Ummmmmmmm the first 5 laps of the Ginetta Junior race. WTF!?!?! Every weekend the races seem to get crazier and crazier.


Slightly surprised they haven't put out the safety car for Newshams car behind parked on the grass.

Oh dear, 1st and 2nd in MSA Formula collide under safety car conditions.

Second Porsche race was very good, feel Webster might lose the win though.

Clios were up for it, can he really get away with overtaking off the track to win?

How many times did Moffat want to punt Ingram sideways in race 3?!

3 good races today, as good as Silverstone can be anyway. I really think they should use the alternative short circuit though with the new section and then onto the Hangar straight.

There is already some gossip for next year aswell, Jordan 'apparently' leaving MG... at the moment think it's 50/50 whether he's going to be in a BMW or a VW.

Re Jordan.

Never could work out why they sold their own race team and then paid someone else to prepare and run an old car for them. Seems a strange decision.

So it seems we can't go a season without someone discussing Ollie's weight on live tv. This time Paul O'Neill being the (slightly hypocritical) culprit. Poor chap!

Couldn't believe how good these cars sound in the flesh, great day out, superb food and drink all day.

They seem perfectly happy building historic racing cars, and I'm guessing this year is just a transitional thing - I don't think they expected to win any titles this year, going into the last round with a remote chance of winning the title is a good achievement.

They got a couple of orders out of Goodwood Revival from what I understand. The build quality and attention to detail of their historic cars is fantastic.

Aiden Moffat is not an aggressive driver and would not dream of doing this to another driver.

Unless the other driver did it to him first, then Aiden takes no prisoners.

Oh right. You must have the Sky subscription version of the BTCC when you can choose what car you stay with all the time. The rest of us only see the snippets of each car the race director puts on ITV4.

Aiden is a clean driver, you can trust him to run door to door through corners. Take the piss and rough him up though, you'll get it back. Like Priaulx found out at Donny hehe

Building, running and prepping the historic cars makes money. Running your own btcc car doesn't... and it'll be Andy Jordans Pirtek sponsorship that's paying for the 888 drive.
