BTCC 2013 Season

That was a good day. Even the traffic on the way out wasn't too bad. Remembered my hat this time, so I'm OK. Caught the wind a bit though.

Newshams spin at the Craner Curves was a bit frightening in race three!

We got a little sun burn too deceptively chilly wind though. Where did you sit? We got on the inside of redgate for the first race then on the chicane before the grid for the rest. Good times.

Inside Craners for the most part.

Final corner for the last race.

All the cars ming this year apart from Rob Austin racing :/

Most of the liveries look like explosions in day glow paint factories. The BMWs look OK, but they are the best of a bad bunch.

Works Hondas are fine, MG is a bit meh but way better than last years "let loose a three year old with Windows Paint" special. Adam Morgans is good, as is the Passat. I don't particularly like Rockstar, but that's mainly because it's slapped on every second car in Forza Motorsport that doesn't have a Monster or Red Bull sticker slapped on it.

Rob Austin's Wix car is head and shoulders above the rest.

I preferred the reteo Audi colour inspired one he used do run. Went with his retro helmet of awesomeness

Quickly processed some drivers in black and white for some reason.

Andrew Jordan misread the "wear cool shades" memo

Duke · 22 Apr 2013 at 06:59

How did I know Rob Austin was going to have aviators :cool:

The two pics I uploaded before falling asleep at my desk last night...

Me in the Dunlop hat looking like a squashed gimp during the pit walk.

Was an excellent weekend, got a shiny red nose thanks to the sun on Saturday! Was a bit chiller on Sunday however!

Skeeter · 22 Apr 2013 at 10:45

Thats a good spot above the pitlane. Hospitality unit?

Could you see the chicane from there?

Those photos were taken on the Saturday, from the grandstand. Yeh you can see the chicane, it was a really good spot, and relief from the sun!

On the Sunday I was at the old hairpin for race 1, redgate for race 2, and esses for race 3.

I was there yesterday, managed to get on the grid before the start of the second race, I'll post some pics later.

Platos girl was the hottest. Did you manage to get a photo of her?

Skeeter · 22 Apr 2013 at 13:13

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?

peterattheboro · 22 Apr 2013 at 13:22

A girl's head.
