CBJSprague24 posted:Yeah, unfortunately I don't have time to sit through all three races full-length, which is why I was looking for the one-hour condensed shows from ITV. I've found 10 minute videos which will have to do. Good news, CBS will be showing 1 hour highlights packages 10 days after the rounds this year.

gret posted:The BTCC season is saved! Team BMR have signed not just Colin Tarkington but also Jason Plato to race VW CCs next season. I'm not sure the Passats are quite there yet but that's one hell of a driver line up. Aron Smith's about to find out how good he actually is. Brave of Plato too actually, he's not had a really top line teammate since a rookie Robb Huff a decade ago and before that probably Muller and Thompson in 2001.

The Tesco thing is massively overstated, they still make billions and right now is when they need PR. The 2 car MG thing probably barely cost them a million. Whether they're sticking with Plato I don't know but the point is they certainly won't be sticking with 888.

Known him for worryingly close to 2 decades on other forums and lost many, many times to him at every sim you care to name back then. That's quite a challenge he's got there.

If you think it counts as a "Prototype". I'd debate P2 does even. It's all rules driven of course. Who'd have taken a bet 10 years ago the DPs would be the prettiest things calling themselves prototypes?

^^ What in the actual gently caress?Butt Wizard posted:Probably not a lot of point in posting about the Mostert stuff then. We all know what sort of year this is going to be. I can't quite decide on that one tbh, although I did enjoy Rick Kelly confirming he's coasting for a pay day these days by basically saying you should never go for a move on the last lap.

Yeah that really confused me. If an official was there and timing and didn't stop them how the gently caress are the team supposed to know that didn't count. The correct response there would be to allow it and remind the team and that official of the rule later.

They're not rallies anymore. It's less than an F1 race distance over short stages in tiny cars and the one time someone proposes a decent length stage TV bitches.

You Am I posted:I wonder if Lowndes will stay on as a Holden driver in the second ranked T8 team which SVG is currently driving for, or whether he'll go to another manufacturer. I think it is too early for him to retire T8 are going to run three. He's re-signed to be in one of them. They're going to win literally everything aren't they. Hopefully some of the time it'll be SVG.

I do like the idea of having proper rallies but starting with shorter, spectator friendly stuff Friday evening/Saturday morning. It'd be the best of both worlds really.

Well exactly. It doesn't even really need to be 2 up though, just stages short enough people can watch. Something that goes through a stadium and is run twice maybe. Or something set out round something like Silverstone. But it leaves you free to do the bat poo poo 35 mile runs through the woods later.

Pretty damning isn't it. Sheds some light on that back to back test they did. Also how much loving money does ESM have if they can just suddenly go "Welp, let's purchase 2 entire new cars just to run for a couple of months".

Korwen posted:He was in the series last year as well, but he was a bit of a back marker in an Audi I believe. The move to the MG team has given him a lot more prominence in the series, a trend I hope continues because I too laugh every time Jack Goff gets around someone in a corner. Yeah, Goff joined with Team BMR but was stuck with one of their old Vauxhalls for 2013 and the first half of last year before they gave him one of the CCs.
