Me too, but I'll be at Silverstone instead :p .

Glew's car. It's the same one Shedden drove last year if you're thinking it looks familiar:

It doesn't look as lurid as it did in Autosport. :(

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Quick pop quiz (because I can't figure out the answer myself). Who was the last driver to drive two different cars (make, not model) in one BTCC season? Also what were the cars?

Ah yes, that sounds right. Thanks Gaara. Flash started the season alongside Pinkney at Dynamics then got replaced by Thommo. He then took over (Eaves was it?) at Clyde in the Seat.

Two notable absentees from the session were Lea Wood and Martin Johnson. Wood’s Central Group Racing team spent the session fixing an engine fault on his Honda Integra. Johnson, meanwhile, is at a family wedding so will miss all of today’s action and faces starting the first of tomorrow’s three races from the rear of the grid in his Boulevard Team Racing Vauxhall Astra.

Clio Cup Race 1 Results:
[spoiler]Image[/spoiler]

Ginetta Junior Race 1 Results: Looked like a very good race on the timing screen, with a lot of position swapping amongst the top 3. Finlay Ratcliffe must have spun off at least 4 times judging by his lap times :lol: .

The Fords have been restricted further:

Well that's not a suprise but a bit of a shame. The strength with the Ford is with the engine but that also brings issues. We've seen many times this year that the Fords are quick but not the strongest package by any means, but still they keep getting penalised. If they were dominating I could understand but there aren't. Back in 1994 Alfa were pegged back because their aerodynamics gave them a massive advantage and in 1996 (plus also during 1997) the Audi's kept getting weight added because the Quattro was much quicker than it's rivals. This is somewhat unfair I feel.
