Question for you BGT experts: has the Brands Hatch July date been a (more or less) fixed one over the years or has the event been bouncing all over the schedule? Thx.

That worked, thanks. Not overly consistent it seems however...

Hear hear was thinking exactly the same thing. Maybe its just that the Ferrari was a bit to quick early season and in danger of ruining the Aston Martin Party - ....

Snetterton
I see the exocet in the Black Mclaren is back from his ban at Snetterton It must be some sort of record 12 points in two race meetings and yet It seems he has been racing elsewhere - on what licence? He was clearly out of his depth at Oulton and Rockingham and yet BGT have him back - does he pay for the damage he causes to other drivers cars? Money talks I guess.....

Going to be a wet race 2 at Snetterton, after the Astons finished 1,2,3,4 in race 1 im sure the rain is music to the ears of Attard/Sims.
As for Yoluc the car was excluded from race 1 due to poor driving standards again. Its understandable why Von Ryan haven't told him to find another team but im sure it cant help their reputation after very promising races in Blancpain. Just saw that Attard & Sims were given a 30 second time penalty for the contact with Mike Simpsons Ginetta, overkill much? Start of race two and title contenders Attard/Sims and Griffin/Butcher made contact on the exit of turn 2 both cars receiving punctures and suspension damage.

Beechdean win race two after it was red flagged with 10 minutes to go due to absolutely horrific weather conditions. Amazing car control from everyone to be fair.

Yuluc excluded again! This must be a record? Three consecutive events and three exclusions - wow has there ever been a worse record even Maldanado cannot match that. I see the Ferrari didn't make race two after the Yuluc attack. Shouldn't the RAC be looking at this Guy who is clearly completely in over his head?

Im surprised the Ferrari did not take part in race 2, it finished race 1 and the damage was minor.

If he offends again at Donington then the discussion needs to happen as to weather or not he needs his licence taking off him for good, or to ban him from such powerful cars for a few years - not sure of his racing record before BGT!? |

If the officials apply driving standard rules today how they were earlier in the season then there will be alot of disqualifications..

Does anyone know Mr Yoluc's racing background, because he really does seem out of his depth in a GT3...? |

But he raced International GT Open and Nurburgring GT4 races recently and didn't do anything crazy. |

Are you discussing about the guy driving the McLaren second stint? He pushed the Oman Aston Martin exiting the chicane. Also I didn´t like Jamie Chadwick, crashing with another car in the first lap and then incident with the Barwell BMW.
Congratulations to Howard and Adam! Good racing day at Donington, the autograph session was packed! The afternoon races were a bit dull with too many safety cars. |

After the accidents he had this year I do wonder if a harsher penalty is needed. Even with the accidents he is having on his own it costs all the other cars on the grid money in lost track time. not to mention the ones he has had against other cars. I believe that the criteria to race in higher level series should be harder to meet. 1 season of car racing is not sufficient to then be racing car as fast as a GT3 car. With slower progression through different series race craft and car control is developed which is all used when driving the faster cars. I don't think expecting all drivers competing in something like British GT should have competed in 3 seasons of car racing would be unreasonable. |

so Yoluc destroyed his car ON HIS OUTLAP?!!! Really ? How can this character be allowed on a track? Where is the RAC? presumably money talks....
Also, how come Chadwick and Griffin didn't get points on their licences like Eastwood and Carroll did earlier in the season. It seems to me if your face doesn't fit in BGT then life can be difficult. I only met Gary Eastwood once - he seemed super nice and just the sort of Gentelman racer BGT should attract.. |
