I see the WTCC powers that be have announced a 30 minute test session for five venues next season.
Which brings me neatly on to my point.
The WTCC now have up two (or three) practice sessions, qualifying, a pre-race warm-up then the races.... over in 20 minutes flat!
Why do they bother with so much build up for such short races?
The BTCC has always been good value for money - used to be one short and one long race and i think the current format of 3x 20/25 minute races works very well.
The WTCC's only saving grace was the races being back to back which was quite intense, but even that's been scrapped.
I was thinking of going to Brands in September but I don't know if its worth it.
What does everyone think?
