It will be easy - the quicker cars will be at the front.

I'm very disappointed with BTC. Their drivers are Cookie, Creesy and Jade E, I was really hoping they would have sponsorship from telecoms company EE.

PMR are listed as Independents, as are Dynamics.

Motorbase are shown as Manufacturer/Constructor entries, with BMW and Toyota as Manufacturer entries.

Matt K · 22 Apr 2021, 12:46 (Ref:4047280)

As expected when it comes to PMR. Vauxhall's 'involvement' was close to none, no wonder they 'pulled out' very quietly.
Surprised about Motorbase though. It's like Team AON back in 2010, isn't it.

Pretty sure that's Reidy's MG at the back...

DaviePHD · 22 Apr 2021, 12:50 (Ref:4047282)

I know it's just a test but...

Goff goes fastest!

4 of the top 10 are RWD - has the advantage gone?

Plato near the front, I expected that but it's great to see it.

Jade - 3/10ths of the front row pace! Not bad at all....

Craner Curves · 22 Apr 2021, 12:52 (Ref:4047283)

GKR are the new RCIB.

I really like the Motorbase livery and it does mirror the colour of their products.

Well my eyesight is best described as a bit iffy but I can tell the cars apart, and I looked at the picture on a mobile phone, so maybe some of you need to see an optician.

Maybe not teammates, but that's always been a struggle for me except for single seaters where the driver's helmet can help enormously - Senna's bright yellow as the standout example I remember.

Yep as expected not just a 2 horse manufacturer race

Matt K · 22 Apr 2021, 14:02 (Ref:4047296)

Sorry this may be a bit of an off-top but Rob Huff was confirmed today to continue in STCC. Considering he always refused to return to the BTCC unless he's paid does it mean he's paid in STCC?
Given the STCC's field is quite poor in quantity (hard for me to say about its quality), I'd imagine BTCC would be quite more challenging for Huffy.

porsche962fan · 22 Apr 2021, 14:34 (Ref:4047305)

one of the worst looking grids livery wise

It's almost as if he did it knowing that most people only check times at the end of the session.

And the entire field separated by only a second! Again, it’s just a test, but it seems we are in for a good year.

They are always separated by less than a second at Silverstone National. It's only got four corners.

Robshillito1990 · 22 Apr 2021, 15:39 (Ref:4047322)

Shedden definitely hasn't lost any of his speed in a btcc car

WestHam92 · 22 Apr 2021, 16:01 (Ref:4047329)

Like any test session, there's only so much you can learn. For all we know, Goff could have had two laps of fuel in the car! We'll get a better idea of where things are in Thruxton qualifying.

Cinghio44 · 22 Apr 2021, 16:40 (Ref:4047339)

Wow Flash got the new track record by over 2 tenths. That Honda is pretty fast on Silverstone

Goff very impressive with the new car, encouraging time also by Ingram. Silverstone (Nat) probably is not the most technical track so it remais to be seen how they go in other places. But these reference could be good for Thruxton I think. Anyway a lot of drivers didn't push to the limit

Alfisti · 22 Apr 2021, 18:43 (Ref:4047369)

All looking promising to me. I placed a wager on Flash to be champion a few weeks ago... I am not regretting that (so far!!!)

Was everyone on the same tyre?

That's a bold prediction! Although not completely surreal

but I'd go for Turks I think

S griffin · 23 Apr 2021, 10:05 (Ref:4047466)

Glad to see Flash back up to speed immediately. Impressive times from Goff, hopefully it's not a false dawn for HARD.

Interesting to see Motorbase/MB becoming constructors. Certainly it's nice to know after all the hard work they've put in

A three way title fight between Turkington, Sutton and Shedden would be delicious

Does anyone know whether there was any filming of the action yesterday at Donington and if it's still available online? I did search yesterday, but couldn't find anything.

Don’t you mean Silverstone?
