Probably Turks for the win AGAIN, Would be nice to see Jordan up there again. Really hope BMW don't run away with it!

[MG CHRIS]

Think mg will do well here there sort of track both went well last year.

Snetterton is a big more of a Honda/MG track than BMW, knockhill is the last BMW track of the season now, but it'll be as close as always.

I can see the Passat's being up there as well. They're usually one of if not the quickest on the speed traps and the massive straight should help them a fair bit.

Re the Passat's - that would be good to see.

Jack Goffs Insignia is quick in straight as well, but not the best through the corners.

If they aren't up there at Snetterton they certainly will be at Silverstone

An interesting situation:

Goff's Insignia was quick in a straight line, as were the Passats. Since they've swapped to all Passats now, are the 2 who were in Insignias going to have to go back to base boost the same as if you changed engine supplier?

Whilst they're probably running the same engines, probably running mostly the same underskin structure as well, they've effectively changed car.

I`m really looking forward to this, I know it`s been a month since croft, but it seems AGES since the last round !.Some decent overtaking spots which should give us some good racing...

I know how you feel, seems like months since Croft ! A lot to look forward to as well, Goff and Scott in the VW, Stockton engine finally looks like it's in working order. Can't wait!

With all 4 cars being the same it might well help development or set ups 4 cars to try out on so more chances to find the correct set up also with all 4 being the same car no need to carry around 2 different sets of parts well body panels anyway.

Hope aj is ok sounds like a bad crash and hope he can be out tomorrow.

Plato does it in quali pole while team mates tordoff in 3rd and marc hines in 11.

Nice to have the btcc back wiil be watching the whole day in the comfort of my house.

[DanielSan]

Got a text from a mate today, the car was rebuilt in time but he came back into the garage looking in his words 'very very ill' Jordan was told by medics he couldn't go and drive today for qualifying and has got to be checked out again tomorrow morning.

Sounds like a fair wack and concussion afterwards.

[Northern_Monkey]

We'll see this morning but Andrew was a bit dazed when I spoke with him yesterday.

He's a racer so he'll want to be in the car but quite rightly given how big the hit was, they'll only let him out if 100% sure on his fitness.

[Northern_Monkey]

And it's a yes - he's cleared to race from the back of the pack

[oobster]

I'm watching this on ITV4. Starting to find Louise pretty annoying on the gridwalk.

[Allyc85]

Just a bit tight between the Vw lads!! Good racing so far!
