The feed was great this weekend, perhaps the best coverage so far. I went to the event on Saturday, it's a brilliant venue and the BHC cars need to be seen live.

Unfortunately missed the live feed, but having been going to Shelsley since the 80s can agree it's a nice venue to watch at; controversially though I preferred it in the 80s-early 90s. Getting to see the run-offs, which at the time were in cars with manual gearboxes, little downforce and absolutely nothing in terms of traction control or electronic aids was superb - thanks to the elevated banks at Shelsley you could see in to the cockpits of the single seaters, and the drivers rarely had both hands on the wheel! The times were barely 3 seconds slower than the mega machines of today too, not bad given worse tyres, less downforce and 100-200bhp or more less than the cars of today!
