    Default Incredible save at Brands Hatch BTCC opener: Jason Plato sideways in the Chevy!





    I just downloaded the entire race. It reminded me too much of the Super Touring II golden age.

    Good to see Plato win after Seat pulled the factory team out of the BTCC.

    Reminds me of the start of a SPEED touring race at Petit years ago when a Nissan was punted like that first lap in 3, FWD, floor it and watch the tires smoke and comes back straight lol.

    Do they still run the shorter circuit at Brands Hatch? That thing is ridiculous. Like 1 mile long.

    That's what this race was. Its called the "Indy" course.

    You basically keep going straight into the final right hander after Surtees.

    I'll have to check on that. I know for Round 3, it was the short course.
