Championship still wide open even at this late stage.

Moffat seems to have got to grips with his new Infiniti now (especially in the damp weather) in this morning's Free Practice 1.




Was surprised at the news of Goodyear Tyres for next season though!

I’ve heard it’s pretty much a done deal that BMR are taking over Laser Tools Racing and running two Infiniti’s with Ash Sutton and Aidan Moffat for 2020.
You've heard wrong!

It seems there was a simple reason for Cammish's brake failure, someone may have left a cover in the brake ducts from the wetter conditions early on, apparently.
That makes sense. The commentators were commenting that his front brake discs were glowing red, and they felt that there was something amiss.

If there was any taking over going on I would be pretty sure it would be the other way around...
Yup!

Ship the teams out to the south of Europe and run some races in decent weather in Spain, Italy, Portugal, we'd all still be watching.
And who would pay for all this? Some teams/drivers struggle to find the funds for the ten rounds of BTCC.
