Live(ish) Britcar Reporting
Discussion
Well I've got loads of borrowed IT kit to somehow get working tomorrow and if the BT openzone holds up I'll Post some updates on this thread. They'll mainly be Biased towards the Moore Racing cars as they are the ones I'll know most about but I'll try and put in bits about the other key cars or requests.
I'll not commit to a regular update time as it will depend on my workload. as of 5pm Saturday my live revolves around a 2 minute 10 second timeframe...
Good luck everyone and have a great time

Minor Drama, the BMW picked up a puncture, and had to do a very slow inlap to prevent damage.
Fortunetly we were due a driver change and fuel stop so only lost a couple of laps
Roll centre have taken the overall lead ahead of the 2 duller cars
Top Gear Team still messing around with Jezzer,hamster and slow wandering up and down the pit lane

In case you weren't aware (and you can't see it in the photo above.) the Top Gear car is sponsored by 'Peniston Oils'. Lets see if you can guess where its split at the door line on the side of the car.
Oh and they're using two different Stigs so actually five drivers.
Just got back from my recce and I thought the standard of the cars was much higher this year, especially some of the 3 series, very nicely prepared but the standard of some the of the pits was shocking. Tools, parts and jacks just tossed around anywhere, how anyone would find anything in an emergency pit stop is beyond me.
One team, that shall remain nameless seemed to have spent more money on penny chews than they had on getting the car ready. Not kidding, they had more lollipops, pink shrimps and fruit salads than I've seen in some candy stores along with loads of crates of glucose drinks. And although I only stayed for an hour and a bit when I left they were sat in the pits trying and failing to get the car re started...

Lots Of people seem to be having tyre problems particularly the front left.
a few cars have been unlucky and gone off with it. But many more have limped back to the pits.
We ran for as long as we could on the short fuel fill and have now done another driver change With Paul Fenton behind the wheel.
We were up to 3rd in class but dropped to 5th after a disk change at the pit stop.
THe civic keeps pounding around Fine.
The duller z4m still tops the times followed by GTS and Shorty
Top gear hanging in in 38th.
The GT2 Porker next to us wrapped up and went home in the first hour !!!!!

Damnit, didn't occur to me to call you Graham - left an hour ago. I hear Hamster had an off from the webradio feed. Not good news, they were actually being remarkably serious during the day. Could have got you into Garage 0 too. 
My pal of Pride Engineering was well chuffed to have his engines coming in 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th in the Duratec S2000s, so that was a high point of the afternoon.
