Sky 411? Don't you mean Eurosport 2?

Please don't assume that everyone wanting to watch has a Sky dish. Some of us have Virgin Media and completely different channel numbers, so it's easier to be told the channel name than channel numbers.

Did anyone watching on Sky find the frame rate really jerky? I only saw the last couple minutes, but had to turn it off after a bit it was so annoying!

I would be, with a name like Teppic, he could be very bad for your health.

Sadly, sky decided to take away my eurosport HD, and gave me Motors TV instead, so i have missed nearly all of the WSB, thr WTCC and the support races in the BSB

Can somebody explain the qualifying system i know they have changed since last year, but never wacthed the qualifying what is wrong with fastest gets first. Turkington looking quick in the first time in the turbo bmw. Wounder if he will make an apperance in the gsr bmw 2.0 turbo in the btcc.

The reverse order of Q1 gets positions 1-10 in race 2. Usually they are playing games to go a bit slower and get 10th in Q1, but with the weather as it was, they really couldn't afford to do that. It was supposed to stop people deliberately dropping back to 10th to get pole for race 2, but it's only created more tactics from the teams.

[MG CHRIS]

What a waste of time that is you may aswel just pick the names out of a hat. Why cant they use the btcc system that is a much better idea.

Live feeds here, will update it over the day.

The Volvo was trying to hitch a ride around the track!

Are there many spectators there? It looks deserted on eurosports.

Agreed.

I think the hill at Craner Curves looks like there's a few people there. Surprised there isn't more people.

[Allyc85]

Shame there wasnt a better battle for the lead but there was some great action in that race!

New pants for Turkington though after his lap 1 moment!

[Rollcage]

I'm watching this today, and also currently watching the FIA GT1 on Bloomberg, live. The GT1 cars look simply awesome.

He had a little help from Tarquini for that one.

Good racing mainly, the Volvo showed real promise.

If anybody is there watching, keep an eye on my university course car, myerscough college red skoda fabia in the production car championship. Our first event with this car but we have good pace

[freedman]

Muller penalised 3 places on the grid at the next race for his tap on Huff

I was there with a lot of the TVR guys who was racing on the Friday, I think the rain stopped a lot of people going, also was told that BTCC get more spectators.

We was surprised though that several of the TVR's was quicker then the quickest WTCC car.

[ArnageWRC]

Personally, I think it's time the FiA wound up the WTCC - it's a dead duck series with only 1 serious Manufacturer. It should be the best drivers, best tracks, and best cars - however it isn't - and the cars are probably the worst of the lot.
I do wonder whether it should be a silhouette formula, i;e similar type cars to the DTM (which aren't really 'Touring cars')- loud, spectacular fire breathing monsters??

[BRMMA]

I went along yesterday and enjoyed it although there were a lot less spectators than i was expecting

The maserati's sounded amazing
