Anyone going to Brands that doesn't have a YRC South Bank pass but wants to park on South Bank (pay on gate) is advised to download this to hang on your rear-view mirror to ensure you get to the right place

you wont be able to blag yourself in without paying the fiver?

 

[DannyC87]

reading the latest release re south bank parking; that pdf you can print out only ensures you get directed to the right place; you still have to pay a fiver when you get over there! the pre-paid ones are green for anyone good on photoshop...

Feel sure he said (pay at the gate)

 

[Timthebrief]

I have several meters of SEAT tape so we'll do what we can to preserve the YRC/SCN spot!

Yep - should clarify that with the download from MSV it's only to make sure you get directed to the right gate - you'll still have to pay £5 on the gate for South Bank parking

Jones 7th fastest in morning practice, only beaten by Vectras and BMWs.
Set a 49.587 lap

Eaves 15th with a 50.770

GOOD NEWS

 

[ZBOYD]

Jonny Adam right up there, would of expected to see Eaves a bit further up the list but it's only free practice so can't read a great deal into it at the moment.

 

[FSiLeonMike]

Still, with all the troubles and rumours surrounding CVR, having a car in the top 10, doing a sub 50 second lap will be a fantastic confidence boost, i'm sure you would agree.

 

[ZBOYD]

I'll wait and see what qualifying heralds before getting too excited about free practice times.

But it's encouraging to see Jonesy inside the top 10 I agree.

 

[markoos]

To everyone going tomorrow-have a great time,and will look out for flags and banners while watching on tv!!

 

[Cupra Kev]

Plato finished 2nd free practice 9th - Jones 11th, Eaves 14th and McMillan 19th - roll on qualifying to get a better representation of how they're actually running

 

[Timthebrief]

JP's back great news to shake things up and boost the media coverage a tad.

So this year the Barmy Army are mostly supporting:-

JP in his reasonably priced car

Adam and Dan in the Carbon Zero Racing SEATS.

Liam McMillan in JP's old Toledo.

and Fulvio Mussi in the Yourracingcar.com Ginetta G50.

We are definitely going to need a lot more flags

See you there one and all.

 

[Cupra Kev]

Fulvio qualified 7th for the Ginettas (race at 15:15) which I'll be watching via TSL Timing

Roll on BTCC qualifying at 15:45

 

[Cupra Kev]

Looks like a good race for Fulvio in the Ginetta - 7th to 4th in the first lap where he stayed the rest of the race, finishing 0.6s behind 3rd place - at one point the gap to 3rd was close to 2secs!

Gap behind to 5th place was just over 5.5secs.

Well done Fulvio

 

[Cupra Kev]

Red flag in qualifying :S

Plato currently 9th, Jones 11th, Eaves 12th

 

[Cupra Kev]

Thinking Turkington may have crashed out in qualifying - session running again and everyone else but him has set at least one more lap He's still in 3rd though

 

[Cupra Kev]

Plato 9th, Jones 10th, Eaves 12th, McMillan 17th

Front row is Neal 1st and Giovanardi 2nd
