Post subject:  BTCC- HONDA Racing Q&A

On monday i am spending the day with the Honda BTCC racing team after the weekends racing at Oulton Park.

it will include track sessions in the twin seaters (aparently one of last years cars with a passenger seat!).. we will also be doing an Auto test and off road stuff....

During the dinner break we will be doing a Q&A with the drivers...

so anyone got any questions they want to ask Matt Neal and Flash Gordon?

i will select 5 or 6 and see if i can get them answered!

cheers

Does the BTCC need a signature race like say the Bathurst 500 etc?

What other motorsport series do the guys watch if any?

If you could drive one other car from the history of the BTCC, what would it be?

Apart from the first win in 1999, what other achievement would you rank as great as that and why?

If you could go back to any point in the 20 years you've run a BTCC team and change something you did, what would it be and why?

If Matt decided to retire from racing and you were able to pick any driver to replace him, established or up and coming, who would you choose and why?

Does the BTCC needs a street race like the Birmingham Superprix to provide a good variety of racing circuits for the series?

What's their view on possible races abroad (no, not Knockhill) at places like Zandvoort or Zolder?

Yes, this!

Could tie in with my "Blue Riband event" type question, a feature race on the streets of Birmingham, no-one could be against that! :thumbsup:

Yeah well, leaving the track open for boy racers at night might improve the safety record of the city centre, they'd only have themselves to run into instead of innocent commuters!

Ask Matt if he remembers being stood next to me at the urinals behind the pits at Croft in '08. And remind him it's hygienic to wash his hands afterwards.

Are the drivers going to give iRacing a go now that the NGT Civic is being made for it? :p

Based on today's performance:

How dominant would these speedy Hondas be if Gow didn't keep messing with the rules to keep Plato in the championship? :lol:

well that was all a bit odd.. was informed that they were not allowed to answer questions apart from ones about Honda!

as part of the day i did get 5 laps with Matt in the demo/race car which was fun.. that came after crashing a quad bike into a tree .. another trip to A&E and ive only just recovered from the last broken arm!
