I would think it is not the car, they are normally pretty bulletproof

He quit earlier in the year, probably from workload, but I would think also he was not happy about how the team was working either he never shone that much in British GT and only seemed interesting picking up a pay cheque.

Marciello is a BMW factory driver.
So is Hesse. So is Harper.. Do the the teams/owners request a works driver, or do the manufacturers say 'listen if you're going to buy/lease one of our cars and represent us you better have somebody who at least knows how to drive it'?? |

I would guess Macdonald leases the cars and pays extra for a good driver, either way he is paying for the main driver.

On the off chance? Is anyone going to BrandsHatch tomorrow? Was supposed to be marshalling but had an accident, so just going as a spectator instead but public transport there is a nightmare. I can get to Swanley train station. I believe I can get you a free ticket as a marshall!

I understand why they left the race under FCY because it came out just before the pit window opened and they didnt want to ruin the race but now we have had an almost 25 minute FCY/SC period for a car to be removed from the gravel. The GT4 leader was also able to gain the best part of a lap on the rest of the GT4 field. Why couldn't they just delay the pit window instead?

Main reason I dont watch British GT anymore, the rules dont suit our racing or our tracks. They are for good reason, but so m,any races are just endless periods under SC, it needs a shake up for British GT.
