[BTCC] Knockhill, 12th-13th August 2023 - Rounds 19, 20, 21

[Evantra]

On the bright side, we’ve had been excellent battles between Sutton and Cook, and Sutton and Hill (here last year) before so hopefully it’s a good set-up for race day. Of course, I can see Cook and Hill squabbling at letting Sutton escape!

The Honda looks to be dialled in now.

The BMWs are only as fast as TOCA have allowed them to be.

Being repetitive and ruining threads isn’t. You’ve got in early this weekend. It’s boring and disruptive.

My thoughts exactly, Thank god someone has said this…gets very tedious

[S griffin]

Yet another pole for NAPA Racing, but what a session that was. Wet to dry qualis always keep you interested till the end

[Akrapovic]

Decided to pop along to the circuit today. It’s flipping between defo going to rain and maybe going to rain. Standard issue Knockhill.

[GT6]

watching this btcc from home, hoping it will be better than some of this years races, delayed start but weather looks like it will shake things up a bit

[Robshillito1990]

Slicks in the rain no need for wets in btcc either

[Robshillito1990]

What a crap race.

[porsche962fan]

what disastrous strategy from Sutton's crew

Are you kidding? Best race of the season.

Glad it wasn’t red flagged and it was left up to the drivers to pit.

Cook unlucky there.

[Matt K]

Turned from an exciting battle for a win to a rain thriller to a demolition derby. Shame.
Luck's definitely not on Sutton's side, with his performance he should be cruising for the championship whereas he'll face an uphill battle to even get the title at all.

[Robshillito1990]

Uks premier race series? What comedy that is. Absolute joke of a series.

are you kidding? , an AWESOME race for once when things are actually happening instead of processions

[fergus_r]

Such a shame about the rain ruining this one. The first 5 or 6 laps were mega - it was shaping up very nicely.

Granted, it was great to see them being 'allowed' to race once the weather did change.

[SR18]

Completely unfair that the lapped Cars are Not allowed to unlap

Was awesome up to some point, turned into a bit of nightmare sadly.

[Matt K]

What the hell they've done with the lapped cars

[Jon411]

Chaotic race - lines up a great race 2 however potentially watching the Fords and Turkington coming through the field.

Sutton is lucky his car is still in one piece considering how many times he went off.

Don't know what has happened about track limits and whether that rule was left south of the border - Cook and Butcher in particular were totally off track at the chicane onmultiple laps.


EDIT - Ingram DQ now??

Didn't see anything wrong?

[Evantra]

Hmm not sure that restart was too safe with two cars left a couple metres from the track…

Where is the second car? I’m at the chicane and there’s one on the inside. The there’s a perma yellow there and nobody obeyed it at all. Sutton got passed and then made a pass into it.

[Robshillito1990]

And again the bs ride height rule ruins a result.

Moffat after the chicane, DeLeon on the straight up to the hairpin.

[Jon411]

That roller isn't going under Ingram's car - wonder if we are going to have several cars failing the ride height now as Tim just said about the tyre change affecting the ride heights - could be quite a few as no doubt several teams will have been close based on the dry tyres.
