BTCC Rockingham

[Sebring440]

Looking forward to Rockingham. Plenty of frustrated drivers looking to get back on the rails and increase their championship point.

Rob Collard has vowed to "attack at every opportunity", so who's he going to punt off the track next?

Pretend you're sick tomorrow.

But Saturdays are very interesting days. No crowds and very exciting during qualifying!

(Plus you can get in and out of the circuit without any bother.)

How many red flags were there in FP1?

FP2: Subarus seem to have pace, despite Plato's protestations. I see he clipped a kerb and damaged his sump. With Turkington's blistering 1:22.9 in FP2 it will be interesting to see what Plato achieves in qualifying.

Sounds like the weather is pretty bad at Rockingham. Team Hard reporting several awnings in the main and support paddocks have collapsed.

Here's Jack Goff's hospitality unit. All sorted now with lots of help from the ever-enthusiastic supporters.

Great racing today, I always enjoy the atmosphere at Rockingham, one of my favourite circuits.

Aiden Moffat did well with two top-ten finishes, in spite of on-going fuel supply problems. Morgan's Merc doesn't have the problem, so hopefully it's something they can cure before Silverstone.

First time I've been to Rockingham.... How on earth does the place keep going?

Who decided a 55000 all seater stadium was s good idea?

No big screens for spectators

No access in field

Who funds the place? Surely it's running at a loss?

Decent days racing but can't say I'll be rushing back to Rockingham

Why would you need big screens when you can see all the track? I like Rockingham, the atmosphere is terrific and the roar and cheering from the grandstand when someone makes a skilled move is wonderful.

We can't all like the same things, but Rockingham is one of my favourite circuits.
