In the piece that went out on the series website over the summer it sounds like Unlimited have a second Cupra all ready to go for next season, could that be the unaccounted for 076?

That said, the subrames and running gear had already been removed from most of the cars before the finance company repo'ed them so there will be plenty of spare bits floating around. |

It was Excelr8 that had the missing car for parts before returning the shell to the finance company. According to Bob Sharpless all 6 cars are 'accounted for'. Un-Limited do have a second car for next year, I get the feeling with the way the team is being run that they will only run it if a driver has the budget in place, rather than the old HARD way.

Yeah the article all sounded very sensible, I expect they might have a fight to keep DeLeon but if they can keep Duckhams as a title sponsor that would be a bonus. |

Fantastic news, really happy for Dan. Hope he could secure a full-time seat for next season although I guess it'll be another difficult task to find budget for Brands Hatch, let alone full season next year.

Great for Dan to get another run, hopefully he'll get 3 good results and find the monies for Brands.

Does anyone know of anywhere I can see the running total for the BTCC championship after individual rounds in past seasons?
Specifically, I need to know how much ballast every car had after qualifying in each race in 2012-2021. Any ideas? |

It might be a bit of work to link two sources together. Part 1 - TSL timing. The championship standing (on which Q ballast was calculated) is given in pdf form after each event. e.g. - The standing after the first meeting in 2012 can be found here - https://www.tsl-timing.com/file/?f=T...1303ptstrg.pdf Part 2 - Wayback Machine. I can only see back as far as 2015, but you might be able to get the earlier seasons (unless anyone can confirm the amounts stayed the same for 2012-2015). From this site, the ballast is confirmed as: 2015 - 1st:75kg, 2nd:66kg 3rd:57kg, 4th:48kg, 5th:39kg, 6th:33kg, 7th:27kg, 8th:21kg, 9th:15kg, 10th:9kg You should be able to trawl through the scrapes to see when the amounts changed. https://web.archive.org/web/20150915...d-regulations/ |

TSL timing is exactly what I needed, thank you very much.
I thought of a formula I could use to estimate how much difference the success ballast made to the lap-times, but I was struggling to find out how much ballast each car had in each qualifying session in order to test it, because I didn't know who was leading the championship going into each round but TSL timing has that information. |
