    Is off and running.

    Two wins for Plato today makes him the most successful Touring car driver in UK history with 62 wins.

    The next gen turbo engines are going to prove interesting as the year progresses. It's actually cool to see the engines split between the drivers, as the new turbo engines are super quick in the straights but seem to eat tyres for breakfast.

    Looking forward to a cracking season.

    We'll be off to see them at Knockhill and croft, I just wish we could make more dates, but work and other important stuff keeps getting in the way.

    Major kudos to the Silverline team for putting Plato's wreck back together. Race three just starting, so no idea how he'll do, but just to be in the grid is amazing.

    Finally got to watch all of the coverage.... Great racing, looks like it's going to be an interesting year. Well done the young guns Jordan and Nash - they could be worth the watching

    Just wondering how long it will be before they reduce the power on the NGT engines. They have a clear advantage on the straights and that is at odds with the principles of the BTCC. They had to do some faffing around with the gas powered Fords from Team AON last year. They had a similar characteristic and the other drivers were constantly complaining about them.
