Gearing up for The Rock

No, not Dwayne Johnson, Rockingham!

It's the only banked circuit on the BTCC calender and it always causes a it of chaos.

For a bit of geek satisfaction watch Hunter Abbott at turn one, he takes a different line to most of the other drivers having completed two seasons of Oval racing in the past and he uses it to his advantage to be in a position no one else expects.





It's looking to be a soggy Qualifying too which always stirs things up, will Alex Martin go drifting in the rain again like he did at Croft? Did you see that? Everyone else put their wets on when it bucketed down at the end of the day but Alex stayed with slicks, he may not have been fast but he proved he has skills and would not have been out of place at a Jap Fest. It was highly entertaining track side.


In more serious news, do you remember my post about Knockhill (assuming you read it) where I said how strange Jason Plato's complaints were and how upset Alan Gow was about them?
Well, Team BMR have now issued a formal statement saying how while they appreciate their drivers frustrations they fully support TOCA and look forward to a successful climax to the season.
(statement in full) That should insulate them from the wroth of Mr Gow but does leave Jason out in the cold. I wonder if he will dare make any complaints at this round?

I'm sure there will be much excited to be had this weekend, I'm off to get everything ready for morning now. Must pack waterproofs!


Does anyone want to guess how many red flags we will get this weekend? And who will be issued with penalties? (It would be nice to see 0 & 0 but I very much doubt that will happen)
