It was around the end of Super Touring the warm-up disappeared. 1999 definitely had them. Not sure if it was 2000 or 2001 they were dropped.

This sending them out for a warm up feels like “at least we tried but we it’s too wet to race go home”

In case the round gets cancelled (not sure how likely it is), do you think the Donington round may be rescheduled or would it be just a 9-round championship this year? Pretty curious how they'd go about it, don't think I recall such a situation in the past 10 years or so.

Wouldn’t like to drop a wheel in that trench they’re digging!

It was unfair because those that got knocked out in Group 1 had to qualify in the rain and group 2 didn’t. Therefore those that didn’t make the cut from group 1 were always going to make up the last 4 places in the grid. Like I said it’s the difference in starting 13th or 20th.

Would be ironic if whenever they do get the first race underway is if they end up on slicks at some point.

This warm-up session is looking like a waste of time. Can't say I blame them for not running. Who wants to go out and write off £100K+ for nothing?
Ignore this - looks like they just don't have the timing system running. Last edited by thetool; 28 Apr 2024 at 11:13. |

With the group 1 & group 2 issue in qualifying, wouldn't it be easier to just have all the cars out together? I get they want to reduce congestion but with only 20 cars this season, the problem of the last several years has gone away

Seeing the drivers' feedback it doesn't look good, does it Last edited by Matt K; 28 Apr 2024 at 11:23. |

I don't if it was intended to be a slight, but in the ITV studio truck, Jade Edwards commented that the leading drivers in BTCC know how to pass backmarkers quickly yet safely. And she name-checked Sutton, Ingram, Cook and Turkington but didn't mention Hill even though the conversation between the 4 of them in the studio was about those 4 drivers, not including Cook; he would have made 5 drivers.

Still too wet after discussions with drivers and another inspection.

British GT going racing 1 hour down the road, but they're talking about rain hitting them again soon at Silverstone. Hopefully it's not going north.

It's pretty much unprecedented in the modern era to have an entire day washed out. Silverstone in 1999 is the closest I can recall, but even there the BTCC Feature Race was able to be run fairly normally. |

Looking at the Rain Today rainfall radar app it looks to be clearing up and no more rain expected.
