There are also now pressure plates installed under the ground at the exit of Druids and Graham Hill, which will send a photo and a timestamp to race control whenever a car runs over them.


But isn't there little advantage from running wide at Druids and Graham Hill? Especially Druids as cars normally only end up out there if they've been pushed out there. I don't understand why you'd penalise those cars.

There's a huge advantage that can be gained at Paddock and Bottom Bend, Druids too if you get it right, but it's probably more to do with the good Doctors anal obsession with having a presentable nice looking grass than anything else.

The guy makes Tom Wheatcroft look like a pussy.

Obviously they're not going to penalise everyone who runs wide, just those who do so of their own accord.

He loves pretty grass and hates fun, is essentially the issue.

We've already had our first 'must attend every round' offender. Dan Welch will not be racing this weekend.

25 cars within a second. That is incredible.

Lawrence Tomlinson has just mentioned a possibility of 26 Ginetta Juniors on the grid by the end of the year. :8:

First race result of the year:

26 juniors by the end of the season? That'll be amazing/catastrophic. You decide!

How the hell do you watch qualifying? I'm chasing links round in circles on random ITV pages/players.

There isn't a video there for me. I suspect it's using some bastardised version of Silverlight and isn't bothering to prompt that it's using a plugin you don't have.

Well, the real issue is that the website isn't bothering prompting the user that it is using a plugin you don't have. Therefore it's impossible to know what to download. This is an issue the internet collectively solved many many years ago, which ITV have reintroduced.
