BTCC race 1 Sunday ITV4 11.00 - 18.00

[Mark34bn]

Just a quick heads up in case anyone forgot. Should be a good season, plus I love the way ITV4 give you seven hours of Motorsport on a Sunday!

If there's another BTCC thread let me know.

[Munter]

The box is set to record. That way I can ff the Porsche and formula Renault races.

[Mark34bn]

IMO a 'box' is essential for these programmes. Without our V+ I'd get serious earache and miss most of the races !

Think there should be an official BTCC race thread like we have for the F1

[jayrallye]

Looking forward to this especially the Ginetta's, should be plenty of action!

F1 then BTCC - Nice!

Hard to understand why Colin Turkington cannot get sponsership.

[yannon]

Or sponsorship

Huge crash from Tom Chilton in the AON Focus. Lots of failures from the Dunlop tyres today.

[FourWheelDrift]

So they have sacrificed driver safety for a green environmentalism issue on tyre chemical compounds.

[CastrolCraig.]

if i was chilton or sheddon id be asking severe safety questions of the dunlop tyres, as has been said, risk safety for the sake of the greens.

[Rufus]

Anybody able to give me a rundown on the first race, I missed it due to being forced into church after the GP.

[hairyben]

I presumed the comedy exploding clown car tyres were a new fia initiative to liven up races?

How does smashing up half a dozen racing cars help the environment? I know the lentilists will enjoy the idea, just not sure how it helps their cause...

[fullbeem]

Guessing Chilton's car wont be able to compete in the next races here at Thruxton today due to too much damage

[Stew2000]

Has anyone got a list of times for the day. I missed that part so got no idea when the rest of the BTCC and Ginettas are on.
