Hawken...

Better shout. Money.

 

[Bo]

O'Neill said he isn't looking to do any driving.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Just received an text from a mate with a screen shot of an email asking if he wanted the drive

 

[Furinkazen]

Motorbase 100% at Snetterton.

Handy Motorsport driver reveal in 15 minutes. Betting on Hawken.

 

[Bo]

Holland.

Oh.

 

[raceorama123432]

Would have preferred it to be Hawken....

 

[Furinkazen]

No arguments here. Good choice.

 

[neljack]

Like for like replacement then, Belcher, not very good, for Holland, also not very good

 

[Urinal2001]

Well.... i didnt see that coming. Slightly underwhelming, but it will be nice to see him back for a few rounds.

 

[Furinkazen]

Much better than Belcher... Did good job developing the Audi.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Yeah I quite like Rob Holland...be interesting to compare his pace in the car, I don't think the Audi was a great car.

 

[Furinkazen]

So todays snetterton test had Mat Jackson P1...

 

[paulmac2k9]

Which I told you about . Though Jordan showed pace all day which I'm happy with!

 

[paulmac2k9]

Double post but this shows how the cars faired on the speed traps...

The Ford is consistantly blasting the other cars away as per. The BMW 3-6 mph slower conistantly too.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Sophia Floersch has had to give up her Ginetta drive, hopefully somebody can find the funds to get her back behind the wheel of something somewhere soon.

 

[Bo]

She's working with Red Bull for German F4, a drive opened up.

Will Tregurtha also revealed she has quite a lot of license points and was close to losing it.

 

[Furinkazen]

So i've read info that Motorbase (or specifically Jackson) will carry left over 2014 success ballast in Race #1 at Snetterton. Is that true or rubbish @Holdenhsvgtsr ?

No idea I've only been following motorbase's GT line up this year.

 

[Furinkazen]

Wilmot leaves Welch.

 

[Roo]

Possibly the most pointless post I'll make all year: BTCC announces 2016 calendar. The only difference is everything from Croft onwards is about a fortnight earlier than this year.

2016 BTCC CALENDAR

April 2-3: Brands Hatch (Indy)
April 16-17: Donington Park
May 7-8: Thruxton
June 4-5: Oulton Park (Island)
June 18-19: Croft
July 30-31: Snetterton
August 13-14: Knockhill
August 27-28: Rockingham
September 17-18: Silverstone
October 1-2: Brands Hatch (Grand Prix)

 

[Urinal2001]

Even more clashes with various music events i try to attend than this year. Going to be some hard choices again.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Wilmot leaves Welch.

Oh no.. what a terrible loss for the BTCC







Hopefully some fresh talent, or perhaps more money can help bring Welch along.

Eeeexcellent...

Erm......welch is the problem?

 

[Furinkazen]

Erm......welch is the problem?

I point finger more at Wilmot using the rubbish welch engine whilst dan had a toca unit at Croft? Engines the issue.

pretty sure if was the other way round.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Either way I can't see Wilmot bringing much in the way of ability or talent to the team, I don't know about the financial side - but the opportunity of someone else is a good thing as far as I see it.

 

[Furinkazen]

And now Welch out of Snetterton.

 

[Bo]

There was rumour of them pulling out of the rest of the season. I hope not at least, it's not great to see the grid numbers dropping.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Well actually with Motorbase returning they equalise Welch and Wilmot leaving.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

And now Welch out of Snetterton.

He was in it?
