That wasn't BTCC Jeff Smith doing a BTCC on the Lamborghini was it?

(expects "yes" to be the answer)

Didn't realise he was in the race until that moment. Not a great way to make your mark.

Didn't Matt Neal do this race some years back and make an arse of himself on track ?

ETA: I wonder how many couples have ended up coming in to contact with each other on track ?

I think the Smith car got a slap over the wrists for punting the lambo.

That was a big shunt!

[Crafty_]

master cylinder leak/failure apparently, must have been a hard hit.

Nismo are savage

[FourWheelDrift]

Very happy with the stream so far, very good quality and reliable no stuttering. Got it via my chromecast on my TV.

[FourWheelDrift]

What...a...dick.

did you know?

Craig Baird 20th in the 1998 championship - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_British_Touring...

hm, interesting.

Quite a record since though : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Baird

[swooshiain]

Don't think he'll be too proud of that move - looked like a simple rush of blood to the head!

[Crafty_]

Got away with it lightly too, 10 seconds is bugger all.

[LaurasOtherHalf]

M-Sport in lead

[FourWheelDrift]

Diesel Bentley.

[swooshiain]

Never mind making bunny cry, the Bentayga makes my eyes bleed. I don't like these "luxury SUVs" as a rule, but the Bentley looks particularly bad - up there with the Cayenne and the Urus. Ugh.

[Crafty_]

Someone at work was telling me they "tested" them on the grand tour thing, the cost of the options on the bentley cost the same as one of the other cars (might have been a range rover...)

[FourWheelDrift]

£52,000 worth of extras on the Bent-urgh-a which was £1000 more than the total value of the Jaguar F-Pace (with lots of extras) they tested.

Gordon Sheddon did it in 2015.

Nicely beached Porsche

Unusual issue for the KTM - windscreen popped open and won't lock closed

[smack]

Some dark skies it shot. Quick check on the weather gives 30% of showers before the race is over
