BTCC 2010

thats like being able to go on a hot date with any woman in the world, so you choose Hillary Clinton

So am I the only one who likes the idea of a Toyota Avensis

I'm glad it's a saloon and not a hatchback.

McDowell Heads Chevrolet 1-2 for Snetterton.....

Is it just me, or did Matt Neal menion ''4 wheel steering''?

Surely he is talking about using the rear diff... Or does it actually have fully functional 4 wheel steering?

Why would a FWD car have a rear diff??

Must be 4WS i know Honda has the Tech but i didnt think they put it in the Civic.......

I thought 4WS was illeagal... oh well there you go lol.

The Fords were looking pretty epic out there (on the straights atleast)

If that thing went round corners properly it would be lethal!!

Honda have been capable of 4-wheel steering since the late 80s.

There is also an advert/commercial in an old British Grand Prix programme from 1989, covering two pages and the first page is the Honda car, possibly said Prelude, ahead of Ayrton Senna's McLaren-Honda at Monaco.

Theres going to be a Ford 1-2 in race 2, can see it happening and nobody will be impressed outside of the Arena garage.

Adrian Newey will be racing in the Ginetta G50 races today.

I knew they COULD, didnt think it would be legal in Touringcars though.....

Not sure on a 1-2 as Jackson looks strong, Chilton will be heavy now too.

Im gonna say.... 1st Onslo Cole, 2nd Jackson, 3rd Chilton for Race 2.

Anyone else think Ferrari or Mclaren payed someone to take out Newey then

doesnt look good as he wasnt out of the car.

he's not exactly the youngest of guys either. hopefully he's ok...

Phil Glew to return at Silverstone in NGTC Powered SEAT Leon....

Yup, saw that a few days ago. He's a cracking driver, glad he's got something worked out for the last few races, hopefully he can get the budget for a full season for next year

Team AON take front row and are imediately Slapped with a smaller Turbo Restrictor......

Sat at Luffield and just watched Pinkney conk out 3 times!!!

Also, watching the big tv, a lot of the action is missed...

Collard is not a very nice man :@ :@

Wan...@*&%$%* !!!!

Matt Neal punted O'Neill out on the last corner. A little dirty.
Collard was great. Very aggressive, but fair in my book.
Looking forward to watching race 3.
The Ford's look great.

Very well said Onslow-Cole, Collards a dirty racer.

I hate the way that Collard, Neal and Jackson just do the continual hitting of other drivers. Its the constant pushing and shoving others out the way that is annoying. You don't see the Toms, Paul O'Neil, Flash or the other good drivers hitting anyone or punting them out the way in braking zones. They have fair clean races but still provide some very entertaining ones.

What makes it even worse is when Harvey says that any move the 3 of them make are fair moves. Sorry but hitting people out the way under braking and punting them off isn't fair and the commentators shouldn't be encouraging it.

Makes great TV, but I probably wouldn't like anyone passing me like that, although Aero has a go most races!

I totally agree. Ive only just stopped swearing at my TV after that lunge into the door on Onslow-Cole.

Collard is showing up his Stock car background, its ok there but this isnt stock cars, the budgets are bigger the speeds are higher and the cars are softer. Stuff like that just isnt on, especially when your going to cry like a baby whn ever anyone "gives some" back.

(And of course Harvey defends it, he won his only BTCC Title because someone else did a move like that.... if he ever denounced that behavior he knows that would be thrown back in his face....)

No wonder most Europeans think the BTCC is a joke.. That was horrible.

Bloody Hell Matt Jackson that was such an over the top Smack into Chilton...

WTF..... Words need to be had i think, that and the opening lap were carnage!

Sat in the stand and it was just mayhem out there.

On a side note, the doctor's car drifting round Luffield and racing the safety car from pits to the grid was just awesome
