daz90 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
the bttc is dying, and has been since about 1999, the hey day of the mid 90's are now a distant memory.

the btcc 1st attracted me back in 92, i liked it because of the closeness of the racing, the drivers back then were people you could relate to, they were ordinary guys, and mostly brits, they were also household names, now today the drivers seem a little distant, and most are unheard of. the mid 90's were so much better, even the racing was better, the grids were full of everyday cars that many fans owned, now they are not, i dont know anyone with a mg, or an astra coupe, but i know plenty of people with vectras, mondeo and volvos. it has become to much like f1, 1 team now dominates it, vauxhall, and there is a complete lack of interest from manufacturers, the people who had once started to take an interest in the btcc have now begun to lose interest in the series, i must admit that i havent followed it now for a couple of years, its just not what it was.
