Ah, a nice day of Touring Cars to take my mind off of 2 A-Level exams next week.

Is anyone going to this? Thinking about making a trip down South.

Time for the annual destruction derby.

And maybe ITV won't fap so much over the Borsches now Tim's left. We can only hope.

Donington wasn't enough for you then?

I actually think Harvey showed a bit of class with that move, realising he's slow so not going to keep a seat just for the sake of being in the series.

This way he gets to focus on commentating without having to run around getting ready for racing and also give a new talent a run who otherwise wouldn't be able to, nice one Tim IMO.

And on to Oulton, which always makes me wince any time a car is on the grass due to all of the bouncy bumping type of crashes we've seen here over the years.

Usually provides great racing though, and BTCC threads are amongst the most fun we have on this forum so it should be another good one, have to rush back across city from my gfs in the morning so I prob will miss race 1 but I hope to be here with more bad puns based on driver names at some point

I'm sorry.

I bet you're wishing Plato will do the same

I shudder everytime BTCC comes to Oulton Park now. I love the BTCC, I love Oulton Park, but it seems in every BTCC race here the standard racing line down to the hairpin is hugging the inside of the circuit. Why can't they be men and use the standard racing line? Stop being pussies and over-defending. Try racing?! Grrr.... anyway, rant over, until Sunday.

De Cesaris fan · PostPosted: Fri Jun 03, 2011 3:43 pm

Would you leave any kind of inside gap if Matt Neal was behind you?

Gaara · PostPosted: Fri Jun 03, 2011 3:44 pm

Would you defend like that with Plato behind you?

phil1993 · PostPosted: Fri Jun 03, 2011 3:44 pm

They should go all the way to the banked hairpin.
