BTCC Silverstone (28 - 29 September)

[ols]

Hey folks.

Thought I would make a thread for this as there doesn't appear to be one

Looking forward to see what the outcome of quali is.

[MyVTECGoesBwaaah]

Looks like a dry qualifying and the potential for wet races, should be an interesting weekend. Hoping Cammish can get some points on the BMW pair.

Hope anyone going enjoys it, wrap up warm!!

[shake n bake]

Great to see Plato on pole and his old rival right behind him.
See what the weather does tomorrow now.

If it's wet Sutton will most likely win at least two races.

[KevBowler]

If anyone’s interested I have 2 tickets for tomorrow (Sunday) and a ring road parking pass. (So you can park right by the track)

They are completely free of charge and can be collected outside from my house or outside the circuit.

I’m posting them elsewhere and it’s first come first served.

I was given 4 tickets and 2 car passes but my mate can’t come

Forgot to say I live near M1 J16

Good result for Plato - hopefully he'll line up correctly in his grid slot tomorrow & finally get a win

Looks like Michael Caine is taking the car vacated by Hamilton for Silverstone & Brands Hatch.

We have made a last minute decision to go today. Is there any chance these tickets are still available and able to meet at the event? If so, I am also willing to make a donation to your chosen charity for the tickets.
If not, that’s ok, as I know it’s last minute and you may not even see this post until later.

All the best and have a great time regardless.

That was a bit of a cock up, missed the start of the Porsche race during advert break.

[EDLT]

ITV have gone back to their F1 scheduling days.

Plato can't pass a car without hitting it, even after the race is over.

[Mr MXT]

Be interesting to see what Plato’s love tap was all about on the cool down lap...

[padam]

Jason knocking down the wing mirror after the race ahahaha

[Kraken]

Cracks me up all the people on socials who were condemning plato before the interviews. They only had to wait a couple of minutes to know what was going on but they can't help themselves.

[FourWheelDrift]

Heavy rain here south of Silverstone on it's way north

If they delay the racing with a safety car it might just get very wet before the end.

I didn't condemn him, I actually like him and thought it was funny, that's all.

Tensions are boiling in this second race.

And now the sun is blazing here

Did I say anything about what you posted? I said socials. So Twitter and Facebook.

[MG CHRIS]

The replies on social media are brilliant the plato hates have moved onto Turkington haters. Apparently toca are favouritising BMW and the red flag was a joke. These are the same people that have not once set foot in a race car.

We're here today, bloody freezing!
