Not sure I've ever tuned into ITV3 out of choice before.

Hopefully the ads are slightly less deathbed tabloid-reader spec
 
An interesting BTCC qualifying session at Brands Indy, sees Dan Rowbottom take his maiden pole position, in a Team Dynamics 1-2 with Shedden 2nd (by 0.005s). Elsewhere, Turkungton had a disappointing session to finish 14th, which sees 28 cars covered by <1s.

Weather looks pretty terrible at Brands! Not so sad I didn't go now! :D Not sure how this will play out for the RWD guys.
 
The BTCC is back at Oulton this weekend, after its summer break, so a little recap on some news since then.

Interestingly, it looks like EXCELR8 are weighing up a possible Hyundai engine program for 2022.


Also, the vacant Cupra ride at Team HARD has been filled.

TCR’s The Bend double set to shake up series standings

Lee Holdsworth The Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series’ double round at The Bend could shake up the standings, according to
www.speedcafe.com www.speedcafe.com

Finally ARG have come to their senses. The Bend has been operating almost non-stop throughout the whole pandemic, bar the NSW furniture removalist incident (they had to stop at Tailem Bend didn't they :irked:). Bad luck they're not bringing S5000... but TCR is a start. It was great to watch last time I went there so I'll be going as long as no unforeseen circumstances pop up. We've been a bit starved for motorsport down here in SA.
 
A fascinating qualifying session at Thruxton has set up the grid nicely for race 1 tomorrow, as Rowbottom takes his second pole of the season. Mixed feelings for Shedden though, as he seemed to have on off/issue on his last fast lap to line up 14th, after potentially being on for a front row start, based on pace.

 
@andrea I take it that was for the Belgian GP thread, right?

No rain to stop play at Thruxton today, as Josh Cook and Ash Sutton share top honours in the first two races. Seven wins for Cook around this circuit, and an equally impressive run to 2nd behind Sutton with 75kg on board.

Feel bad for Team Dynamics and Tom Ingram after the various issues they've had in Race 2. Tingram was in a cracking battle with Rory Butcher and Colin Turkington for 5th until he dropped to 12th with a late puncture.
