2025 Touring Car Thread - BTCC, TCR, and more.Touring Cars 

Flashback! Shedden wins again in BTCC. Yes it was a lucky reverse grid pole, but he looked always in control holding off the challengers behind in tricky conditions.

Ingram and Sutton continue to be superior to the rest of the field and look set to battle for the title all the way to the end, although Tom's old nemesis appeared to almost get him in the third race. Not sure why he has so slow in the slippery conditions as his teammates were fine, and he did recover well once it started to dry up, but it could cost him as it did at Brands last year.

Also happy retirement to Steve Rider. He's been a mainstay of UK sports coverage my whole life.

So good to watch full races on YouTube now. The cars sound so good and I gotta repeat all the liveries look vibrant and professional.
It'll be interesting they add small SUVs like the CX-3, Puma, etc. Wouldn't water down the BTCC excitement one bit. It is the best compact touring car racing it has always been.

It’s a pretty good bet that we’ll get an SUV in the next few years, to replace the Focus/Civic/Astra hatchbacks. If I remember right a team wanted to run a Range Rover in the past, but got dissuaded by the manufacturer as it didn’t mesh with their marketing strategy.

Also, perhaps some explanation of how Ingram was half a second clear of the field in qualifying:

I remember that, it was Thorney Motorsport, would have been interesting.
