BTCC

[Scott328i]

Heads up, BTCC on ITV4 now.

[Civpilot]

Yup, until the end of the day too as they are (apparently) including all the support races!!! superb.

Matt Neal has done less than a dozen laps of 2009, and already shown his usual banger racing approach to overtaking. No need for race craft, and sportsmanship when you can just dive down the inside, use the leaders door as a brake, and push them wide onto the slipery part of the circuit.

Good TV? Bad racing?

Plato in a Reasonably Priced Car this year?!? I knew Seat didn't have a works team but didn't know he was still in BTCC.

[James_N]

Well whatever, its much more exciting than the F1!

Having just watched the first race, I can't agree with you. The usual bumping and boring, safety car melee...........

[oobster]

I don't think i'd ever get tired of punching Matt Neal in the face.

I'd love to see him overtake someone with out contact.

Ginetta and Clio races this afternoon as well as BTCC. Nice!

[Simond001]

but contact is what makes BTCC so good

[DJC]

Why did nobody in the F1 thread when talking about the BTCC being on...say it was the whole day from Brands with all the races?

Sod BTCC, the Ginetta boys are superb!

[RJB_666]

Ginetta's look easy to dismantle. They should stick the juniors in these, not the 1.4l zetec G20's. That would be entertaining.

[DJC]

I think the G50s look fantastic...essentially they appear Tuscan racer coupes to me...always a good design idea!

Are they running the Zytek V8s ?

[ajprice]

Just come back from dinner, they said at the start the Ginettas run a V6, dint know what though. Mondeo V6?

[ajprice]

Ginetta Juniors now, 14-17 year olds driving 1.4 fiesta engine cars. Interesting

Don't think that's ever happened has it?

[freedman]

So Freke was penalised 2 seconds for atiny oush in the G50 race, losing the win in the process

Breeze who took the front of Frekes car off by moving over on him unpunished, as was Neal for punting his way to the lead in the touring cars

[White-Noise]

Sitting down to catch the second race on justin.tv now.

Man I want to get down to Brands soon!

What's happening with Onslow Cole this year? Just missed the interview
