Media Day Testing Session Predictions

[Andy Metcalf]

Just wondered if any of you woud like to put their head on the block this early in the season. Next week will see all the BTCC Drivers and Teams attent the BTCC Media Day and Testing Session. What is you prediction for the top three Drivers by the end of the day.

1. Driver a
2. Driver b
3. Driver c

And who do you think might get it all wrong and scratch their new paintwork?

Driver z

[touringlegend]

A very hard decision indeed, but going on last season, I'd presume it'll be
1. Plato
2. Muller
3. Pickford

I think SEAT will be the stronger team this season, but Vauxhall won't be far off.

As for who will bin it, that's just too hard a question!

[redshoes]

Depends if they want a serious test or just to grab a few pre-season headline.

[rdjones]

Here goes:-

1. Plato
2. Muller
3. Turkington

Thats of the top of my head. I think it all depends on what cars are out, and IF there are any WSR MG's out no dobut they will be up near the top of the timesheets, along with the Team Dymanics Honda.

[Andy Metcalf]

1. Plato
2. Neal
3. Muller

And one of the young Rookies in the loose stuff.

[Tim.Lad]

I think that if you ring Donnington they will tell you that you can get in at 9am

Yes Gravett, in a new updated Proton with ? sponsorship

[+ its a Chevy]

wouldn't surprise me to see the VXR team in the kitty litter as the car is new-ish to them and they'll be showing off....
However, vauxhall are using the April 10th date as the launch date for the new sports hatch astra so it wouldnt be too much of a surprise if they went out to prove a point.

is this just a wish? or something you've heard about thats actually going to happen? it just seems really unlikely to me

[Kicking-back]

It's just fantasy.

[Hazard]

Proton's went to the south side of the globe I think...potential ATCC competitors I think, I heard that they would be modified to Super 2000 specification.

Of course Gravett could always run in that Leon Cupra he ran last time out at Donington.

[Neil Adams]

2/3 of my predictions where in the final top 3, was a good day

[Neil Adams]

just an extra note to say i think lemmer did really well to finish ahead of two works seats in a car i guess that was completley new to him, (he was driving kayes car) on this showing hes fast enough to still be in it!

[JLD]

Collard must be the suprise for some (fastest sector 1, fastest sector 2, 2nd fastest lap).

[touringlegend]

I've never seen Collard as an ultimate pace setter, but perhaps the pressure thats off him as he's not running the team, added to the fact WSR are very proffesional outfit has equated to making him far quicker.

I seriously hope they get the funds, and get a 2nd, competitive driver quickly.

[Craner Curves]

Surprising yes. It'll be different when the races begin though. He's clearly as underfunded as ever this year, so will probably be reluctant to actually race with other cars incase he gets damage and will probably pootle around unspectacularly as usual.
