The MG being fast at BHI is becoming a trend now. Made it's debut and got 2 podiums and a 4th in 2012. 2013 it gets 2 wins and a 5th and it's currently fastest in this session now.

Also now I've seen the livery alongside the Pirtek car it doesn't look too bad now.

The MG livery is beautiful. They have the design nailed on it.

EDIT - Holy hell. 13 cars for Clios. Appalling.

Jeez, 13 too for Carrera Cup. You know it's bad when Juniors have the biggest grid...

Clios are a new car this year aren't they? Isn't that same for Carrera's? If so they will have smaller grids as less cars around.
 
The problem is the Clios were the ones upholding the image for the support series as the others grids were faltering. Now we just have a lot of weak grids. I understand they had to update the cars, but way to put people off...
 
Just noticed that the MG livery is different to media day (Image from BTCC twitter)

It's better than it was before 👍 (still not great though)
 
Dan Welch almost all set:

Thought he wasn't racing this weekend? :odd:

EDIT - Yar, that's Ollie's car
 
Am I right in thinking the MG6 isn't even sold in Britain anymore? :lol:

What you mean like they holded up the image at knockhill last year? and at croft and knockhill the 2012?
 
In terms of grid size, the Clios had always been the strongest. Now we have another weak grid. BTCC deserves some bigger grids for the support series when the main championship is booming like it is...

Nope, pretty sure it is. And a BTCC edition to boot as well.

Correct, they're even trying to forcefully sell us them right now (taken like 30 seconds ago):

I think BTCC and BSB should race the same weekends. Apart from tracks they don't share of course. Cadwell and Assen for BSB mainly.

Nope, I don't think that'd work. British GT or GT Cup on Saturdays maybe...? Get BRDC F4 on the bill instead of FFord?

GT Cup is a bit of a flop, British GT is too big as a series, but F4 would fit the bill perfectly.

GT Cup actually did very well for itself last year, 20+ cars every round except for one, I believe. British GT, I see your point.
 
GT Cup just isn't professional enough. It's mix and match club racing.

British GT, I see your point.

It'd be a bit like having WEC on the Saturday of an F1 weekend... wouldn't go down well.

In P2, everybody's got track limits warnings.

And your point caller?

All the BTCC support series get you on the professional ladder somehow, or are designed to. It's filled by one make championships from big manufacturers. GT Cup is the polar opposite.

Is ITVPlayer streaming of quali not started yet?
 
Personally, I'd like something other than one make in the ToCA package.

I can't find the live quali link, can anyone help me out?
