ITV.. Hmm not the right channel for it to be on!

Advantages: Drivers... Race quality
Disadvantages: The breaks in the channel

... Brief History The British Touring Car Championship was established in1958, as the British Saloon Car Championships. 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. Through the years, the championship has taken many guises with the types of cars raced; * At the beginning they raced production cars * 1960's and 70's saw the use of FIA Group 1 and 2 cars * 80's we saw the start of Group A models * The nineties held the use of a lower - key Group N category of production cars. The championship was initially raced by a mixture of classification cars, depending on engine capacity. Therefore enabling different specification cars to race alongside each other. Meaning that if...

Review of ITV - British Touring Car Championship

Its hard enough in the light let alone in the dark

Advantages: Fantastic layout and great racing
Disadvantages: Night racing could be scrapped for next year

...Before I write this I may run the risk of talking about something people aren't interested in any more. But I'll try anyway! This is an op based on the time I went to Snetterton this year for rounds 15 and 16 of the British Touring car championship - but the twist is it is run in the dark! Hope you enjoy this... WHERE IS SNETTERTON? It has to be said that it is actually in the middle of no where. The main road into East Anglia is the A14 but that doesn't run through Norfolk. I live in Bury St Edmunds, in central Suffolk and as Snettereton is on the border of Norfolk and Suffolk that is why I'm an often visitor. Take a trip through the country lanes and think about following other traffic. Thetford is quite near so if you look on the mao you should see Snetterton marked on it. Warning! Even though we have been a few times...

Review of British Tour Car Championship Circuit, Snetterton

From The Menu And Onto Your Plate-O!

Advantages: Realistic handling, realistic car damage
Disadvantages: Basic 2-player, qualifying and race pace differences

...The Official game of the RAC British Touring Car Championship, 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...

Review of TOCA Touring Car Championship (PlayStation)

Touring cars go global

Advantages: Everything is great from the spills and thrills to the world championship tag
Disadvantages: Cant qualify

...a little boring leading onto me wanting the 3rd veriant in this successful program Months and months went by and so did a whole 1999 year when I finally - after numerous encounters with the rather 'delightful' Woolworths staff - the last game from the touring car camp - much to my dismay - was out. Called WTC or World touring cars it was going to revolutionise the way we drive our racing cars. The old formula of racing in Britain was old so inj came some of the most exclusive and amazing tracks from around the world as well as some new cars which you may never have heard of. It is my job to guide you through one of the best games the Playstation has to offer. THE RACE MODES SINGLE RACE QUICK RACE TIME TRIAL CHAMPIONSHIP QUICK RACE: To be honest I have never really used this mode as I have found it quite a meaningless...

TOCA World Touring Cars

Advantages: Great Game
Disadvantages: 1 of many already on the market!

...the corners and outbraking the CPU cars into tight corners. When it comes to action you are always right in the thick of it. Codemasters have added a lot of new features to the existing formula. A career mode has been added in which you start by joining a national team, with the aim of working you way up to international championships and eventually the world championship. To succeed in TOCA World Touring Cars takes skill and plenty of practice, but Codemasters have made it such an enthralling and rewarding game that even when you spin off after leading the pack, you just want to dive in and try again. The game positively eggs you on to have another go. So a huge amount has been added to the game and in my opinion all of it good. If belting gorgeously realistic cars round the finest selection of circuits, at dangerously fast speeds sounds...

taking the tour

Advantages: accessories, ease of use, price
Disadvantages: for some the size might be a put-off

...has a clock and temperature reader. At any point in my journey I can just look down and check the time or when standing outside the school I can know just who cold it is! The wheels turn easily and smoothly. It used to be that some 4-wheel buggies were hard to navigate but this one has no trouble turning a corner. Just to give you an idea I was in town today with my usual Starbucks in one hand and piloting the buggy with the other. I purchased my Graco travel system from Babies R Us for £260 and there was a promotion to get the £100 accessories pack free. There are various Quattro Tour systems and at very different prices. I think the cheapest of which is around £150. The accessories pack made it so I had the buggy itself, the car seat, one car base, changing bag, foot cosy, carrycot attachment, and rain cover. Was a great deal and I saw...

Review of Graco Quattro Tour Travel System

The Origionals Are Always The Best

Advantages: Its so playble, its not too hard but not too easy
Disadvantages: only two player

...Toca Touring Car Championship was the first game I ever game I had for my playstation and I?m glad to say that it is probably still one of the best driving games I have ever played on. If you haven?t already guessed from the title of the game it is all about the touring car circuit and includes all the team from the championships which include teams such as Ford, Volvo, Honda, Nissan and many more. The opening menu has 4 available options Start Race Game Options High Scores Memory Card Start Race ? if you want to get straight into a race then you choose this option and you get the choice to have a single race, a time trial or a Championship In the single race mode you can have single player mode in which you race against loads of other computer players (I think there are eight in the race) and you can qualify if...

A Tour of La Tour

Advantages: Great views, beautiful at night
Disadvantages: Not good if you're frightened of heights, there are better views of the city,

...around a corner and the Tour Eiffel stood majestically before him. Ah oui... Histoire de la Tour Eiffel There's something magical about the Tour Eiffel. It's become the symbol of Paris, the symbol of France itself, and yet it was never meant to stand for more than a year. It was originally supposed to be erected in Barcelona, but plans designed by Gustave Eiffel were rejected. Construction finally began in Paris, where the tower was to create an entrance archway for the Exposition Universelle in 1889. 120 years later...and the Eiffel Tower continues to stand the test of time, despite being branded an eyesore by many of the great French names of the day. One of its greatest critics was Guy de Maupassant, the French writer who allegedly dined at one of the Eiffel Tower's restaurant every day as it was the only place in Paris where he...

Review of Tour Eiffel, Paris

Touring cars just got better

Advantages: Smash and bash or race cleanly
Disadvantages: None really to speak about

...mode that caters for up to four gamers using a split-screen viewing mode. Uncompromising in its simulation of real racing conditions, World Touring Cars is nevertheless easily accessible, thanks to driver assistance options as well as recommended car setups. And though only real skill will lead to the top of the Championship career mode, the jaw-dropping combination of looks and guts will ensure the long road to the top is an always-entertaining one. The touring car series are my favourite racing series on the playstetion....

Car Auctions

Advantages: Vast choice
Disadvantages: Easy to pick up a duffer! Payment options limited

...I'm a veteran of the car auctions and I will share some of my knowledge and opinions with you. Statement You can save loadsa money! Truth. Only on forecourt prices which are over the top anyway Advice. If you go to an auction go with someone who knows the score or you'll be sorry. You'll see lots of dealers there who will be looking for the cream to sell off their forecourts. If they swarm around it it's worth bidding on. Remember that they pay less commission on their bids than the public so they can afford to compete with you on the bids. When you see the driver bring the car in don't be afraid to ask them questions like " is the clutch ok"? Also open the bonnet look for leaks listen for taps and if it's been steam cleaned leave it alone! Look at the windscreen sheet to determine the mileage, mot length and service history...
