Drivers outside of BTCC
As BTCC is a weekend (mainly) event, I was wondering what all the driver's do during the week - both BTC-T & BTC-P drivers.
Anyone know? |

Most of them work for a living - and to pay for their racing...

didnt O'Neil work in Ikea??
most are driving instructors at various race circuits. Or TV presenters in the case of Oli Wilkinson and Charlie Butler Henderson. Either that or students, but this is more so singleseaters |

Is the pay for race driving instruction good then?
Alot own their businesses. Blencowe has one, Boardman does, Thommo has two that were his late dads, Matt Neal runs a business with his dad |

Alan Blencowe does a lot of instructing work and still occasionaly Scaffolds for the family business (it owned by his parents not him, I think).

I would have thought most of the drivers, well the factory drivers at least (maybe except the Honda drivers) would have been fully-paid professionals.

I started a thread a while ago asking who gets paid but got slaughtered by one of the members....dunno why.
I think the only paid drivers are (correct me if i am wrong) Thompson Muller Reid Hughes Bennett Leslie |

No - it belongs to/was started by his father, John Boardman. Same with Blencowe - the company is a family concern rather than being his own.
