Is BOSS the same as EuroBOSS, in which Scott Mansell, who is not related to Nigel Mansell, set a lot of outright UK lap records?

That's the one! The championship changed name name to BOSS recently. 'Big Open Single Seaters'.

Ah! I wondered if it stood for anything...

James Allen, on his favourite F1 engine of all time: "...the Life W12, I can't describe the noise to you, but imagine filling your dustbin with nuts and bolts, and then throwing it down the stairs, it was something akin to that!"
BTCC. I don't know if you can get V8 Supercars in the UK (I would watch it if I could) but BTCC is a fine alternative . Close racing, great drivers and 6 hours of coverage in a Sunday!
Failing that, I watch highlights of British GT, F3 and F Ford on 4OD.
Martin Brundle for FIA president. We need someone with common sense up in the ivory tower of power.
I hope Jeoren Slaghekke gets into F1 just so I can say that I've talked to an F1 driver.
British Touring Cars, mainly because the 1st round of the 1993 BTCC was shown on the BBC's Grandstand on the same day that I watched me 1st ever F1 race, hence me name, and I'd only just turned 3...
The Indy 500 victories of Dario Franchitti won me back to cheer for IndyCar after re-unification.
"I don't think we should be used to finance (the manufacturers') R&D because they will produce that engine anyway" said Monisha Kaltenborn. "You will never see a Mercedes using a Ferrari engine or the other way round."
I was happy to accept free tickets to watch the World Series by Renault at the weekend at Silverstone. The biggest cheers were for Josh Hill each time he overtook. Of all the motorsport I have watched at Brands, Silverstone, Donnington and Thruxton (only been once last weekend to watch Trucks and Minis), never has one driver been so universally cheered on by the crowds than Josh Hill, rivalled possibly only by his father at the 1996 British GP, Pippa Mann at the WSR at Donnigton a few years ago or Jason Plato in the BTCC.

People actually cheer Plato? The only time I went to see the BTCC at Silverstone they weren't particularly although IIRC his car wasn't particularly competitive at the time.
The people around me were cheering the proper racers like Giovanardi, Neal and Jackson. You know, the ones who don't push people off the track constantly, cheat, moan and whinge about how all the other cars are faster/have different engines/are prettier/have more aerodynamic door handles (delete as appropriate)

Occasionally. He's the one driver many non-hardcore fans have heard of, I guess, thanks to his TV work.)

Star Mazda Series. I don't know if its still televised by SPEED, but when it was, the racing was fantastic, mainly due to the chaotic nature of the drivers. Does anyone know where this series is televised?
