I do like a moist Ring!

Didn't see a Manta though

Unfortunately no Manta this year - appears it was lost to a garage fire

Owner is driving some sort of Cupra thing this year!

Looking forward to Steve "Super GT" Brown's video where he explains his disqualification and removal of 'Ring permit.

Double the permitted speed in a code 60. Naughty naughty boy.

Apparently he blasted through 6 marshal-posts that were under the code 60, the disqualification (according to Timing71) stated that he reached 145 km/h Unforgivable really, imagine if he'd hit a marshal or emergency vehicle. The live race chat made for interesting reading yesterday, some of his "fans" attempting to brush it off and saying that the penalty was too harsh

I do wonder if Bilstein will give him the boot now he's no longer eligible to race on the track where every race in the series takes place?

yeah, i’m a fan of Steve myself, I watch a fair bit of their content and have been following him and Jimmy quite keenly on their ventures into real racing.

I am however also marshal, so it’s disappointing to say the least that he’s done what he’s done. That sort of speed through a code 60 is unforgivable really, hence the harshness of the penalty. I believe the punishments for code 60 infringements there run in tiers, with the 4th and harshest tier being an over speed of >60km/h. He was easily doing that and then some as you say!

Dan Harper on an absolute mission - could be the car but still mega impressive to be threading through the slower classes as he is!

[Joeywinkle]

Bloody hell, horrible impact that. Why was he carrying so much speed!

[Joeywinkle]

Oh man that is absolutely rotten luck, #99 was going so well

Next update at 8am local time/ 7am BST!

9am….

I bet Mr. Gilckenhaus is wishing he’d changed that engine for quali now

We had a similar situation on a BTCC meeting I marshalled a few years back; crisp morning but racing was delayed until 11.30am(!) due to the fog despite there being sunshine. Paddock Hill into Druids was completely covered to the point you couldn’t even see the light boxes flashing - let alone flags.

Hoping it won’t be a similar situation here!
