Under Pressure?

[fudge]

Thinking about the number of new drivers in the BTCC & BTCP this year, how do you feel about the pressure they will be under to perform well in thier first race at Brands? After reading the opinions of others in this forum, it's up to the new boys to prove themselves, or up to the established drivers to look to their laurels? We may see some nerves showing in testing at Silverstone.

I think when you look at the drivers entering, there are in fact very few totally 'rookie' drivers; i don't think BTCC rookies like Erdos, Malkin, Jim Jnr. etc have much to prove. In the end, the best drivers will come through and will prove their points.

i dont think they'll be very nervous and under pressure they should just relex and enjoy the race, as teams do not really know how well they're car should be running compared to everyone else, so its gonna be a learning period!

I think the first race of the season will be absolute mayhem.

New drivers and teams, More established drivers in a new style of car, First day back at school mentality, It should be great!

And I'm planning on being there!
