So only 3 days to go before Brands Hatch GP biggrin

Looking at the championship, I'm fully expecting it to come down to Race 3. I'd love to see Sam win, but I'm going to stick my neck out and say that it'll be Gordon Shedden winning as he seems really fired up. At least the weather forecast is looking dry!

Going as I got free tickets from Renaultsport! Would love to see Jackson take it, or if not another first time winner would be great

Hoping to see some of the young guns pushing for the front, while (perhaps) the title contenders maybe more cautious in avoiding damage, or not!!!

I'd like to see anyone but Collard win the Championship.

Same here! Special parking too which is nice as last time I went to BTCC finals we queued for 2hr just to get out the car park.

Also rooting for Jackson, but feel Turkington probably deserves it more as he's the only one that can pass without contact hehe

Hondas be damned - karma for their general shuntiness.

My Daughter and I will be there this Sunday. My Boss gave me one of his paddock passes so we can have a good stroll about smile

I'd like to see Tordoff take the title. Be nice to have another new champion and he's been very consistent this year!

Will the Hondas have enough grunt for the longer GP layout ?

And they'll have big ballast in race 1 and score poorly.

I'd like to see Mat Jackson do well but fear he's too far off in points.

They've won at Snetterton and Silverstone this year so that suggests they have enough power.

My exact thoughts as well, some of the Gordon Shedden's driving this year has been amazing.

Equally, I think Sam Tordoff and Mat Jackson would be deserving championship winners.

That makes sense, thanks. Great for rob but listen to the commentators whine about their favourite being disqualified! laugh

LOL, Tom's a good guy & Speedworks are a great team. Not the ideal way for us to get P2, but Rob put himself in contention with a great set of laps. I know everyone at Handy is beyond delighted with this.........means a helluva lot particularly with Rob confirming for next year thumbup
