but does this mean its new hats and coats this year to?

Dunno. The green rather dominates to the point you feel it has to be included.

You would have thought that if the new livery had been in the pipeline long before it came out that SEAT could have possibly included the new colour in the teamwear range. So my guess is that the sponsorship deal must have come very recently indeed and long after the business with releasing a new range of teamwear for the coming season.

Mind you atleast we can have a laugh at VXR fans. I reckon they are in an even worse position. They have to exclude a colour from the teamwear. I have looked in their shop and by far the most dominant colour in their clothing; black, appears absolutely nowhere in the livery of the Vectras apart from the skirting right at the bottom.

are you sure you don't mean a media 'bollard' ?!?

Scott Dennis' face was a picture when you said that !!!

new cars do look smart, just a shame I only saw Turner do 2 laps yesterday before they packed up for the day......

I don't think they have ever included their sponsors into their team wear really. Other than on the drivers race suits. Only exception i think was on the Holiday Inn SCC hats a few years back. I've never noticed sponsors on any team wear in the past.

I've got a 400D and a 70-300mm lens. I find panning awkward at 200mm and impossible at anything higher. It was worse yesterday because I was constantly shivering. I finally called it a day when my hands went numb.

i quite like it.the bonnet vernt could do with being black to break it up a bit.
lets just hope we get sick of the sight of it coming over the line first and second

That's true... I was lucky that I was able to wedge myself between the armco in places.

But for the panning shot above it was not on 200mm, I was far closer

Just had a thought - has the TDi car ever had any wet running in the WTCC? I'm wondering how it will cope with the torque on a wet track, as this weekend's looking increasingly like being a moist one.

I don't think so... shouldn't be too bad though, nice grippy wets & softer ARB settingsq

Will help with the tyre wear if its wet

I am willing to bet we will have very few of these "moist" days this year.

Croft is NEVER wet. The last time it rained was the first time I went which was in 2001. It was dark for the Sprint Race but for the Feature Race it was drizzly. But it was warm with it.
