Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship - Sat 4th & Sun 5th September 2010 - 9am-5pm

Its the BIG ONE!! Renowned for providing more overtaking and action in one race than in a full season of Formula 1, the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship can justifiably claim to be ‘right up there with the best’ when it comes to bringing the crowd to its toes with the on-track antics of these hard-charging drivers in cars which at least resemble the road-going versions of predominantly ‘sporty’ saloon cars.
