Plato for champ! It's also nice that his MG is looking less horrific this year.
The WSR Beemer's new paint job is also a notable improvement.
I'm not keen on the BTCC lead commentator though, I miss Ben Edwards. Harvey's pretty good though.

True, but at least its only in small doses.
Toby Moody was an awful BTCC commentator, he clearly was never into 4 wheel motorsport.
Hope the new guy knows his stuff, and isn't as dramatic as Toby used to be, used to get on my nerves. Ben Edwards was great and used to enjoy his commentary. Tim Harvey is a bit boring, but certainly knows his stuff

Interesting read about this years tyre rules...

There's no equality anyway, last year you had two classes of cars running for the same title and you had Neal/Shedden moaning about boost pressure limits imposed on them. It'll make things more interesting IMHO.

Hang on, how does this work if it rains during the day?
If one team choses to run softs in the first race, and another chooses softs in the last, but it rains between races 2 and 3 making 3 a wet race, it will mean one team will got soft/hard/wet while the other team went hard/hard/wet, which seems rather unfair?
It would be better if they could chose the tyres right up to the start of each race, but could only use the softs once.

Nope, you choose which race will be your soft tyre race before qualifying, so over 24 hours in advance.
That's a bit rubbish then. That said, Jordan set the quickest lap of the day at the Donington Test/Media Day on a soft tyre, so it can't be that bad...
