Crazy choice to use wets, was quite funny watching them trying to keep them under control in the dry

Would be interesting to see a breakdown of all the costs needed to run a race team.

Whose bloody idea was it to put the last race online only, shambles again by ITV.

Platos Lacetti from last year is going for over £60k so it's not cheap

I suspect someone thought the IPL final was more important.

Had my first experience of BTCC this weekend at Rockingham, had such an amazing time. The weather was insanely good on Saturday, though would have been good to have a bit of rain in the afternoon for race 3 on Sunday. It was crazy putting wets on when the formula renaults had already managed to stay on the track in the damp morning!

Might grab tickets for the next round at Brands Hatch since it's a bit more local

Nash's avatar paint job was pretty slick!

I have got the 1993-1999 VHS tapes put on to DVD and over the last couple of weeks I am gradually watching them. I have to say that the racing then was fantastic, the BTCC was full of characters and some superb nose-to-tail racing. Seems a long way off now......

I will probably put those VHS tapes on here soon, if its allowed.

Stinky · 30 Apr 2010 at 15:51

ahhh im at brands now in the camp site. love the sound of those touring cars. bring on the racing

Grumps82 · 30 Apr 2010 at 22:21

Nice one, have a good weekend. Get some pics on here if its allowed. Oh and for extra kudos, we need a touring car driver (a decent one) to hold up a OcUK sign (or just a bit of paper).

Are you up to it :-)

thepharcyde · 1 May 2010 at 10:31

Hopefully Chilton and finish were he left off last race meet here

Just don't let Plato passed this time

Cleland was and always will be my hero

Cleland + Cav GSi = WIN

Love that bit when he gives Soper the bird and MW says 'Cleland says I'm going for First'

Soper should've been shot for that move on Cleland BTW

thepharcyde · 2 May 2010 at 12:36

Woohoo, go Ford.

I could have sworn I saw Alan Gow driving a Ferrari F40 in Dorset today. Was driving along the duel carriage way and past me, naturally I had the window open.
