BTCC Media Day

[m0rk]

Tomorrow at Rockingham is where it will be

Couple or 4 team unveilings, photoshoots etc

Then a Test Session starts at 13.00 which is open to the public

Is anyone heading out there?

 

[jonv]

Yes, should be on the pit roof wandering up and down with the camera.

many pics

most of which are pretty good (thanks to my new lens)

Need to sort them though!

 

[tris]

Look forward to seing them
Will they be on the gallery

nice to see the Vauxhall looking really ugly, but in terms of livery (red and green never goes together like that!) and the bodykit (WTF with that bumper).

Civic looks good from pics, although I note, they've lost quite a few sponsors like Bosch and Castrol. The ASC and Blue Motorbase Toledos looks a bit lame

....and the bodykit (WTF with that bumper).

Could be scientifically designed to attack the rear wheels of the Seats in traffic, all under the disguise of aero. Never get past the Euro N-cap test with that

Yup, once I've sorted them I'll upload the pics - just using a few for press releases at the moment.

Rumours I heard off the record about the vectra (supposedly from one of the drivers....) "the vectra is slow in the corners, and slow on the straights"

888 not covering their engine too well here

I think they gave up covering it in the end! JP wandered over around 4pm and was having a good look at the engine bay.

The Vectra still topped the times:

Yeah but GIOVANARDI has done more then double what the SEAT boys have done put together
Hope they dont have problems already

 

[IainW]

I wouldn't worry. The Vectra needs miles, the Leon doesn't. Heard an interview with Darren Turner who was saying that the main thing they're doing is just working on getting the setups right for UK circuits. Now they've got a year of UK setups on the Leon, it won't require as much work. Seemed to be on the pace at most circuits last year.
