Hadn't noticed it and their web site is also down, however they are still broadcasting, see the link below to manually add it to your Sky box until it reappears on the EPG

Back on topic, Gow could could very easily change the criteria of the JST, remember the first one (2013) was the highest placed S2000 car, and 2014 was most placed gained in each race by and independant.

Great stuff, thanks. A bit concerning if it does completely vanish though, don't know how I'll spend my evenings!

Supports
I must say the Support Championships all look like they are in good health for this year. MSA Formula, Porsche Carrera Cup GB, Clios and Ginetta Juniors seem to be getting pretty full grids from what I can see. All with some great looking talent on there too, especially MSA Formula. I don't think the full TOCA package has been quite this strong for a number of years. Only the Ginetta GT4 Cup that I haven't heard much about this year.

To be honest, its a pity that the support races are not rotated. The highlight of the support race year is at Knockhill when some of the local championships get a run. Why not have a guest slot for one of the many popular and full club grids we get in this country? Watching 6-8 Porsches trundle round in the past was a yawn fest

No great loss. Well, team management wise anyway.

Do feel for the poor para lads who got mugged along with it though.

Great idea, badly executed.

There's a whole thread about MotorsTV here:

http://tentenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=146371


Back to BTCC - losing SOP is no surprise, as others have said it seems to have been a bit of a cock up from the start. Will anyone pick up the cars for the BTEC series do you think or are they junk?

I would say in reality there will not be much left if all the suppliers are paid/take back what they were never paid for so guess they will be junk

From what I keep reading/hearing there does seem to have been a lot of dishonesty surrounding this team. Who really (financially & otherwise) benefitted?

Honestly. Tut. Anyone would think that the paras, Infiniti themselves, Richard Hawken and basically everyone apart from Derek Palmer Snr, were totally taken for a ride just so someone could get someone's son on the BTCC grid!!!

Crikey that was swift

Not word perfect, but in response to Tim Harvey's tweet earlier today, Derek Palmer jnr said along the lines of "Tim DM me if you want to know more, unnecessary and very unprofessional in my opinion from you".

I spotted it before he tweeted it. Was tempted to list all the fuss of last season and quote back "unprofessional?" but didn't bother.

I'm an armchair warrior after all. ;-)

I was so close to replying to Derek just saying pot, kettle, black but thought it might add fuel to the fire!

What is it they say about Karma, lol!

As its seemingly impossible to edit posts from my phone, and clearly I cannot have seen his tweet before he tweeted it, may I add that what I meant was, that I had seen it before he REMOVED it.

Iiii-a thank you!
