I will be there, hopefully somewhere close to Mr Bodysnatcher and his merry crew.
Hmmm Polo's at Paddock, could be interesting (or a nightmare) |

As many as 27 Polos, and seemingly none with experience of Brands !!
Thundery showers indeed predicted as of now. Still a little far from Sunday to be that reliable a forecast though. I thought thundery showers usually build up through a humid day, so maybe the DTM might get away with it being an early-ish race. Maybe after 2 dry sessions of practice those polo drivers might get a wet Paddock Hill Bend to test them in their race though !! |

I've taken all the non-event related technical rules talk to this thread http://tentenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=109375
Please keep this one on topic! I'm looking forward to my day in the rain tomorrow! |

I hope that Timo Scheider can take his Pole-Position into a Race-Victory. Ekström just on P7. It would be very hard for him. Schneider and Kristensen out at Q2. Bad performance !!!

Weather forecasts look to have been right. High potential for a wet race this afternoon! (I have mixed emotions)

Bad for Spectators at the Track. Good for Spectators at the TV (like me). Hope it would be a great Race. This Season needs a few good Races.

Spectators 2008: 26.800 Thanks to Lewis Hamilton ??? The Race was good (better than the most DTM-Races 2008). Now I hope that Timo Scheider will be the DTM-Champ 2008. |

But yes, the real strength of DTM is it's self promotion. A LOT of series would do them selves a lot of good if they picked up a few ideas from them. |

Anyhow, nevermind the DTM what about the real story of the meeting. What happened in the Polo Cup? I heard at least one car was testing the limits of the Paddock Hill gravel on Saturday. Was it the chaos we predicted? |

I really dont like that track!
Why cant we race on the full Brands Hatch track, instead of the slotcarlike Indy track. No overtaking, and few alternate lines. |

I have seen Polos fly, I have seen them on one wheel and I have seen one do a full 360 somersault. But yes, you HAVE to pay attention. Thats the bad part.. Last edited by Aslak Vind; 31 Aug 2008 at 21:49. |

Ofcourse the poor people didnt know about the circuit before they moved there... Sure they did.. It is not noise, it is MUSIC! Honestly, the Indy circuit is a joke.. |

Actually I by far prefer the Indy circuit over the GP track. Better racing, closer action, more fun. I mean, its not like the GP loop has a lot of overtaking opportunities.
