Last weekend saw the British Touring Car Championship head north of the border as the BTCC Knockhill weekend 2016 brought the series and its support races on their annual trip to Scotland. After the excitement of Snetterton, could this be quite so memorable a weekend? The first race was the 500th BTCC start for Jason…
Last weekend saw the BTCC Snetterton Weekend 2016 as the teams and drivers got back to racing after the six week break since Croft, and what a weekend it was. There had been some testing during the week as the drivers got used to the Norfolk track, before practice on Saturday. It was all good…
