BTCC Silverstone

[Sebring440]

It's all hotting up now, with the penultimate set of rounds at Silverstone next week.

The championship seems wide open, and as has been the case for the past few years, I wonder if the championship will be decided on the third race at Brands in October.

I understand Plato is increasingly unhappy with Turkington being in the same "team". Has Plato enough (financial) influence within Warren Scott's team to force the issue next season?

What is the access and parking like on Sunday into and out of silverstone as not been before ? How long should I allow from m1 Junction 15a to circuit?

As noted above, it's a big circuit and the BTCC crowds don't tax it very much.

It will take about 15 minutes from M1 15A to the circuit, straight through, dual carriageway all the way.

Watch out for a speed camera a few miles after you've left the motorway.

Nice to see Matt Neal get his just desserts after his assault on Moffat.

Aiden did well to hang on. It really looked as if Neal moved over deliberately just to tag Aiden. He's been doing it all season to the boy.

Great result for Aiden over the three races though (999!) and a testament to the skills of the whole Laser Tools team. Getting that new engine fitted in time for qualifying was a tremendous feat.

After the tag from Neal in race 1 the Merc had damaged front suspension. They adjusted it out as best they could and that seemed to be successful for the next two races, but the car will need work in the preparation for Brands.
