Some words of advice, a little something I picked up from my half-dozen clubman races:
Try to drive your car as fast as you can round the track. The trick is to drive it faster than everyone else, so that when you're going across the line at the end of the race, they're behind you.

Thank me later.

Thanks mate, I will indeed thank you next time I see you!

Good luck fella.

I'll be cheering you on from the Paddock Hill stand, really looking forward to it.

Cheers

Shame, I'm sure I heard talk of a Octavia racing this season

[Allyc85]

Ive seen on FB that there is a 15 minute shakedown at 5.30 if anyone is in the area

[IainW]

Quite a sensible idea with so many cars having little or no running.

A major sponser of the team backed out around january so couldn't get the car built.

They do get put on ITV player eventually don't they, what about the support races?

Not sure about the BTCC races themselves (other than the highlights package) but you can see the support programs repeated on air in bite sized chunks over the season as "Motorsports UK"...

[P I Staker]

Oops.

[Allyc85]

Bugger! The main chassis dosnt seem too bad from the outside and it looks like alot of panel damage.

[P I Staker]

I agree it looks straight, I suppose they might get it sorted for tomorrow.



Side exit with flames FTW.

I think it is because the cars at the top are RWD AND have turbos. Obviously unfair.

Surprised the Works Hondas so low down.

Tom Onslow Cole dark horse for championship ?

[EDLT]

Is Jordan's Civic the old model or the new one?
