[BTCC] Round 5 - Croft, 1st June 2008
Hi,
We're at Croft for round 5 - as Onslow-Cole makes a play for the title. We're still short on Allison, though he may be back from the next race. It's not certain if his seat will be filled. Else we're all there (I assume everyone's stopped waiting on Team 48? ) Don't forget the predictions competition |

Yea, it's definitely round 5 - quite early in the year to be reaching the halfway point of the championship.
TOC is talking about himself as a championship contender; a strong performance here and it might be worth taking him seriously. |

Allison said he has budget for Snetterton (home race). Weather for this weekend is looking cloudy and windy but no rain forecast (yet....)

i think the SEAT's are gonna struggle with the twisty tight bits especially the hairpin as they have a smaller turning circle than any other car

An Inevitable read really regarding team 48's non appearance, seems to suggest the deal with A-Tech is the hold up or manybe the actual cash to buy the cars. Reading between the lines they appear to suggest they may buy another brand which makes me think of the Lexus's which would be cheaper than the Alfas.

2nd one was for Erkut in the wall, according to TSL.
Edit - what is it with Seat ride height this year? Turner's car has just failed the check. Last edited by gregc; 31 May 2008 at 14:43. |

Another red flag - Shedden's going to have just under 3 minutes to set a time once they restart.

The session was also a disaster for Andrew Jordan - a hero at Thruxton two weeks ago - when his John Guest Racing Honda Integra suffered persistent gearbox problems. |
