Would btcc be more popular if they ran TCR regulation like the rest of the world. So cars from all round the world can race. Like back in early super toureres and they then had a few "world " races and "euro" races where drivers can use the car they race. But the BTCC is the only championship that run the NGTC regulations. Also another point has the intrsr in "cars " ingeneral died off slightly. Less modified cars on the road etc so less people intrested.

It's close racing. Better than F1.

The older Y-Spoke rims are more desirable.

how much did the whole kit cost?!

Heated steering wheel and seats are a must. They are standard in the lowest ID3 trim. If you don't want to use the heater in winter to extend dramatically the range.

The TT is still a fantastic looking/beautifully designed car, inside and out. But I can't stand when they have the fixed rear wing/spoiler. Completely ruins the iconic TT lines for me.

Trashola design

I have one since 3 weeks and super happy with it! it does charge a bit quicker though, I have a 11 kw wallbox and charge full in 5h45. Although I usually put it on 7,7kw (here in Belgium you have to pay for peak consumption)

just personally speaking I think it's probably more popular right now than its been in the last 20 years. every year I go to the track the crowds are noticeably bigger, seems like every 3 or so years they sign a new long deal with ITV, more and more people I know who aren't even racing fans have been talking about watching it. it will never be as big as it was in the 90s just because they were throwing F1 money at it (which was unsustainable). it's a shame because what everyone wants is big teams and big international names coming over and racing, but it's just not like that anymore. the collapse of tcr and dtm is disappointing, especially because touring cars as a concept seems to be fading away for more gt style racing. I do think the BTCC is very much alive and well, but the next couple years are very important to get right. the impression is that teams are leaving and the cars are too expensive.. the truth is a lot of the teams that have left were either already struggling or relied on manufacture backing (like dynamics with honda). it's just part of the cycle, but they have to make sure it doesn't keep happening. (just my opinion) I've been enjoying it more over the last 5 years and I think the last 3 or so seasons have only gotten better.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Awesome car, was considering but ended up getting an F30 LCI 335D as it was cheaper to buy/tax/insure, better mpg and gets 800nm easily with stage 2

I enjoyed watching the video review 😊

Is there any particular reason why the Uk version of Sportage does not include electronic suspension?

I feel the car's are so expensive and easily broken that the hard wheel banging racing is slowy disappearing

The Dolphin is the best small EV in Europe atm. Because of the blade (LFP) battery it will outperform NMC based EV Cars lifetime with recharge cycles. So the best choice for private customers imo.

The racing been pretty good this season and the hybrid and option tyres are working well so far

Great car, awful infotainment system, especially at night, borders dangerous imo

I have a 2024 Kia Sportage PHEV Xline Prestige in the US. 2 months in and I average 95% of my driving is on EV mode and 5% HEV. On EV only, I get around 40-42 miles range per 85% battery usage in daily suburban driving 35mph to 40mph speed limit (down to 15% car will switch to HEV). I always drive about 5 mph over the speed limit. Kia has it at 34 miles range on EV, but I'm averaging 6-8 miles range above. So I would guess the 34 miles range is for drivers with a heavy foot. My final verdict is EV range is above the advertise 34 miles range spec.

Hi , I m thinking to buy velar 2022 petrol 2.0 engine with 11000 miles ,any advice what I should check before buy

Time for Alan Gow to wake up and smell the TCR Regs Daisy's that's what is needed to Revive the BTCC scrap the three Races and and have 20 min Sprint Race and then a 90 minute Endurance Race as Race 2

Hi it originally came in other car or you install personally

I buckled up and watched the whole review. Shouldn't have tapped out early the first time as it was genuinely entertaining and well done. Looking forward to more content. For those considering a sport this is also worth a watch. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z5NlkrBpyNXPc5c.html

Another fantastic review.I have a V2 cupra Formentor (white) but now considering a Born V3 edition but I’m an absolute nightmare trying to pick a colour though saw the Aurora blue in the showroom and it looked amazing if you guys could give your thoughts I’d appreciate it..👍

