Yeah he was definitely at the BTCC! He only does Sundays though so maybe he was at TCR on Saturday, I can’t remember.

Personally I do like him and think he’s good, brings some enthusiasm, but completely agree on the constant squeals and gasps!

And yet, Paul is an accomplished racing driver (and has been for many years), and (presumably) you're not?

I quite like his commentary style. Yes, he's quite excitable, but he knows his stuff, knows the people he's commenting on, and I think the contrasting styles of him and RJN compliment each other very well when they're paired up.

Anyone know the tyre situation for this round? If I remember correctly, Silverstone was meant to be a free choice in tyre's from whatever the drivers have carried over. Seeing as only a couple of drivers got onto a slick for tiny portion of a race, and for everyone else, they were on wets all day.

Has the carried over/free choice tyre rule been knocked on the head or are they allowed to use carried over tyres into the Brands round? That could alter the complection of the championship if they are allowed free choice.
