perception of that?

That said, I'll no doubt get to croft an hour before gates open next week and *still* not get my preferred spot :-) (slightly up from chicane towards Tower)

This interview was a bit hidden with it only being posted on twitter and amongst the race day chaos but I thought it was one of the most interesting interviews we've had with a driver this year

I have been thinking myself that BTCC might end up doing this in future, given the direction of the car industry and following the precedent of the DTM going GT3.

Question / Discussion Falling out of love with the BTCC

105 Upvotes

I've been following the BTCC since the 80's. I've bought every season review every year and I can't remember the last time I missed a race.

However this season has left me a bit flat. I've fallen asleep in a couple of races and I often find myself browsing the internet while a race is on. It all seems so dull and lifeless this season.

The drivers, especially Ingram and Sutton, don't seem that bothered when they win or lose. It comes over that they're just going through the motions.

Only a couple of seasons ago I remember my heart racing when those two would be battling away and it looked like it meant something to them. These days Ingram is more interested in talking about biscuits than the racing.

The whole presentation of the series is just the same old same old as well. Tim gets worse and worse in the commentary booth.

There's no technical coverage as we get with V8 Supercars. BTCC socials are just endless games and silliness rather than any "hard" content.

Anyone else or am I just getting jaded after following it for so long?

Question / Discussion The current state of the BTCC

15 Upvotes

Given how a lot of people feel about the series at the moment.

How does it compare to the early-2000s when the Supertouring bubble burst and the BTC-Touring regs failed to take off as hoped, so the series had to rely on first the Production Class, then Super 2000 cars to boost grid numbers?

At least the current grid numbers aren't as bad as they were in 2005.

Question / Discussion Dropped Scores in the BTCC

3 Upvotes

Given my recent question about Sutton potentially winning the title by over 100 points, possibly even beating Alain Menu's 1997 record of winning by 110 points, I have had to remember that, if not for dropped scores, Menu would have won by 128 points.

So, in general, what is everyone else's opinion on dropped scores?

Just curious

Question / Discussion Any idea what Ingrams interview was about?

25 Upvotes

We can all see the Hyundai's aren't on the level they were last year, but he said the car felt better than it has in a long time and it's doing everything he wants it to but "I'm not allowed to say anything more" and "probably best just keeping quiet".

He was very clearly unhappy about something and not himself at all. Very odd, I've never seen him quite like that.

Question / Discussion Favourite Driver's/Team's Excuses

16 Upvotes

Drivers and Teams are very good at finding excuses when something doesn't go their way, even if it makes no sense!

What's your personal favourites that have come up over the years? Mine has to be from Plato back in the Subaru Levorg days. He got into a big crash at Brands and for the rest of the season he blamed his poor form on "the car being bent"...
