Honestly apart from the incident in the rain I didn't see any issues at Donington. BGT isn't the first series to have been caught out with cars on slicks in a sudden downpour. And the driver who committed the biggest offence was a Pro, not an Am.
I like the Pro Am aspect of British GT. Having 3 hour races rather than 1 hour races also seems to produce less of a race under SC (percentage wise). So I'm down for 3 hour races at each event. |

I think until you see the cars trying to navigate these tracks in person it can often look OK on tv, Donington is OK but Oulton is certainly not. I think the series has been unlucky with weather, but that is why having a GT series in the UK has always been tricky!! Pro AM is always going to be the way, the rich guy are the ones that keep the series afloat, it would be dead without them, but I am not a fan sorry.

But is that because he is a half decent 'amateur' partnered by a very decent pro?

Half decent? No. Couldn't get out of his own way in Carrera Cup or BTCC. Have to give props to Sandy Mitchell for overcoming the human success ballast he's laden with.

Martin's kept his powder dry so far this year overall I think. Doesn't have to be an sce, just do a sensible enough job so the pro doesn't have to much to do. |
