Narrowing down the 39 TOCA support champions to a final top 10 of the past decade was a tricky, but fun, task for one of the final weekly editions of the mag. Doing so reminded me of some incredible performances from over the years! Here's a slightly longer online version
A future #F1 title contender and a #BTCC all-time great are among the drivers to have raced in the TOCA support categories in the past 10 seasons. Having reported on these series for a decade, @sdlickorish has picked out his top 10 drivers:

@AlanHydeStudio Yes, it was epic! And thank you for showing me around on Tuesday - it was a great way to start the Macau week!

It's rained every day in Macau since Wednesday, but nothing like the deluge we've had this morning. The TCR World Tour Guia race has been postponed indefinitely. Supposedly, things will brighten up this afternoon - but then again it wasn't meant to rain today...

My first trip to Asia is under way! Had a lovely first night in Macau - what an incredible place it is - and have now just completed a walk of most of the distinctly damp (how British!) track

Always great to see the Mini 7 Racing Club in action at a BTCC meeting, especially at Thruxton

Such terribly sad news. The determination Joel showed to get back behind the wheel after his diagnosis was inspirational and my thoughts are with his family
Former Ginetta Junior and British Formula 4 racer Joel Pearson has died aged just 19 after a courageous three-year battle with cancer. Autosport sends sincere condolences to Pearson’s family and friends at this devastating time.

Very sad news. Two legends of UK motorsport have left us in the past two weeks - first Neil Brown, then Peter Baldwin
Britain’s greatest Mini racer, Peter Baldwin, died in Cambridge’s Addenbrooke’s Hospital last Saturday. Marcus Pye pays tribute ⬇️

After Le Mans last week, it's back to the BTCC supports again now at Oulton Park for the final event before the summer break. British F4 qualifying is now under way

The grandstands are absolutely packed at Le Mans as the start of the race approaches. The track has been declared wet - adding another variable into the mix

Great to be at Le Mans in this 100th anniversary year. First practice is now under way

Very disappointing news. I've argued against the rule change on the basis that it's impossible to police fairly, consistently and accurately. But, putting that to one side, changing the rules in the middle of the year is just utterly baffling
🗣️"Without any deterrents, the grass and earth beyond the kerbs just gets abused." @ourmotorsportuk has confirmed that a controversial stricter definition of a track-limits breach will be implemented across all UK car racing events from 1 June ⬇️

Good to be at Donington Park for first round of the BTCC support series. Stop/start for the Minis, though, with three red flags already in qualifying...

"It's like trying to crack a nut with a sledgehammer," says one club chief about these track-limits proposals. I believe they're completely unworkable, punish those making innocent mistakes and take the fun out of motorsport. Here's why I think they're deeply flawed:
UK national racing faces a proposed overhaul of track-limits regulations. 📝 @sdlickorish argues why the overhaul appears not only unworkable, but risks alienating competitors at a delicate time:
