That's just bizarre. But then it involves BTC Racing, who I thought were a bit of a disorganised mess of a team IMHO.

an 'outstanding' issue'- sounds like ORECA think there's an unpaid bill somewhere...
It's a bit rough on Maxtreme though, if it's something that dates back to before they bought the cars.... |

No great loss to be honest. I admire them for having a go, but the car really isn't good enough and you can't develop and race a car on the shoestring budget they say they're operating on.
Shame for Maxtreme as McMillan has impressed me. So we've lost a few cars, but it's still a quality field. That's now 11 out of 20 drivers on the grid that are racewinners. Sounds even better than 11 out of 22/23. |

Are we still to expect a 3rd RML Chevy as well?

Good to read (at touringcartimes.com) that he is ambitious. Can anybody remember his driving in the SEAT -eurocup last year? Was he any good?

Are you not being a bit too hard on someone by comparing their first time out in a car with the amount of proven experience/ability/hours behind the wheel of other Chevy drivers?

Well, Plato and Jackson performed much better, though. If he's out to win, as he said, he'd better tray to get something sorted. Nash is a fine driver IMO, but not as much as Jackson, Plato or even Vaulkhard.

Probably, but did himself set the objective of beating his team mates on his first outing. He should have started with something a bit simpler - like turning up to the drivers briefing on time

I think this only shows how Nash is unexperienced and naive. When you're at your debut, you always have to claim that you're the underdog, because if you say 'I wanna be on pace with Plato on my first outing' some will laugh, some will be curious, some will believe you. Then you qualify out of the top ten and it's a disaster for you, your image and your sponsors. Nash still has a lot to learn... |

I don't think theres much spectator viewing available there. The current layout maximises the amount of trackside viewing to attract people through the gates I'd guess.

You get better racing on the layout used for the BTCC, as well as the usual first lap carnage at kinickerbrook to keep people entertained.

Any reason why this circuit isn't suiting the Hondas? Fantastic effort from Silverline to lock out the front row, it makes Nash look a lot worse than he is.
