Best BTCC Track?

[Alfa Fan]

What do you think is the best BTCC track past and present?

[Claw]

My "Local" track, Thruxton!

[thommo_fan]

brands hatch, no contest

[Radisich Fan]

Brands (Indy)

[touring fan]

Since when was pembrey a BTCC track?

[Radisich Fan]

It says PAST & present....

Pembrey was used before!

[touring fan]

Sorry, didn't see that bit.

[Radisich Fan]

Yer, that's true!

[King Cleland]

Thruxton for me!

[cos]

Brands GP!!

[King Cleland]

Out of the two brands I would go for Indy!

[mattlovestbs]

Oulton Park for me.. though Croft runs it close

[Brooklands78]

Knockhill, without doubt!

[mbailey06]

Thats a tricky one, but the fast flowing nature of Thruxton is just something you can't beat.

Pembrey was used in 1992 and 1993, to be honest I am suprised it has been included. However, it has to bo donnington for me (national circuit for me though)

Croft everytime.

I just feel it has no aires and graces. What you see is what you get. It hasn't had the same funding of a MotorsportVision circuit like the three BTCC cicuits (Brands Hatch, Snetterton and Oulton) because it obviously doesn't belong to MotorsportVision, and as far as I am aware from reading comments about it on other forums is something like a completely donation funded venture.

The good news is that it that has kept is largely true to what it looked roughly like in the era of around the 60's. The bad news is that the modern tintop fan appears more demanding about what she/he expects. If their isn't a caviar sarnie in sight it isn't considered much of a place to go.

Croft still does it for me everytime and I would choose a rainy day on the banking at Clervaux in Yorkshire with a pork pie in hand over a sun drenched day on a verandah in Kent with a Pimms in hand any day.

Spot on! :)

The track itself at Croft has a bit of everything, slow, medium and fast corners, challenging braking zones (into Sunny). The atmosphere is always a good one, even when it's pouring down with rain everybody still has a good time! (this year being a good example of it!)

Come on Matt ¬.¬

I'd expect better from you reviving a 5 Year old Thread :p


Could have bumped mine which is less older -.-

was having a look at the old threads - this one took my eye :p

[BTCCROCKS]

Donington for me. Great circuit with great views. Just a shame that they don't use the GP loop any more

[ash1751]

Thruxton as it's the only one i've been to with the btcc.

[mattturner38]

Can't vote for myn

The thread was made before the first use of rockingham so its not on here

[obsessivecompulsive2]

Total bias here folks,but it has to be Oulton Park for me,not only my local circuit,but it has been decribed as a mini Nurburgring by some drivers too.:p :)

[Marc W]

If we are going to do this we could do with a thread with all the current circuits on it!

I don;t think it really matters Marc,as it;s just some off season fun!:D

[603270466]

Croft all the way - has everything - fast corners, slow corners, chicanes, a hairpin, long straights, short straights, fields to go ploughing in, good racing and monster smashes......... (1997 both Hondas off massively in exactly the same place, 2000 was a demolition derby, 2001 was aswell for Phil Bennett and Steve Soper)

[craig adams]

I posted Brands Hatch. It was close between that and Donny, but getting out of Brands is so much easier in my experience!!!!

[turk06]

i voted donington, i coiuldnt decide between that or croft or knockhil so i just chose randomly, i think what tipped it is that the campsite at donington has a shower and is within walking distance to the track......which means all day drinking:D

[MGSteveT]

As a racer i would say Oulton Pk and as a spectator i would say Brands Indy.

[Grubenmoppz]

I voted for Brands too. I love this circuit, because there is always action on the track especially down the hill through Paddock Hill bend!

[Beemer Fan]

Donington Park no question

[whits]

Donington Park no question

got to agree with you there (20 minutes up the road from me)a close second was oulton park

[TUMBLEWEED16]

its close between brands and donnington

watching the cars coming down the crainer curves 3 wide is awesome

its the same with paddock

very close

[Beemer Fan]

got to agree with you there (20 minutes up the road from me)a close second was oulton park

Yeah same, i'ts about 35 minutes away from me with good traffic, my local track

[NoahsGirl]

I unashamably voted for Knockhill, there are few tracks where you can see pretty much the entire track. I do enjoy Brands and Donington (but don't get me going about the Donington camping facilities), but KH for me every time.

[BTCCKID08]

brands indy or gp does it for me:D

Knockhill is a very good little track - I love the circuit and enjoy the weekend - but as refards to a drivers circuit, Croft has more than other tracks have to offer with the variances of speeds in corners, types of corners, short straights, long straight...... The racing at Croft always seems to be fantastic

[FastRed]

Brands Hatch!!

[kk13]

Croft for me, with Donnington a close second.

I like Knockhill as it's a 20 min drive for me not weekend round trip!!

[rudd1992]

Brands all the way, there is never a boring race becasue of the short indy circuit makes mistakes very costly!
