Donington: BTCC & support chat
Discussion
I finally caught up with Race 3 on ITVX. Really fun race, well done to Moffat for holding them off, good race for Huffy although Watson seemed strangely off the pace all weekend, had him tipped as a dark horse for the title. It looks like the hybrid boost really makes a difference this year, and is it me or does Mr Turkington look a bit more fired up this year?

Was on a trackday when it was only drizzling, but the cloud was so low you could only see the landing gear as the planes were on approach over the circuit. Slipperiest surface I've ever experienced. That was the first time someone explained to me how the unburned fuel mixes with the rain.
I've been there on other occasions when it was wet, but felt like any other wet circuit.
Probably one for a different thread on a different forum, but are plane engines particularly inefficient then?I've been there on other occasions when it was wet, but felt like any other wet circuit.
If car and truck exhausts did the same busy motorways would be undriveable.
Just watch the broadcast from Donnington, and yes it cut out before the last race.
I thought Jade was excellent, very natural and has great insight having raced in Fiestas and BTCC, a very welcome addition to the presenting team.
The new hybrid set up seems to work well and created more overtaking but I’m not sure about the limited grid size this year.

As said grids won't get much bigger. They committed to 24 years ago and have been slowly getting there but the demise of Hard and One taking a sabbatical pushed it under faster than expected.
I'm quite happy to accept quality & exciting racing over quantity.Twenty four will be plenty...

Meanwhile British GT's are getting 40+ car grids
And your point is?Alan Gow has said for a few years now that he felt the BTCC grid was too big.
Perhaps egor110 needs to explain what he means.

I guess one series that traditionally has full grids is struggling this year and another series is booming.
BTCC is only 4 cars off the maximum grid size it wants plus GT racing is a completely different thing. Oulton Park there were 19 GT3's and 17 GT4's which compares well with BTCC which is a single class series.It's comparing apples to oranges.
