BTCC rd1 brands hatch
Discussion
So after a long winter and the most active off season in years the btcc is back in action on the brands hatch indy circuit.
2014 looks to be the most hotly contested year for a long time with 7 previous champions including Andrew Jordan, Matt Neal, Gordon shedden, Jason plato, Colin turkington with the return of Fabrizio Giovanardi and Alain menu. Along with that is a 31 car entry with new car, teams and drivers. Wont put the entire gird on here as they are in the main PH article and the 2014 news thread.
Racing get under way with practice, quali on sat quali will be live in itv website if it works is another matter, with 3 support racing after in. The main races are on sunday.
One of the first years where you cannot predict the results as there are so many drivers and teams that are in with a realistic hunt of a win with the likes of Honda/mg/pirtek/motorbase/wsr/rar/united autosport and even bmr with Alain menu driving all have a chance of winning races.
I will be recording all the action and watching later as Im organising a drive out stupidly forgot it was the same day as the first rd whoops. Anyone going there should be a packed day and a great atmosphere.
Cant wait for all the news to end and the racing to begin btcc is back.
For new viewers action start from 11am on itv4 until 6pm wich includes the 3 btcc races along with support action from ginetta/formula ford/Porsches/clio cup.

Some good news on the support race front that every series had at least 13 runners in their test sessions today, and seeing as some don't test before the races we could be looking at grids of 15ish or above for all the support races at Brands this weekend, which is a miracle after what it looked like a couple of weeks ago!

As long as they're not a load of one-offs and disappear for the next meeting.Looking forward to watching qualifying tomorrow and listening to TOCA Radio too for the other sessions.

king nutcase, but such a top bloke.
Looks like a good set up for the races tomorrow, turks got to be odds on for 1st come the first corner whatever happens after that is all ups for grabs can't wait for it.
Allthough I will be watching it after I come home so can fast forward all the crap Porsche and ff races. Atleast the ginetta's are keeping the grids up especially the juniors which are back into 20+ cars. Oh and even though the Porsche's and ff grids are low they are a little higher than last year ridiculous grids of less than 10.
Well I stop my ramblings now and leave you all to it tomorrow will watch it in the evening.
