He's taken advantage of the car he has and has got the results in he needs. That's how champions are made.

Can someone explain to me how Will Burns' situation is Force Majure but Luke Devenport's was not?

Force majeure applied in both cases, but only for one round. Motorbase missed one round (with that entry), HARD are doing the same. It's just that in this case 'one round' and 'remainder of the season' are the same thing

For those wanting to watch live qualifying on Saturday, it would seem as though it has been brought forward to 15.05.
And on Sunday, the live programme on ITV 4 may or may not be starting at 10.15 - BTCC website differs from ITV's which is showing start at 10.30. Whatever, the forecast is for rain on and off all day on Sunday. Should add further spice to what promises to be a cracking (obviously, not literally) set of races. |

Don't worry Mike, what I say to her is totally different to what I dare say on here

Looking like it's going to be a wet one this weekend... which is a shame as it is one of the few rounds I am attending!
In which case I reckon Sutton will have the advantage - always seems to be amazing in tricky conditions, notably Croft last year |

Good show from Brett Smith in FP
I'll predict Morgan on pole... and be horribly wrong as usual...! |

Is there anyone reading this who is at Brands? In
I thought quali was supposed to start at 15:05 but there's nothing showing yet on the live streaming or timing. Is there a delay? |

So, ITV have been showing the support races today. But for some baffling and utterly illogical reason, are only showing the races for series in which the championship hasn't already been decided. So that means that they've shown race 1 of both F4 & Juniors, with BTCC qualifying about to start. Then there'll be a 30-ish minute break where they won't be showing Clios, after which the Ginetta GT4s will be shown. Then another break when F4 has their second race (Caroline clinched the title in race 1), followed by the second Junior race. Of course, being ITV's stream, none of this is in HD. And there are people who think this sort of coverage is good.

unless Sutton DNF in race 1 it's all pretty much finished
Mr. Gow must be proud , the team which made that media fiasco ends up winning https://www.autosport.com/btcc/news/...und-of-moaning |

Strange session, fairly mixed grid and a disaster for WSR.
It's Sutton's to lose now. Last edited by pimmy; 30 Sep 2017 at 15:22. |

Yup, as predicted, I knew the BMWs would struggle at Brands GP. They never seem to go well at this track. I did however expect Honda to be a little further forward than they are (not counting Goff).

Is there anything in the TBL rules that prevented Collard being replaced before qualifying? Surely have nothing to lose by putting someone else in the car
Hope they found out what was wrong with Colin's electrics, as he needs the car to work tomorrow, especially with Sutton so far ahead and him only having one teammate now to Sutton's 3. Of course Tingram's chances are now officially gone. Well done Goff, he's really been a star this season. Hope he's back next season. Shame Brett went from top in FP2 to bottom in quali |

Back from Qualy now and it was a bit of a hash up, a little light rain, red flags, collard withdrawl, turkington in pits most of the time twiddling his thumbs. but finally got going and looks a very interesting grid. Hoping predicted rain fails to materialise tomorrow.

Rain is the only chance Turkington has.

I have not got the impression that the BMW's are particularly good in the wet this year?

Advantage to Sutton for sure, but you'd have to be a fool to say it's all pretty much finished. With the grid the way it is, there are going to be a lot of people who reckon they're in with a shout of the win in race one and I don't see many of them being likely to hand Sutton a free pass if the situation arose - Goff has said as much and you can bet that Moffat, Morgan, Austin etc will be focusing on their own races. Weather likely to play a part as well.
I'm excited - we're going to have some very interesting races to enjoy no matter who comes out of it on top. The only thing that will dampen the fun a bit is if Turkington loses out due to that electrical fault - if they are both able to give it their best then they both deserve the title, so bring it on. |
