I think.its better.using the national circuit the international/gp layouts have much longer straights be a nightmare for the teams/drivers/cars which are down on power Hangar Straight is only about 150m longer than the Wellington Straight. The International layout is so much more interesting imo. The corner leading on to hanger straight on the international circuit is taken faster than the corner leading on to Wellington on the.national Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to race at Snetterton which had longer straights.I expect its really a cost and spectator thing. Plus a shorter track equals more laps which should equal more excitement.

RevolvingPrawn Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I don't think it matters what Plato drives, he'll still be able to drag whatever it is to 1st place :)As for Turkington, maybe another sport entirely. Snooker would be preferable, his lack of personality wouldn't be so noticeable, and if he hit a bumper it wouldn't result in a penalty for his competitor.

Heard some rumours that they were going to be on the same team, but didn't believe it until I saw the press release. Brilliant bit of news, the various driver/team changes have really ramped up my interest in the 2015 BTCC season; I was looking forward to it, but now I can't wait for Brands!I hope Plato and Turkington improve their relationship from last year or there could be some very awkward moments in the paddock! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is off topic... but yes I am! The Carrera Cup is (in my opinion) by far and away the best of the BTCC support series. In fact its the only one I'd go and watch if it was run separately.
