BTCC

[Mr_Ben]

First opening rounds start tomoro. Can't wait pity I can't go but all coverage is on ITV4 \o/

Gonna be watching the Clios just as much as the main event, let's see how Nick Hamilton does.....

 

[Karl]

What time ?

 

[Mr_Ben]

Starts at 11 goes thru till 6

 

[Daveyb133]

im working, thank goodness for sky +

i cant wait for it to start though

 

[Karl]

Im working so cant watch it roll on 1230

 

[Mr_Ben]

So.... Predictions for the season?

Plato to repeat the Champ. Neal to try it on?

 

[TURBO]

i cant wait for this :mrgreen: brand two weekends running! :mrgreen:
im not sure if im looking forward to the btcc or the clio's more....
lets hope both have a good season

 

[TURBO]

so what did everyone think of the racing today???

gutted for the guy in the ginetta that got smashed up pretty bad, not a good start to his season

i wasnt sure about hamilton before the racing as i thought he only got his seat due to his name but fair play to him he looked pretty good considering his time in the car/on track, have to see how he gets on..

 

[Mr_Ben]

Yeah that Ginetta crash was quite vicious :shock:

As Tim Harvey said we'll have to wait a few races to properly see the diff between the FI and NA cars. But the Hondas are blisteringly quick, but Plato did well.

As for Hamilton.... Didn't see the first race as I was watching the MotoGP, the second race you didn't see what he could do because of him being punted off, but he was lapping only a few 10ths off the front runners pace (lap times wise). But how that translates into proper race pace we'll see.

Donington here we come.

 

[TURBO]

il b watching the moto gp later

yea the honda's looked damm fast, also thought the fords looked very quick but seemed to be struggling with the power more than the honda's.

looks like it could b a good season :mrgreen:

 

[Anonymous]

enjoyed the races. and seeing the battle and tactics that the n/a version turbos will bring up. that civic must be chewing up tyres

 

[madmatt]

Do the Hondas still run VTEC in their Race Engines?
I might endeavour to go up to Knockhill once the BTCC gets here.

[Mr_Ben]

Haven't done for years, part of the regs.

 

[Steve-o]

F/I cars were considerably quicker on the straight but looked like they were wearing tyres much faster. Will be a good watch this season. RSUK is on the same say as Donnington I get free tickets to BTCC 'cuz my mother in law is pretty senior at Dunlop

 

[TURBO]

did anyone watch btcc???

for some reason my box hasnt recorded it

so iv jst tried to watch it on catch up but itv is rubbish and it seems u can only "catch up" on certain programmes :evil:

 

[Mr_Ben]

Nope at Gaydon, will watch the 'repeat' later or fire it up on the tinterweb.

Tho I do know all three race results.

 

[Leanne]

Poor Jordan couldn't start!!
Wish I was at brands today!!

 

[DrDrew]

1st April this year, and apparently MG will be joining the frey

According to the article Jason Plato and Andy Neate are their drivers

 

[Mr_Ben]

Nope it's true, 3 year deal.
