Contrary to expectation (after a cold and cloudy Saturday), the annual Touring Cars meeting at Oulton Park yesterday was blessed with a whole day of sunshine on Sunday. The crowds were out in force, as always: I’m told this venue has the largest attendance of any BTCC meeting.
Stationed at the Hilltop post, we had a good view of quite a few interesting incidents, and the pleasure of watching fellow marshals working hard, but for us the day was largely uneventful. One of the Ginetta Juniors made the tyre wall a bit untidy, coming out of the hairpin, and Aron Smith pulled off just over the crest in the last race, but that was about it.
Nice to have a day on the bank without being either soaked or frozen, and some good racing as a bonus.
