BTCC The Annual 2016 Predictions Thread
Righty ho, we know the entry list for the 2016 season, so it's time for our 5 predictions. Make them as simple - first time winners - or as obscure - number of sponsors on Jake Hill's helmet at Knockhill - as you want!
Here's mine, which will no doubt be miles out 1) A Subaru Levorg won't complete any of the three races at Brands Hatch 2) Team HARD. will change one of their drivers at least once this season 3) Rob Austin will get a few podiums for Handy 4) Kelvin Fletcher will miss a round for filming commitments 5) MG will surprise a few people with their pace Apologies to all the drivers I've cursed now |

2 - Donington Park race 3 sees only 3 full laps of racing 3 - Neate gets one reverse grid pole but finishes the first lap in a tyre wall 4 - Turkington outscores Plato by just 1 point 5 - It looks like another all dry season but the final 2 rounds are very, very wet... |

1) Tordoff for pole and Race 1 win at Round 1.
2) Turkington to finish ahead of Plato in the points. 3) Jeff Smith to score a podium before the season is out. 4) Much deliberation over the soft tyre in the early rounds, before we realise it "going off" too quickly is simply due to the cold temperatures at that time of year. 5) Not all cars will make Knockhill. |
