You must be joking...?!
Ben Edwards, as nice a chap as he may seem, has totally ruined the BTCC coverage for me, as he doesn't actually add anything to what we can quite easily "see visually" (a little Murrayism for you there), and every now and again (when he gets excited) he sounds like he's got bad constipation.
Bring back Charlie "ding-dong battles and tankslappers" Cox! He'd even make a good F1 commentator if you ask me.
EDIT: I've changed the picture for track 1; I included a bit more than just the track which probably made it harder. Check the original post again, it should be easier now!
4 out of 5! Good work 
Who's going to get 1..?

These ones are all in the UK, so if you're from here you've got an advantage!
1 is a very hard one so I left "Roads" on on Google Earth - they include the track.
2 shouldn't be that hard but the picture was awful, so I've (badly) drawn the track on.
3 is very hard too but you can clearly see the track layout.
4 should be extremely easy! Even non-Brits should get this.
5 is a hard one too but a good quality picture.
If anyone gets 1, 3 and 5 I'll be impressed!

I won't be getting one for a while but I probably eventually will. My Xbox hasn't given me a single problem in 2 and a half years; its features are better than PS2's (including the hard drive, music customisation, and a better controller in the Controller S, although that's down to personal preference).
In fact, we have 3 PS2's (one in the living room) and my Xbox in our student house. The Xbox gets used more than the PS2 by miles.
I certainly won't rant and rave about it being better overall than PS2 because it's an extremely boring argument that basically comes down to what individual people prefer.
But I don't see the big fuss about the 360. OK, it looks nice and it's powerful, and has some great features. But it's games that make consoles good and sell them - and the 360 launch games don't grab me at all...
I won't be getting one... until they come down to about £130 or less that is, and some good games are out for it. (Bought my Xbox for £180 and the next week it came down to £130! Gutted.)

BTCC is my number one without a doubt. Been a massive fan since I first went to races back in 1992.
Other than that, rallying (mostly WRC and BRC), historics (preferably saloons or GTs) and saloons/GTs in general float my boat :goodvibes

I'm at Manchester studying Biology. It's a fantastic place - amazing nightlife, food, shopping, people, transportation, events, etc. Not too far from home home either, but just far enough to keep the parents from visiting regularly.
The only thing is the rain.
There's a lot of rain.
It doesn't bother me though.

If you go to the root directory of that video, http://supervroum.noalia.net/chameau/spy , there's some more on-board Caterham videos. The tracks are all French (or Belgian) so it must be the French Caterham series. The Croix-en-Ternois video is a good one - lots of argy-bargy racing going on!

I've got the full season reviews of every season of the BTCC from 1988 to 1998 (except 1990 - because it's so hard to get hold of - and 1996) on VHS, as well the 2002 DVD. Always absolutely fantastic racing. Bring back the late-80's Sierra RS500s!
Anyway, here's a short season review of the battle between Steve Soper and Andy Rouse in 1988 (from the same website). Commentary by the legendary Murray Walker.

That's not Lynx, it's Sure For Men. Best advert on TV at the minute!
XRR skin based on the livery of an early-90's Honda Prelude from the British Thundersaloons series. This was one of the first racing cars I loved (the noise this thing made! and nothing could beat it at the time. It's still racing in the Classic Thunder championship with a different (awful) livery, because the original Thundersaloons series doesn't exist any more
