BTCC - Donington Park 9th and 10th October

[colin79666]

Nearly the weekend so time to get this discussion rolling.

Will Sutton take the championship or will the ballast hold him back? Can Ingram stay within touching distance? Will Turkington do his usual and sneak into a lead without winning a race? Will Sheddon finally get an incident free weekend and make progress?

Qualifying 1435 tomorrow. Races around 1155, 1435 and 1720 with all the usual supporting action between. ITV4 as usual.

We are camping here, we arrived when it was dark but I think we are somewhere near coppice, I’m happy with either a Sutton or turkington win in the championship, although it would be good to see Wookie on the top step,

I don’t think weight stops Sutton in all honesty.

Ttle battle will go to Brands Hatch. It wouldn't be a shock if Ingram, Hill and Turkington suddenly have more pace this weekend, not that Gow would ever orchestrate such a thing to keep the interest in the series.

Well Ingram and Turkington had more pace at least anyway... Where did Sutton's pace go in the second race? He didn't have that much weight on but just seemed to be nowhere.

That might be the only way to watch this weekend, ITV4 is down.

ITV4 seems to be working OK for me.

Do you live in the North of England? There was a transmitter fire and lots of people are having issues there. You can always watch on the ITV Hub website or app. Lot better quality than the over air broadcast as well.

Ginetta Juniors entertaining as usual

Race 2 should be interesting, see if with less weight on if Sutton is more prepared to risk going round Plato.

[Vuoto]

That was one of the best fights for a win in the Juniors that I can remember .
Those 2 were welded together for 12 laps.

[Vuoto]

I predicted Sutton to win that race 2 , no one spotted Ingram , Sutton was nowhere , then Colin fell off and he ended up 4th .

[cuprabob]

[Vuoto]

Jake Hill to win race 3 , you read it here first .

[Vuoto]

How does the rear wing fall off the Mini in a minor spin , held on with not very Superglue ?

[stevemcs]

Hoping for a Wookie win

[Vuoto]

Shedden must have dobbed him in for the pass to take the lead , the tv evidence isn't clear .
I thought my earlier prediction might go out the window but the race 3 grid is unaffected up the front .

[Speed Badger]

Wookie - what happened in race 2? You were around 6th/7th then all of a sudden you were 14th odd but the cameras didn't catch it.

[WelshPetrolhead]

Snapped you Wookie!
