BTCC 2022 - Brands Hatch GP

[Sebring440]

The final rounds of this year's championship! Where has the year gone?

The Pit Lane Walkabout / Autograph Session is early this time at 9:00-9:30am, so you'll need to be there early if you want to meet the drivers, get posters signed, etc.

All TV coverage on ITV4 on Sunday.

Despite the criticisms about this year not being as exciting as previous years, I'm looking forward to it

[Joeywinkle]

Marshalling this weekend so will be there nice and early. Hoping to have been posted up on the GP loop

Will be rooting for the local lad Jake Hill who should be tough to beat around Brands but would also love Ingram to clinch it too, seems like a genuinely decent bloke who has come close so many times!

Either way, any of them deserve it. Hybrid system definitely has some niggles that need ironing out but i've quite enjoyed this season!

[DanielSan]

After so much focus on him last weekend I feel like Lord Gow has fixed it for Ingram to get his first title this year. Hopefully we can have some mixed weather to result throw a final curve ball into it for this season.

I live 20 mins from Brands Hatch, everyone is busy so it will be a solo outing and I'll probably get cold, plus the TV coverage will be better and easier to follow the championship outcomes. Plus Arsenal v Liverpool is on at half 4, someone help me get over the line and get my ass to Brands!

The grid positions will be crucial and then the first race but I reckon Sutton will the the title again .

1 second covered 3/4 of the grid at Silverstone ,don't suppose it will be that close over the GP circuit .

You could well be right after seeing the Qualy results

BTCC site is garbage , I can see who's on pole but the rest is "to follow ".

How long does it take to post a report of the top 10 ?

10 minutes later still nothing else , perhaps they are sorting out all the track limits penalties .

2nd edit.....grid list now available .

How did Dexter Patterson get an Infiniti into 7th place ?

1...Ingram
Butcher
Sutton
Cammish

Really hoping Tom Ingram clinches it this year. I used to sponsor him back in his Ginetta Junior days. Will have to record it as I am out most of the day. What with this, Bathurst and F1 tomorrow is looking like a motorsport day.

Great job in quali by Ingram! Title challenge is going to be interesting. Bobby Thompson P6! Great effort!

Hoping for an exciting race, weather always mixes things up here but either looking forward to it.

[Dinoboy]

Hoping for some good racing today and hoping Ingram can get his title.

Same - now we know all OK, I'm intrigued to see how it got there...

It's going to be a while, so suspect BTCC race delayed, plus rest of day. TOCA always struggle to recover lost time. Race 3 could be pretty dark.

[SpudLink]

Very lucky marshal. Saved by the tree, I think.

[Mutton]

Some very lucky marshalls there.

[EDLT]

Did I miss the first BTCC race?
