Looking better for Seat. The ballast must finally be having an effect on the leaders

 

[Pabs]

looking good then!
What time does it start on motors tv tomorrow?

 

[ZBOYD]

Sorry been out most of the afternon and evening, getting my car ready for VWNW, hnce why ive not updated the webby, but great result.

Had a quick txt banter with Scott Dennis, i wished them luck, but he summed it up really. We don't need good luck, we just don't want any more bad luck

Hope the day goes SEAT's way anyway

 

[spyke85]

Anybody have an in car tv with sky so we can keep up to date at VWNW?

 

[ZBOYD]

Racing starts tomorrow at 9am, Motors TV live coverage from then, BTCC race 1 at about 10am.

 

[ZBOYD]

Anybody have an in car tv with sky so we can keep up to date at VWNW?

Not unless they have a satalite on their roof

I have thought ahead though, though we won't be able to see the first 2 races live on Motors, race 1 and 2 are delayed highlights on ITV1 from 2pm, followed by Race 3 LIVE.

I have a Freeview receiver USB dongle for my MacBook, so if we can get a good signal, we can all watch it

 

[spyke85]

Now that is a man that thinks of everything! Top job Z!!!

 

[Pabs]

well first race results are really good! Hats off to Gavin Smith tho, for keeping his car going for the last 2 laps!

 

[Leon]

Yep amazing first race, some good car control from Giovanardi and Smith. Thanks to Fiona Leggate for helping Thommo out!

 

[F2 Stu]

The farmer withe the maize field is going to be narked off

 

[Pabs]

lol - the cars just disappeared in there!

Can't really blame Fiona I don't think - was a very hard place to try to overtake and she did try to get out the way - just glad that it worked out ok for us

 

[Leon]

I think Erkut Kizilirmark ended up in there too - saw two Vauxhalls being dragged out at the end.

Damn Matt Neal has too much luck, after all that happened he still get's 6th!

 

[Pabs]

AWESOME last lap of round 20! Matt Neal will NOT be happy, but well done plato and thompson AGAIN!!!!

 

[DIFT]

Seat 1-2... What a final lap!

Some stong words between Neal and Plato me thinks
