BTCC » Brabham: BTCC was the best racing ever

BTCC was at its absolute best through the 80's and 90's. In comparison it's a bit of a joke now.

The only thing lacking with the current BTCC is manufacturers - and this factor doesn't determine how entertaining the series is. In terms of racing, variety of cars, calibre of drivers - it's arguably somewhere near it's best. Certainly no complaints from me.

96 and 99 were golden years for me. I watched a race the other day and the calibre of drivers still seems to be there its just the lack of manufacturer support thats letting it down. Even Vauxhall dont seem to look like a proper works team anymore.

I don't understand why people think the lack of manufacturers is letting the championship down.. We have a massive grid again this year, and alot of the teams are 2 car efforts, AND we have alot of different makes of car, so why is there a NEED for manufacturers? Just because they're not being funded by the manufacturer doesn't make it sh*t. Any motorsport fan should agree the championship is wide open and as entertaining as ever?! And Stephen, HOW can Vauxhall not look like a works team anymore? That just doesn't make any sense..
