To add to it all, my first time in the paddock for Brands for BTCC, I like it better than the other paddocks, the views out the back of the track are fantastic! Must admit though, it seemed a little subdued compared to other media days. Even before the rain came.

You mean the black vents on the bonnet - Taylor-Smith and Watson had them, Doble didn't. I didn't spot it at the time but it's not that obvious unless you are looking for something.

I'm sure there were some testing pictures a while back of the cars in plain white where they had both designs in use

As predicted two weeks ago - BTCC live on ITV4 from 10.45 until 18.30 on Sunday 23rd.

Michael Crees teasing some “exciting news”. Could it be a drive in the BTCC and our first driver drop out of the year?!?!

I'd say it's probably an expansion of his racing programme, perhaps doing some European stuff?

I’m going to guess a PMR drive to cover a driver absence for Donington.

Is this the first time in about a decade there’s no RCIB sponsorship on the grid?

I think that was last year - they sponsored the Infinitis in 2021, but didn't stay on in 2022 or move over to the CUPRAs.

Nope. Look on the Entry List from the GT4 European Series.

Ah yes you’re right - I thought they were still just on the bonnets of the Infiniti but that was 2021.

Their sister company Auto Aid is still involved.

Aside from Crees, its great to see so many TOCA package graduates from the past few years racing in GT4 Europe this year: Ruben Del Sarte, Jamie Day, Tom Edgar, Alex Denning, Bailey Voisin, Josh Rattican, and Tom Emson

The entry list was published at least two days before Crees's twitter post. Perhaps he is 'hyping' something else?

He’s probably just not expecting most people to trawl the internet for an entry list pdf.

The shakedowns at nominated venues pre-race meetings. Are they still allowed before events that have a Friday shakedown? Is there one for Donington this weekend at the track?
Was just thinking it's going to be busy for HARD with four cars that haven't turned a wheel and two with a couple of laps at Brands.

Aron Taylor-Smith's wife is due to give birth this weekend... maybe Crees is standing by just in case Aron has to dash back to Ireland?
