Rain-related - I recall previous wet races where BTC-T cars had an advantage over S2000 cars because tyre changes could be performed so much quicker. Do the NGTCs have a similar wheel-nut setup to the S2000s?
I was thinking though about the NGTC cars likely advantage in terms of tyre wear at Thruxton - Jackson's Ford in particular seems to munch rubber! (That might be a Focus thing, my ST170 goes through Toyo T1-R's at a frightening rate ....)
Back to reality though, I suppose in that respect a wet track would be a leveller - unless of course conditions changed during a race and there was a difference in wheel fastening arrangements.

The NGTC cars have centre lock wheel nuts, so one wheel nut to change per wheel, compared to 5 per wheel for the S2000 cars.
If tyre changes do come into play, the NGTC runners will have a distinct advantage.
no they wont cause the regs say ngtc cars can only have one person each side to change wheels and s2000 cars can use two people each side
It's still one person per wheel though, and if conditions are changeable they often tend to have wets on the front and slicks on the back anyway (or the other way round?)

?? no its not.
s2000 have one person per wheel (two persons each side). ngtc have one person doing two wheels(one person per side)
Curse my busy schedule! I estimate I will be driving past on the A303 at some point during race two. I can't remember how much track you can see from the road, but I'll bet you can hear it. Must...not...attend...
