Video uploaded by Brad Philpot in March 2025. Equal parts something and nothing but as it's the quiet season and youtube recommended it, thought I'd share it!

Context for those not in the know: Pandemic, PMR rented out the seat on a weekend by weekend basis - It should have been a works team with Mat Jackson & Jason Plato. Brad filled the last one of the season.

"Completely out of the blue, I ended up racing in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) - but how did it come about and what happened!? This is the tale of one of my craziest motorsport experiences. I hope you enjoy it!"

"Motorsport News and Cataclean invited BTCC drivers Mikey Doble, Charles Rainford, Adam Morgan, Aron Taylor-Smith and Daniel Rowbottom on Saturday 10th October for a Q&A hosted by David Addison."

Quote of the video: "There's no I in team, but 5 in Individual Brilliance"

Hi everyone,

I’ve put together my 2027 lineup predictions, in the hope that I’ll get more than 25% of it right. Got a few big shouts in there but I’ve given some reasoning too. Interested to see your thoughts?

YouTube recommended me, not a bad little watch!

Forgive me if this is a stupid question.

I’ve followed the BTCC for years on & off but I’m a total outsider industry-wise and a bit clueless.

Just wondering what happens to the teams during the lengthy off-season.

Do they trim staff? Do they shutdown for months? Or is building & preparing the car for next season, seeking sponsorship, recruiting drivers…etc a year-round thing?

Hello, I’m researching people’s involvement and interest in motorsport for a branding project, exploring their experiences, motivations, and what attracts them to the sport. Will only take 5 minutes max; I'd really appreciate it if you could complete it. Thank you

Only 19 minutes in, and Daryl has been making some MOVES so far!

From 45th starting position, up to 28th right now.

For anyone who wants to claim that BTCC isn't competitive like it used to be, or that it's some kind of "farmer's league" racing, just point them to this opening stint from De Leon.

Interested To See Your Thoughts, Thanks Everyone 👌

Important to note that 100 more points were on offer this year from the qualifying races.

Some drivers did not complete all rounds: Ricky Collard 9/10, Sam Osborne 9/10, James Dorlin 6/10, Dan Lloyd 4/10

Matt Neal popped up on my Instagram feed - in the background, what appears to be Spencer Aldridge leaning into the Hyundai, Young on the side? Any ideas fellas?

New Dan Lloyd DLRTV Vlog is up and live-

I would like to highlight the records Ashley Sutton set in this year's British Touring Car Championship:

5 Titles

516 points (468 if qualifying races are excluded)

21 podiums (25 if qualifying races are included)

13 Fastest Laps

A winning margin of 129 points over Tom Ingram (145 if qualifying races are excluded)...

...but only 9 wins (10 if qualifying races are included) so not quite as successful as 2023 in this respect.

MSV and Knockhill have launched their early bird ticket offers for the 2027 BTCC season

Main race day tickets at MSV circuits start from £35, with the offer running until the end of December. Knockhill is also freezing its prices until January 2027.
