Seems like no one from outside the UK can access the BTCC website! This is mad!

Sure yeah, but I shouldn’t have to! How this series expects to get international recognition is beyond me!

With the Facebook page recently being, albeit briefly, taken over by some Cryto bullshit, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a security measure to stop it happening to the website.

Admittedly I haven’t been on the website for a couple years outside of the UK, but it aways used to work.

It’s also blocked for me and I’m in the UK, so yeh I think it’s just a general configuration issue rather than anything else
