BTCC rounds 22, 23 and 24 @ Rockingham
Thought it was time we had a thread for Rockingham... is that a RED CHEVROLET on the front of the programme? http://www.btcc.net/html/generalnews_detail.php?id=3143

apologies, they are indeed tickets! But still, I can't think of any other red-liveried Cruze (not one that looks quite like that!) so perhaps it is Mr Girling's car? Watch this space!

Last I read he was 'likely' to appear at Silverstone or Brands - but who knows? Except him and Techspeed, of course. But you know what I mean. Would be nice if you're right.

You know how the NGTC drivers were complaining about the power of S2000 cars at Knockhill..? Expect the theme to be S2000 drivers talking 18inches at Rockingham...

More strange goings on at Team Hard then. We can assume Gilham never had the funds for the season in this case?

Or using the money that would have been spent running the Civic himself to fund the 2013 NGTC car? Lots of possibilities which don't necessarily mean one particular conclusion. |

Interesting that the story says that Robb Holland is missing Rockingham due to clashing commitments. I thought he originally only intended to do Snetterton and Knockhill anyhow.

Noticed that F1 at Singapore and Rockingham clash. It's a live BBC race too.
Given the ridiculous driving standards in the BTCC at the moment, and the dreadful Knockhill round (boring racing with typical daft contact for light comedic relief) think I'll give this one a miss. |

I was planning on going to Rockingham, but am in two minds about it now. Its also a track which is a nightmare for photography, which for me is a real turn off.

That was the original plan, however he said on TTT that he was trying to get the funding together to finish the season.

That's a shame for Welch Motorsport. With the exception of Dynojet and Tony Hughes who are reasonably well-funded, these NGTC cars aren't exactly showing their cost-effectiveness for the small privateers at the moment.

Tony Gilham enquired after Knockhill about paying for a one off drive at ES Racing.
Chris James was to stand down if this happened. |

I think I may skip the Rockingham rounds. I was thinking of attending, but I may go to the Britcar @ Silverstone instead.

No Liam Griffin this weekend either, which I guess is who Aunt Sally was referring to.

Griffin along with Neate, James are an absolute joke and deserve no place on the grid.
