I'm hoping to get to the second Brands round. Thruxton is nearest for me and the others are too far away (Maybe Rockingham but its too early in the season)

Matt Neal is an idiot, blaming Collard for that crash was ridiculous.

Decent season opener, good to see Gio at the top of the standings, hopefully that will continue.

You should come to Rockingham. Be good to meet another forum member.

Croft is too far away from me.


It's pretty far for me, but it's still my local circuit. Damn this living in the middle of nowhere..

On the subject of adverts, C&A-a-a *Gasp* *Gosh* *Smile*

Didn't switch the TV off and Police Camera Action came on afterwards - it's presented from Thruxton during a BTCC test session in 98 or 99 ish. :lol:

Yup, it was only at the start it seems while they were talking about unsafe vehicles with bald tyres and so on. One of the gold and green Peugeot 408 super tourers had a tyre stop in the background.

*slightly jealous*

I can get to Snetterton in an hour if the traffic is light. Rockingham, Silverstone and Brands are around the 2 - 2.30hr mark. The others are just too damn far! Shouldn't complain really. I like this rural existence :p

Thruxton is about 3 hours for me..
Ive got 10mins to Oulton (the back lanes to avoid the great unwashed!)
Silverstone and Rockingham are both between 2 and 2.5hrs
Donington 1.5hrs
Snett - well it takes me about 3 and a half.. but last time i went it only took 2.5.. i wasnt driving and we were rarely below 90mph!
Brands - depends on the M25

all these for me depend on when i travel.. if i have to be there for friday practice and travel down late (after 9pm) on Thursday night or at 5am Friday then its far quicker during normal hours!

Oulton Park is around an hour away from me by taxi. ;)

I guess Silverstone depends on the roadworks and if people use there mobile phones whilst driving!
