Definitely the hottest

RoboCod · 22 Apr 2013 at 14:34

Nahh! She was very nice, but I couldn't help but wonder what her face looked like under all that make up

(not that I'm judgmental or anything)

You could say that for all of the girls!! I thought she was one who actually wore the least...

Janesy B · 22 Apr 2013 at 14:45

She's nice but about 8ft tall.

RoboCod · 22 Apr 2013 at 14:46

Hey shorty, that probably doesn't suit you

Janesy B · 22 Apr 2013 at 14:50

The height I can get over (fnar) but the Leeds accent is a right turn off for me

Ok, some car pics.

May put a few more up later.

Turkington was flying in race 3. I'm really glad to see him back, and he's certainly got that BMW in the mix already!!!

Cheers for these. Unfortunately missed the race this weekend.

Were AMD/Miltek there this meeting? I randomly passed their truck headed away from Snetterton/Norwich. Thought that was a little odd...

Skeeter · 22 Apr 2013 at 16:15

They still running the Golf? If so, yes they were, although they didn't have much luck.

Great pics!

Yeah. I saw James with his family after the first race clutching a trophy.

Yeah, but from that S2000 only class cup thing, which only has about 4 competitors. They were well down the order overall. They then crashed in the second race and retired from the 3rd.

That's going to be the case, since the NGTC are more powerful, with bigger brakes and wider tyres...

I'm moving house to 35 miles from Brands Hatch, so just thought I will go both days to the second BTCC round there and scope out some good photos. Can you get round the GP loop as a spectator?

Went to Brands for last year's BSB final round. On the GP circuit you can get to the entirety of it, but not the outside of the top end of the circuit. I drew this (rough) diagram:

Red areas are accessible.

Parity between S2000 Turbo and NGTC was promised until the end of 2012. As of this year the NGTC cars get increased performance.

The leading S2000 cars were dicing with James Cole, that's about as close as they got at Donington.

Cheers Marvin. Ill go for a wander around the GP loop. You never seem to see many people round there on the TV coverage? I seem to remember chatting to someone about it and there isn't any speakers for the commentary round there?
