Mmm... a bunch of idiots - that wouldn't know a brake pedal if a wrapped it round their stupid faces - on a tight circuit in the wet.

Not for me I'm afraid.

Not me either,

No way am I going to pay BTCC prices to watch a bunch of expensive banger racing!

...but they are supporting the Caterham Graduates... although the timetable dictates that the three classes only get 2 grids, should be fun!

I am part of the Scrutineering Team for the weekend. No idea what I'll be dong until I get there on Saturday morning probably.

I've avoided the BTCC for the last 5-6 years, but thought it might be worth giving it a try again. In my opinion, too much hassle, overcrowded padddock and a lack of on-track action spoiled it in the past. So this may be my last BTCC round for a while. It would be good if Gordon Shedden gets a home win though.

I'll be going Sunday only. But I happen to like the over rated banger racing (Yes it is going too far a times again)

I heard a rumour that Mr C McRae was guest racing in the Porche Cup?

I was planning to but now can't make it.

Look out for Incorrigible in the Caterham Grads (usually races under no57) Yellow and s/less steel car with white lid and pistonhead skull and crossbones on nose cone.

The BTCC cars will be demonstrated at Johnston Terrace around the edge of Edinburgh Castle on Thursday. Should be a spectacular addition to the fringe festival!

Oh aye, had forgot about that. What time? If it is in the evening I'll walk down from work for a look.

Will have to keep a look out for Caterham no. 57 on Sunday.

The way the weather is going I don't expect Knockhill to be crowded. I only hope it is not a washout.

Hope to see Gordon Shedden win at least one.

I've heard the same. He's got previous form with the Cup cars and knows the circuit.

BTW There should be lots of testing going on most days this week if you can get along there.

You can almost guarantee it will be raining.

Awful place.
