Circuits have a big contribution to action too. With the cars getting wider, narrower circuits like Oulton Park, Knockhill and dare I say Brands Hatch (in places) produce some rather processional races. In both the ST and BTC days it wasn't uncommon to see cars side by side on the run down from Island and into Knickerbrook now all a driver needs to do is run a wheel's width to the side and the inside line is blocked.
However at wide tracks like Donington and Silverstone we get some great action. Then (race-ending stupidity aside) we had Thruxton race 1, I can't remember the last time I've watched such close three-abreast racing in the BTCC, it's like someone had forgotten to tell them they weren't all in Clios.
