The second race meeting of the 2010 British Touring Car Championship sees the series head to the Rockingham track in Northamptonshire:

The opening three rounds at Thruxton saw Fabrizio Giovanardi winning twice for 888, but he has since become a victim of his lack of funding, and despite leading the championship has been replaced by James Nash. Steven Kane won the other race at Thruxton, but it's effectively Jason Plato who leads the way after three solid results in his Chevrolet Cruze:

Code:
1.  Fabrizio Giovanardi   38
2.  Jason Plato           31
3.  Mat Jackson           28
4.  Paul O'Neill          23
5.  Steven Kane           19
6.  Matt Neal             12 
7.  Alex MacDowall        11
8.  Gordon Shedden        11
9.  Philip Glew            9
10. Tom Boardman           6
11. David Pinkney          5
12. Rob Collard            4
13. Tom Onslow-Cole        4
14. Tom Chilton            3
15. John George            2

Is this the weekend where the coverage is interrupted by the IPL?

Yes.

Martin Depper might miss the round due to travel issues:

From another site:
Quote:
Martin Depper has fallen foul of the current volcano debacle in Finland which has seen all flights come to a standstill and leaves Martin and his family stranded in America with no clear indication into a timescale of when the family can arrive back into the country.

Has BTCC ever tried to race the Rockingham Oval? It's one of the most intertesting ones I know.

Post subject:  Re: BTCC @ Rockingham 24th/25th April *Spoilers*

They have never raced on the oval. The nearest they have got to that has been using the oval's turn 4 with an extended run from close to turn 3 plus in the last few years they have been using turn 1.

wtf, why the hell do ITV prefer INDIAN cricket over BRITISCH touring cars? Who watches cricket anyway, and who cares about Indian cricket in the UK?

What weight will James Nash have to carry for this weekend's races?

Author:  Slam [ Wed Apr 21, 2010 8:13 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: BTCC @ Rockingham 24th/25th April *Spoilers*

Must be the base weight surely, with it being his first race of the season.

Think late entries used to be given a penalty weight for their first round didn't they? Someone needs to go look at the regs

So when do we expect to hear the outcome of the Neal v Collard incident from Thruxton?

Author:  Gaara [ Fri Apr 23, 2010 12:59 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: BTCC @ Rockingham 24th/25th April *Spoilers*

What, you mean by way of Collard trying to take out Neal at some point?

Author:  kals [ Fri Apr 23, 2010 2:03 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: BTCC @ Rockingham 24th/25th April *Spoilers*

Yeah, race 1, lap 4, turn 5. Maybe that should be part of the pickems this weekend?
