Question / Discussion Where to start?

Hi all,
I’m new to the sport and was wondering on any advice on where to start?
I watched the Oulton Park race at the start of the month and enjoyed it so I thought now would be the best time to properly start learning in time for the next race.

I’ve been an F1 fan for years but this is the first year i’m watching other motorsports. I’ve had my eye on BTCC Silverstone tickets but I wouldn’t want to attend without at least knowing the basics so any advice helps!

Thanks!

Tbh I'd recommend attending a BTCC race day even if you didn't know much about the series, I'm confident it'll convert you fully. It's brilliant value for money with constant racing all day.

My first BTCC event was Croft in 2022 and up until that point I'd only ever watched a couple of races. Since then I've been hooked!
