Yep, I'll be there.

 

[Mr Men]

Anyone fancy a Plato sandwich

 

[GravyMonster]

Ah, the first innocent press shot...

That spawned a photoshop frenzy...

 

[Janesy B]

I lol'd

 

[Skeeter]

Almost as good as the Hamilton GQ shoot.

 

[Janesy B]

God I hate Plato so much. Will the boxes have little wheels and motors to push other sandwiches off the shelf?

Ah nice!

You did suggest it was a second car as it wasn't Rob driving and didn't have all the same stickers on it as Robs.

How many people can say they have been on track with a BTCC car

Yep doubt we'll have another track day like it

Put together two clips, although the speed it went past us whilst on track probably gives a better sense of speed.

 

[Mr Men]

So ITV are only showing race 1 and 2 live then it goes to tennis, and race 3 is shown at 8pm, nice job!

 

[Janesy B]

You can watch live online still I think.

Just watching the DTM on +1 whilst waiting for the BTCC to come on - BTCC needs more awesome looking cars like these

First race about to start

 

[Kenai]

Plato not starting?

Knew I shouldn't have gone to get a drink

 

[Janesy B]

Weld split on a suspension competent.

Did I hear right that it was a faulty weld on the wishbone? A TOCA supplied wishbone at that should have rushed back to the pits and slapped another on ffs it's only a couple of bolts to change and could have started from the pits

They did.

They found it about 2 minutes before the start, and he joined the race half way through, so took them about 15 minutes to change a wishbone.

DTM cars do look fantastic, but the racing is pretty poor because the cars are too reliant on aerodynamics.

Yep. Not to mention they are ludicrously expensive.

 

[Janesy B]

I'd rather see cars on track that bare a resemblance to the ones you can buy.
