I have to wonder if it will get hot enough, especially for the race distance tomorrow, to start to have a small effect on some of the drivers' human levels of performance. At the very least it must be a slight distraction. They're lucky it's not the Diamond Double at Snetterton this year!

Have JP and Cookie swapped identities for the day? Also 4 Beamers in the top 5.

BMW 1-2-3 , Turkington even without any hybrid, prepare for boost reduction (moaning) for BMW....

Congrats Colin. The BMW doesn’t traditionally go well around Snet but it seems to have had a resurgence.

Turkington was on pole last year after Shedden was disqualified.
It's a little disappointing to have the BMWs dominating qualifying again, but I am so pleased to see Jason Plato in sixth on the grid. Hopefully he will get a win tomorrow, with the reversed-grid race most likely. Add that to Rowbottom, Chilton and Collard in the top ten and I am generally pleased with the grid. Snetterton is my most-regularly visited track so it is a shame not to be able to go this season, although possibly lucky as the heat is even worse than last year when I thought I had covered myself in sun cream but returned home to find a bright red stripe down my neck which had just been missed. I suppose they call it Sunny Snetterton because it is always on the hottest day of the year, except in 2018 when it didn't rain for over a month and then on Snetterton race day suddenly rained extremely heavily and sideways, contributing to that amazing battle between Jack Goff and Ash Sutton. |

At least you can save yourself the time if you already know it will be another boring day. ![]() Many others think that the racing has been entertaining lately. The Honda's Achilles heel has always been running in higher temperatures. Unfortunately [from Honda's perspective], the current ambient only makes it worse for FWD cars. It's going to be a tough day tomorrow to match the RWD tyre advantage - expect to see many FWD drivers having to move out to get clear air along the straights. |

Arguably he's had better results in the old car that he had at the start of the year in the new car.
I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone (and we all know who) posts a load of stats to prove/disprove that. |
