First WTCC race at Paul Ricard was also pretty good in the midpack, should be an interesting second race later. BTCC is another level though.

WTCC being good?

CotA is a garbage track and IMS is one of the less bad rovals.

minus infinity?

Seriously though CotA is one of those dumb 'lets join a load of corners from other tracks end to end' magazine articles made flesh and is Exhibit B* in the case for why Hermann Tilke should have his hands smashed with a hammer.

*Exhibit A is Fuji

Eurosport isn't part of the Sky Sports package....what the loving hell? Have to subscribe to another set of channels if I want Le Mans (which is sport) on the telly.

Eurosport is and has always been part of the basic Sky package, is it even possible to get Sky Sports without the core Sky pack?

It's not. It's part of the entertainment plus pack. You can get just sky sports through a Now TV (sky) box though I don't see the point of those

Looking again, I don't see it so that must have changed recently. Eurosport WAS part of the basic package ever since they first launched though.

Rumor has it end of next year Audi is withdrawing from LMP1. Cost cutting measure still from the dieselgate saga. Haven't got anything firm but that's gonna be a punch in the gut for LMP1.

Audi quitting to hand over the reigns to Porsche has been the rumour for 3 years or so now.

Also runs as GTS in Pirelli World Challenge, and the GT4 European Series that SRO runs as a support/feeder series for Blancpain GT.

And British GT is a multiclass GT3/GT4 series . GT4 is pretty popular.

Are the IMSA prototypes legit to run at Le Mans? Are we expecting many of them to do so?

Given the collapse of LMP1 currently in progress the LMP2 field could be insane next year.

Yeah, good luck with that. Meanwhile...

Yes, because what the BTCC really needs right now is a CART/IRL split.

WRC is dead, but good gods that rear wing: http://wtf1.co.uk/car-toyota-returning-wrc-2017/

Is that a wing or a bicycle rack?

Wait, hang on, why does a rally car need rear view mirrors?
