There does seem to be a distinct lack of old, fat, company directors playing touring cars of late, seem to be quite a few fresh faces on the grid this year. Think Jake Hill might do it this year. He threw away so many points last year, he will have that year experience of challenging for the title under his belt and if he's calmed down a bit should be very strong.If they've got the Ford Focus working a bit better Dan Cam and Sutton should be very strong and surely Cammish got rid of all his bad luck last year.

Hill or Sutton or Ingram, those three have to be the favourites.

Brilliant... it just shows that you don’t need hundreds of horsepower & technology at your fingertips to have an exciting race.
They really need to bring back the Juniors... that was the biggest loss.

It seems that Hybrid hasn’t been well received... by the drivers & fans.
I hadn't really noticed. I get that it is largely a ploy to see if manufactures could be enticed due to the perceived green credentials, but its unnecessary weight / complexity and cost which largely adds nothing to the series.

The irritation I found was that the lights on the cars showing when it was being deployed, were all but impossible to see when the cars were shown on TV.
They did try to show hybrid status on the TV graphics but if my memory serves me right, it was a bit unreliable and difficult to understand. cuprabob said:

Lol only in my dreams,
I meant when I do track days Donnington gp layout is more interesting to drive and should provide more overtaking opportunities ( no I don’t overtake in braking zones on TD’s) as there are two extra Heavy breaking zones where multiple lines could be taken as the track is quite wide, also to note the bump just at the start of the braking zone for Godard’s is vastly reduced with the new tarmac/asphalt that was layed during the off season
(Forgot the assassin mentality of forums was still prevalent)
