Bumper Cars for Adults!

I recently found out the awesomeness that is the British Touring Car Championships (BTCC). It is a series based upon production cars, and not even anything exotic, but ones anyone can buy off the showroom floor, driven by either robots, or absolutely legally insane drivers. The passing is awesome, the racing is super close, the skill is ridiculous. Intensity to the max!

Here is a compilation clip I found on the web. Pardon the music, and though it says highlights, don't be mistaken, what it depicts is what the BTCC is all about.



The BTCC, where passing = contact, where contact = racing, where racing = crashing. Where a "race" is where guys come together to vent their aggression on each other resulting every time in a big fight. The only race series where broken cars may be strewn about because the crews doesn't have time to clean them up. AWESOME!

(The vid is 07 highlights, but besides the slightly smaller group of cars, due to the economy perhaps, the racing is still as stupidly insane)