The btcc was at its peak for me with the group A sierras and then the super touring category. Now it seems very diluted with not a wide range of cars and generally sound a bit ropey

Mine will be delivered in 5 weeks, gone for connecta trim due to receiving 2nd degree burns in my bmw 430 off the leather 2 years back when we got 40+ degrees. Also didn’t see the need for heated seats as I very rarely used them in the bmw, maybe 10 times in 2 years, if they had a cooling seat option then I might’ve considered it….cant wait, loved the test drive when we bought it, 👌🏻

I got the 2016 GTD MK7 but would love to get the R 7.5 😍 😍 😍

Spontaneous combustion- ccp cover up about explosive batteries - some cars catch fire after 7 miles from new - car transporters burning to the ground - who the hell let these things be sold in the uk?

Also FFS buy a Toyota!

Absolute pieces of shit. We all know it. I'm so sick of the reviews I'm typing in real rime to the video. Tapping out at 3.32

My Sportage PHEV is almost identical to your tester. The Sportage in Germany, other than being left hand drive has adaptive dampers for the suspension which give the car a great ride. I use pure electric mode for in city driving, which I love because it‘s not only most efficient in the city, the silent running calms nerves in city traffic. On autobahn trips I use HEV mode, which barely ever taps into the electric range, effectively saving most of the charge for the city. (For me, in effect “save mode”). With mostly autobahn driving, I used 3/4 of a tank of fuel, and my electric range went down from 70 to 60 km, and that mostly because I often forget to select HEV when I start out driving. It would be nice if the car “remembered” the last drive setting. I charge my car once or twice a week for what I need. I don’t expect free charging (no free lunch). I use my Kia Charge account which gives me access to most charging companies, at least here in Germany. Just one time registering, inputting payment method and then you’re all set. Curiously the best price for charging is by my local utility, the Stadtwerk München at 50 cents per kilowatt hour. (It was 29 cents before the war in Ukraine broke out). I hope your experience improves. All the best.

thank god for itv4 btcc coverage.

i wouldnt let anyone park it in my driveway junk right off the showroom floor

I like BYD dolphin

I want to like it but that front no thanks it’s not for me and that’s coming from a Tesla owner

What tyres did the test car have ?

I absolutely love mine! Very spritley performance once the ling tyres are replaced. Ive managed 5.9 0-60 in the wet cold 5deg weather, you get lots of practice after 9k miles. Ive had the MG4, cupra born and kia ev Niro with 45k miles between them. Byd dealers are popping up more and more this year.

great host

My 2009 Honda Accord has 247,000 miles but it's damaged from an accident so I don't have alot of money and I am buy another 2008 Honda Accord with 250,000 mile but the car is clean, it's 1 owner!

If you could move this interior and put it in the MG4, you'd have the perfect small EV.

Got this two months ago in Nepal, it definitely is worth every penny.

I like the Dolphin and Atto3 but no BYD dealers anywhere around me, appreciate Rome wasn’t built in a day but the rule em selves out .. 😊

Another great video as always

What does BYD mean?

I've not missed a race in years and always attend my local circuit (Knockhill) and do not think it'd dead at all. We could do with some new teams coming to the sport though. Still enjoy it, closer racing than F1 that's for sure.

Haven't been to a race for years, so I thought I'd take the Mrs and our 7 year old to the BTCC at Brands a couple of weekends ago. Had I quick look on-line, and quickly made other plans. The GATE PRICES now... crazy... extra if you want a Grandstand... plus the food, plus the merch that the little boy will obviously want. TV only for us, I'm afraid.

I used to follow it. I've even gone to physically watch it a couple of times, in the 90s. Now I just find it dull I'm not sure why that is exactly. The cars are pretty bland I find If I watch it at all I will watch race one or some of it and then wander off to do something else. Mind you it's a similar thing with F1 for me these days as well.

"no I'm not old enough..." ouch I also dont get why BYD dont just use their proper name "Biyadi" instead of the backronym slogan of "Build your dreams". It's like Toyota calling themselves "Oh what a feeling" or Mazda "Zoom zoom".

not only affordable,but also with excellent appearance and functionality
