Interview at John Danby Racing HQ with Richard Wheeler, who owns both the Leslie and Aiello Primeras from 1999. Gives some fascinating insight into the crazy engineering and expense that went into these cars at the time, and also highlights why it’s so rare (and such a privilege) to see them running with the CTCRC, given how challenging and costly they are to run and maintain.

Hello Friends, I joined this subreddit not only to learn and be able to talk about this category (as soon as I start to see and understand it), But for now I just need your help for a very important project of mine.

I'm trying to do a project that's based on an iceberg of motorsport in general (Drift, Open Wheel, Rally, GT, etc). And at this point, I'd like to ask you, what have been the most historic moments in the category? Whether they're epic moments, rivalries, controversies, including funny moments, coincidences, or simply memes related to the category, etc. It can be anything. While you're at it, it would be a huge help if you could send me links to information or simply tell me what happened that time.

I'm doing this whole project mainly to raise awareness of motorsports in the Spanish-speaking world (As you can see, I'm from Colombia). And thus enable more Spanish-speaking people to understand or learn about other categories besides the main ones (F1, Indycar, etc.).

Being able to join the project with your contribution would be a huge help to me. So I would appreciate any help you can give me 🥹🫶

So I've really wanted to go to knockhill since I was a kid. I saved up a bit and was going to get the train to Dunfirmline. I'd hoped there'd be a bus or something to the circuit. I see there isn't - so how possible really is it without a car? Its a couple of miles, is a taxi going to cost me the earth? Is there any kind of shuttle service they put on or ride sharing? I'll have spent everything I have really just getting there, so nervous i'll end up walking.

Anyone going to this?

I was considering it but the entry list looks very thin. Not sure it’s worth the six hour round trip 🤷‍♂️

Since BTCC has gained quite a lot of popularity over the last few years, especially this year, it’s gotten a lot of people hoping something like iRacing adds those cars to the sim (which sparks a ton of discussion/arguments, but that’s not the point). But what if BTCC could get a standalone sim, like WEC did with LMU? My question is, what developers/company would you like to make the sim? My personal pick is Studio397, mostly because of the RFactor 2 DLC.
