It's a bit of a slog for the teams, and no mention of whether spectators are allowed.
I have hospitality booked with Speedworks but unsure how it will work within the current distancing measures.
Will wait and see what happens.

stopped watching BTCC after John Cleland rammed another driver out of the way.

A bit different having a Volvo Estate in the races

Not so much of that is allowed these days, whether it's improved the racing is debatable.

I don't see ramming someone as racing but cheating.

Ramming doesn't happen anymore....playful nudges do.... its all fair game as long as no one gets injured or taken out of the race.

It has been said this morning that the first couple of rounds might not have any spectators but the racing will be on.

This year we have lost the Renault clio cup (clio destruction derby) and have the minis instead. Still got ginettas so young kids in race cars.... the best racing by a country mile!

It maybe not allowed, but i've seen more than one race where it still happens.

For me the best racing is Rally and motorcycling. The control over vehicle is just that more special and in the event of Isle of Man TT, they know there is no run off area, Rallying as with IoM TT, to go flat out around a blind bend or big jump is not only skill but nerves of steal.
