Giovanardi has been announced at Airwaves for the BTCC next year. That makes 6 confirmed returning champions (Menu, Plato, Neal, Gio, Shedden and Jordan) and it seems there is a good chance Turkington will be back as well.

Still wish they would get rid of the stupid boost regs or at least publish them so you can see which cars are being handicapped and by how much.

Fair to say at this rate BTCC is getting back to full greatness, WTCC can't fill stands anywhere near as full as whats happening in Britian right now, and the driver line up is starting to improve as well.

Wouldn't be surprised if a Factory team from WTCC moves over soon.

Well, it seems that the guys at v8 supercars have stopped people getting superview. so any ideas where i can watch the races (that isnt live)?

It certainly makes sense, I was surprised that it was international at all. However, do you have a source that says it will not be so this year? The Superview page says

Details on the 2014 season will be announced approximately 10am Saturday the 1st March.

Which is in about 8 hours or something.

There wasnt anything on there for the last month, or on the "how to follow the clipsal 500" article. Or a reply to my email. Must have just been put up so ill take a look

No idea what's going on. It's past 10am there, and yet there's no info. PC streaming doesn't seem to be available for Aussies either at the moment, bizarrely.

V8 SuperView page defines it rather clearly now:

Yeah, so it would seem. I was comparing the cost vs. content of the Finnish coverage of the F1 and the intl. V8s.

Now, considering that I don't want to watch or pay for practices, and that the commentary is awful, I'm glad I haven't convinced myself that the F1 deal is worth it. Insane pricing.

Volvo had an epic debut.

why can't our DTM be that epic. Cars that can fight, that drive like cars, not like formular cars in drag
