Formula Renault Thruxton test predictions

Paul Rayner · 2 Apr 2002, 13:39 (Ref:249911)

I'm expecting this to be the lowest turn-out for a prediction thread so far because:

1) It's tomorrow.
2) There wasn't much interest in the race prediction
3) The novelty's beginning to wear off.

But what the hey.

1) Danny Watts
2) Robert Bell
3) Patrick Long
4) Lewis Hamilton
5) Will Davison

I actually expect McLoughlin to be up there, but didn't want to pick the top 5 from Brands, and someone had to go. Sorry Mark.

What happened to Jamie Green at Brands? I saw the car in two bits back in the paddock, so I presume a mega shunt? Any cast any light?

paulzinho · 2 Apr 2002, 13:50 (Ref:249921)

1 Mcloughlin
2 Hamilton
3 Long
4 Watts
5 Green

And Garcia in the top 12!!

Dingle Dell. Need I say more?

Anyone know when the Renaults will be on TV? if at all?

kbudden · 2 Apr 2002, 16:31 (Ref:250057)

1. Watts
2. Hamilton
3. Mcloughlin
4. Bell
5. Rudholm

Legge and Rossiter within the top 12.

Re the Renaults on TV. As I understand it the series will again be covered by Chequered Flag - maybe if C is lurking he can confirm this. Therefore expect it to be on Channel 4 sometime soon - probably at about 1am on a Sunday or Monday morning.

Yes, they will. They wanted to announce it at the weekend but having everyone in one place to sign the relevant contracts ain't as simple as it might sound.

I know Granada/ITV were filming it and on-boards were used. I guess we'll just have to wait a little longer ...

You understand wrong. I think you may be a little surprised with what's in store, providing everything falls into place.

Meant to say, top five in Thruxton test:
1. Hamilton
2. McLoughlin
3. Bell
4. Watts
5. Rudholm
6. Kane

I don't know for sure when it will be on, but I do know that when it is it will be very good. The live television race coverage that was shown in the media centre was very high quality in my opinion, with good graphics and good camera work. Add on board cameras and condense the coverage and it'll be great.

you're right, the novelty has worn off. why's it not a race?

1. watts
2. bell
3. hamilton
4. long
5. kane

(if anyone's at the test, think of me falling asleep during a politics revision course at school. zzz...)

paulzinho · 2 Apr 2002, 22:01 (Ref:250390)

School? tomorrow?!!!!!

Unlucky, actuallt wait a sec, i've gotta revise... DOH!!!

BAR Babe · 2 Apr 2002, 23:18 (Ref:250441)

yer right here you go.

McLouglin
Watts
Bell
Long
Hamillton

That enough?

yep.
ok.
Go have fun people
Think of me stuck at work.
Trying to get over the weekend...... STILL!!!

Paul Rayner · 4 Apr 2002, 13:54 (Ref:251781)

I guess the board must have collapsed when I posted this yesterday, so I'll try again.

The standings at Thruxton were:
1) Bell
2) McLoughlin
3) Watts
4) Sharp
5) Rudholm

So the scores were:
Jonny Apex 6
kbudden 5
BAR Babe 3
Paul Rayner/paulzinho/bella 2

**bella** · 4 Apr 2002, 14:18 (Ref:251795)

(mind you, wasn't quite expecting ryan to do that...)
