I hope not. Mid weekend changes in BoP (or whatever they do in BTCC with boost and other things) should be banned.
We all know how 'good' that was for TCR in past.

Not only is the stream still not in HD, it's now been squeezed into 4:3 aspect ratio. Utter rubbish from ITV as usual.

I don't normally watch Qualifying, but is the stream normally this bad?

I've uploaded higher quality crap to YouTube from my phone.

It's not normally 4:3, no. But it's never been in HD. And people think ITV's coverage is good!

I've got a GoPro I can lend them, and an old PCI Capture card. That might help.

You can always rely on the sub-standard drivers to bring out a red.

0.3 - 0.4 faster than everyone else on such a SHORT track and people here still claim that the Subaru shouldn't be banned....

0.2 seconds faster than everyone else in S2 - perhaps the Honda should be banned?

Or, 1 second faster than your teammate, perhaps Sutton should be banned?

Or, perhaps a track with changing conditions and tyres that change performance due to wear will lead to continuously varying times - and nothing serious can be determined by the times in this session?

ITV even pre-empted that.

So pleased to see the 3 best drivers on the grid occupying the top 3 positions in the first qualifying of the season. Very fitting.

I wonder if I can get a bet on at the bookies that JP will take Ash out of the race on the first lap ?

Nope, that's Sutton's wet weather wizardry in action.

Bit disappointed to see the MGs so far down - obviously they weren't going to be troubling the top ten, but given they've been so much better in the wet than dry in the last few years it's not quite where I would've expected them. The Mercs were way down, too...

Tim Harvey seemed to suggest the Mercs (cicely at least) have had the least work done to them over the winter. Maybe they are just at the end of their development cycle

Yeah, I've been thinking that too. Given that the Merc has been described as the lesst aerodynamic car on the grid, I'm surprised they didn't give the car the new facelifted front end and made a few tweaks at the same time.

Or, it may be that the Mercs aren't suited to the wet.

Didn't Moffat said that car has been completely stiped and reworked for this season?

I know, I was referring to
''suggest the Mercs (cicely at least) have had the least work done to them over the winter''.
So I added that Moffat also worked on his car

JPs comments about "being paid" and his post qualifying comment about working with "a team he can trust" seem to relate directly back to Warren Scotts bankruptcy last year, when JP's Z list showbiz mates suddenly all took an interest in it on twitter..
is it fair to say Jason is owed money from a business loan to BMR here
