Snetterton is the one where you used to be able to get lost in a field of wheat or corn.I thought it was Croft or Thruxton that had the vegetable fields
I hate Brands Indy as much as I love Brands GP. It's great for trackside spectators (though Knockhill is better), but terrible for racing. Defend. Defend. Defend.

Hehe, good knowledge As much as I love the main touring car racings, I can't help but get more execited by the Ginetta Juniors. It's a shame they keep persisting in racing Porsches, as more Ginettas would be far more entertaining and a lot better value for money.

I've never seen a decent Porsche Cup race, no matter where I've seen it. Dan Cammish is just miles better than everyone else which doesn't help.
Clio race wasn't bad, plenty of action. I agree that it's more difficult to overtake on the Indy circuit, as passing into Paddock Hill is only possible with a great run up from Clearways and passing into druids is only doable with a great run through paddock. Takes a whole lap to line up for a pass, but it makes it worth it when it happens. Especially trackside with the atmosphere.

At one time I used to pride myself at watching the full day of racing on itv, but now when the Porsches come on, it's the signal to get a brew on and hang out the washing etc.

Total chaos, Ingram at fault for mucking people about.

Inside druids is a great place to stand but I wish there were some big screens as we had no idea what was happening with Plato at the start. Manic race though, which is why we watch the BTCC

That was a good race A proper touring car race where afterwards the marshalls have to go round picking up random bits of cars from arl ower.

Did anyone see the Silverstone April Fool prank about running the circuit anti-clockwise this year?

Great bit with Plato talking about re-surfacing with left-handed Tarmac and the marshals practicing waving flags with their left hands.

ffs get over the sound thing, or you really will kill the sport, young people will not be interested in inefficient obscenely loud engines. It is a technological development sport and the more you remove that the more you kill it, as there are far better formulas for pur racing that f1 will never be able to compete with on that level.

Bold quote from Jean Todd there, suggesting that the Honda engine is capable of producing 900 bhp.

Would there be enough in the WEC for me to start a thread for the up coming season?
