I should see races 1 & 2 before Northampton Saints Heineken Cup game kicks off. Race 3 clashes with IRL, so will have to tape that one.

Should be a good weekend.

I love Thruxton. I think some of the support races should be a lot better here as well. The Ginetta cars should be able to slipstream around half of the lap, and even the Renaults can get a little crazy.

Remember?

Honda - quite rightly in my view - critical of their reduced limit

Where's the penalty to Chevy for winning the first 2 races?

Nic Hamilton rolled his Clio at Goodwood turn this morning. Taken to the medical centre for checks, car wrecked.

A little bit of hypocrisy from Neal, who was one of the most vocal against the Ford's advantage last year. 0.1 bar reduction isn't going to make much difference.

Least it wasn't Church.

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.

He really did wreck it, hope he's not done for the weekend.

I hope Nic is ok, any news on him or what happened?

EDIT - this just in from Autosport - http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/90996

Autosport think he's done for the weekend, I'd agree looking at that car. Unless the series has a spare car available, like Ginettas do?

I like how Autosport put on the headline: Hamilton's brother SURVIVES big crash.

The kid has cerebral plasy, but that doesn't mean his brain is exposed.

Glad he's ok, but this is another pretty good example of why it's best to learn the basics of racecar control at club level.

Yeah, they make one think as if he was halfway there on his own due to his condition.

But good that he's ok in the end

*sigh*, always flipping when the cameras aren't working...


Autosport story seems to have both Clio races on the Saturday?

I hope that's incorrect!

There is one on Sunday
