This was messy during qualifying. Course car was bumbling along when the green flag waved.

As discussed prevously - the BTC Norlin livery is complete.

Why would they want to ruin one of the most professional looking liveries on the grid (that is consistent with their trucks, support vehicles and website presence) to fill in the gaps with a load of mis-matched stickers.

This is BTCC - not Fast and Furious.

I agree it looks fantastic, but as United Autosport, BMR (the VW's pre-Snetterton) and 888's stint as privateers with the S2000 Vectra taught us, a relatively plain car suggests minimal sponsorship money (or someone behind the scenes whose pockets are only so deep) and that participation in that guise can only last so long.

My worry is that something will snap halfway through the year and we see a driver change or the team drop out.

I find it amusing the brand new PMR Astra is going better than BMR and MG

and Collard doing a push to pass...

any betting odds than Tingram will throw it away in Race 2 ?

Impressed by Proctor and Simpson. Surprising. MG are struggling big time.

Noticed that too - Donington is normally a better track for the MGs (pole last year) so hopefully they'll be further up too. Subaru didn't seem to be anywhere either.

But it is only the first race, lets see how they go later on today.

As expected, Subaru struggled. Looking from Turkington's point of view it's satisfying but from the championship's point of view it's concerning. I wonder where is the problem.

Btw, is it possible to watch races on itv.com?

United had plenty of money behind them and they still do.

Predictions for Turkington and Neal's progress? From around 12th back, the field looks vicious this season, at this track anyway.

Given that Vauxhall top the manufacturers' table, you can be amused that they are also going better than Honda and BMW too.

Although I'm not too sure what is amusing about PMR outperforming another team - unless BMR and 888 have openly criticised PMR?

Jeff Smith says he had a wheel nut fail - like Newsham and apparently Moffat in practise. Let's hope for no more of that.

Interesting that Neal says he was aware of Turkington to the side of him - from the initial footage I'd assumed that neither of them were quite aware of the position of the other.

It's a spec part too. Its bad when spec parts fail.

Neal should've lifted off. "I couldn't lift" is a bad excuse. Yes you can.

Didn't someone else lose a wheel in the first race? or was that not wheelnut related?

Hmmm. Let's see how the rest of this weekend goes, but hopefully eradicated before Donington.
