not sure anything needs done about saleen - number 8 was off the pace and don't forget number 7 has the best driver pairing in the championship. Its a quick car with quick drivers, its bound to win the odd race or two. Admittedlym, the GT race could have been better.

GTO was a cracker though.

viperman, heard today Brookspeed aren't competing in any more GT races this season, costing them 20K per race with no new money coming in.

I think you're right about the best driver pairing in the championship, but they will not only have additional weight penalties for Silverstone, I believe they may also have a more severe restrictor imposed on them as well. We'll have to wait and see if that makes any difference - becuase the extra few kilos certainly won't!

I didn't folow that car very closely. Nathan Kinch had been given a big build up pre-Knockhill but he seems to be easing himself in gently?

Was Herridge rapid for his whole stint?

I was talking to someone closely involved with Chamberlains and basically they don't have any drivers to hand with the budget so their car(s) will sit idle too.
