BTCC- Brands Hatch

[Finbarr saunders]

On now over on ITV 4. Very wet so should make things interesting.

Why did Louise Goodman keep refering to the engine "in the back" of the Focus - too used to F1 terminology me thinks.

[EDLT]

So why are the Focuses so fast in a straight line, do they have more power or have they been allowed more freedom with aerodynamics?

More power from the LPG turbo engine.

Notice the wipers on the Ginetta juniors are too big for the screens.

Someone needs to tell the Cameraman at the end of the Cooper Straight to wipe his lens occasionally.

Nice save there from Shedden!

Race 2 (round 8) has been the best race of the season so far imo? The fight for 2nd was really good!

[ScottishSamurai]

Entertaining race there!

If Plato and his friends have they're way I think the fords might get they're wings clipped for the next round.

Will be interesting to see Plato's dirty tactics in the rain at brands


Neal was very very commited though wasnt he? shame he retired after all that.

Top work by Chilton quite like the Focus LPG Turbo - sounds interesting. Not sure why Plato is so unhappy about them...

Indeed, and he's even more vocal about it off camera! The turbo seems to add a lot more straight line speed than the LPG fuel loses them. Watching Tom Onslow-Cole in race 1 you could see how he was able to pull away on the straight no matter who was alongside him at the start of it.

I went to watch but it was so cold and wet I wussed out to watch race 2 and 3 from the comfort of my sofa. Race 2 was fantastic and race 3 should be interesting too with Neal and Plato heading up from the back.

Chilton has been stripped of his win - Underweight car.

[FourWheelDrift]

Chilton has been DQ'd from race 2 due to being underweight in scrutineering.

As above

I suspect race 3 might resemble a scrap yard

[jamiebae]

So Tom Chilton and his dragster powered Focus will start race 3 from the back of the grid, this could be interesting
