Seems a bit late to work on them now?
 
Not exactly unheard of considering 888 last year ;)
 
Just heard that Colin Turkington is suffering from Bell's Palsy disease. Something that the late Ayrton Senna had in the early '85. Hopefully it doesn't affect his weekend though...
 
Yeah, he's said its not too bad, just his face looks a bit funny. It shouldn't affect his driving. 👍

Did Plato have trouble with his car ? He has done very few lap in FP2.
 
Not sure, but Will Bratt's car broke down early in the session causing the only red flag.
 
Big crash. Turkington, Goff, Griffin I think. Red flag.
 
omg what stupidity <.< Not even one lap in and first crash
 
Cold tyres = spin city.
 
That was just plain stupidity :lol:. Yellow Flags for a reason.

Turkington was on outside of a blind hairpin...
 
Was it already like that last year that you can't warm up your tyres artificialy in btcc ?

I mean before you're going on track. I'm not sure if it's clear what I'm trying to ask XD

Yellow flag was only out at the exit of the corner, should of been out mid-corner, so blind corner, stupidly late flags and cold tyres, it was much higher risk for crash.👎

Wondering if WSR can fix Colin's car, looked pretty bad.

Yes I think it's been case for some time. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I haven't seen tyre warmers for years.
 
Ok thanks, any major change in btcc this year in ruling ? Like I know the way the grid is handeled changed in wtcc but what about btcc, everything the same as last year ?

Only major change is a softer tyre compound that must be used in one race.

EDIT Neal off!!!
 
Changing places all time!
 
Jordan essentially has this now.
