Chill out.
You mentioned it bystating Gornal would be the least experienced competitor (despite more titles than other JST drivers so he's hardly a no hoper) , perhaps don't repeat the point yourself if you don't want a conversation about it

That's not what I meant, I never said he was a no-hoper and I wasn't trying to start a conversation about it. I was just making a comment which I am as entitled to do as every other user. Gornall will be one to watch, that is for sure.

Yes your entitled to make a comment, however making one on a public forum without expecting some sort of response at some stage is a little short sighted of you. Like you, I am entitled to make a comment in return without the need for such a rude response from you! Its unfortunate that you have decided to raise issues/points/comments about the JST many times and thats probably why you are getting "sick" hearing responses.

If you want a monologue where you can make comments without anyone responding because you get sick of them doing so, perhaps a public forum isn't the best place to be making them.

Anyway did anyone get to Brands to see the first on track BTCC testing this year? Whilst only Osborne and Gornall on track, it was great to see and hear the videos of car back out.

Looks like another motorbase announcement today! They've just posted the polar bear gif on twitter again

Robin Marriott · 18 Feb 2020, 10:11 (Ref:3958182)

Does anyone know what the date for the tyre test at Snetterton is this year?

It would have been a good day to be at Brands - there was a Peugeot 908 out testing as well.

July at some point as it's just been announced on the btcc website that there will be a car joining it running the new hybrid system

Sounds interesting...

(Post #501, would have wanted to a positive way to mark my 500th but that's life!)

I'd be surprised if it was ready to announce now, they don't tend to confirm the date publicly now until a week or so before.

Now it is Goodyear I assume it still stands? Unsure.

Just seen the BTCC article about the hybrid. Good to see the test is continuing.

Hopefully it’ll be 14th and 15th of July as I’m off work that week!

crmalcolm · 18 Feb 2020, 10:38 (Ref:3958192)

The Goodyear tyre test days are 6th and 7th July at Snetterton.

The dates of the test were released to the public 7th Nov (if not earlier).

I must've missed that, was it on the BTCC webpage?

I recall that the date after which testing is 'free' is a regulation allowing cars to run in TCT.
Also note that, at the time of publication, the pre-season test was TBA.

The extra day of testing may be relevant if the Focus is a Mk.4, and will be used by Excelr8.

That's what I'm referring to.
Regulation 6.11.1.a.i
Current spec cars are free to 'test' from the end of R30 until 25th March '20.

Front page of tomorrow’s Motorsport News has an article on the new Motorbase Focus....looks like the mk4.

Going to call it now that motorbase will be a manufacturer team in 2020.
