The Official game of the RAC British TouringCarChampionship, with the cars, drivers, teams and tracks from the 1997 season.
Positives & Negatives:
[+] Realistic handling from Analog controller, and support for the NegCon and MadCatz wheel.
[+] Four different views - with the HeadCam coming with a windscreen viper for the worse of the (six) weather conditions.
[+] Considering there are 16 cars - the attention to detail in the collisions, and that the racing stays fairly smooth.
[-] You've got to be really reckless to be given a warning for dangerous driving. And it's down to your driving that brings about the retirement of the computer drivers.
[-] Little commentary - coming pre and post race - from Phil Needell, and lacklustre music.
[-] 2 player split-screen is only one-on-one racing.
[-] In the Championship, despite the points ...

Brief History
The British TouringCarChampionship was established in1958, as the British Saloon CarChampionships. Held in the united kingdom every year, throughout the country at 8 different locations. Up until the beginning of this season the tour would take to Ireland as well, but for reasons not confirmed.

Advantages: Race coverage, commentary, EXCITEMENT!!!! Disadvantages: Not many driver interviews
I have been following the BTCC since 1998, and I have to say that it is now more exciting than it has EVER been!!.
The 2004 BTCC season saw the closest title battle ever known, against the VX Racing team mates. The BTCC always produces wheel to wheel and bumper to bumper racing action!!, and the 2004 season is no exception to this fact!!.
There is also some excellent on-board race footage!!. The BTCC DVD does dissapoint when it comes to Extras on the DVD, however this DVD also contains the BTCC Masters race, which was a one off race where past BTCC legends, such as Alain Menu, John Cleland, Kelvin Burt, Tim Harvey and many many more, were reunited, and what a fantastic race it was too!!.
The race coverage is excellent!!, with every single race covered (The BTCC is made up of 3 races per event).
Do not miss your opportunity ...
