4. Only 1 race all season will have 32 cars starting from the grid
5. Someone who crashes out on Lap 1 of Race 1 will crash out at the same spot in Race 30 (lap unspecified)
1. So close (0.001 at Silverstone)
2. Close again (1,1,5 with Cole on pole at Snet, 1,1,4 at Knock, 1,1,3 at Rock) but there were calls for BoP changes (probably by Collard)
3. No, just no
4. 6 races had 32 cars start (8 if including 1st start for red flag races)
5. Well Turkington retired in R30 but on the wrong straight

1. Depends if you mean all weekend or just raceday? And also if you just mean rain/wet track or if cars need to be on wets

4. Nope, only two (Moffat and Cole)

5. I think maybe Croft and Snetterton were the only ones?

4 - Vauxhall only claim 2 podiums all season, both through Chilton, as Proctor doesn't score a single top 6, and converts reverse grid pole into the turn 3 gravel trap (circuit unspecified)
5 - As per last year; no rain all season, before Silverstone and Brands Hatch GP are drenched
1 - I mean, it could have happened, but it didn't
2 - Oh dear, I got the right car but that's a poor showing
3 - Again, oh dear. If I swapped Plato and Sutton around it would be more accurate
4 - Wow they actually got 2 podiums - one through Huff though, whilst Proctor scores 6th place in round 28 and never claims a reverse grid pole...
5 - Donington Park Race 3, whilst Silverstone was nice and dry (as was Brands GP R2)...

So that equates to 0.25/5 by my calculations...

4. Mat Jackson will be the only Motorbase driver to get a podium & finish in the championship top ten.
5. There will be a record number of podium finishers this year, but not a record number of winners.
1. No - Newsham did, but Proctor was the surprise of the season for me.
2. Hmmm, you could argue this one, but think he certainly showed what he could do this year.
3. Yes. Very much so but JP just blamed the car and everything else.
4. Yes, by a country mile, though Davenport was improving before his shunt & Butcher did a great job stepping in mid season.
5. 17 different podium finishers by my count, but not sure if that was more than last year, though there were more winners, so I failed on that one!

So 2 maybe 3 depending on how you rate the most improved driver. Not bad but could do better! 😊

Well in that case Donington and Brands Hatch, not sure about Silverstone, although it rained, everyone stayed on slicks

4. One of the "rookies" will win 2 races at one meeting.
5. Someone will end up in the right-hand barrier on the exit of Robert's at the end of lap 1 of race 1 at Donington.
1. Nope
2. Nope
3. Nope (not yet, anyway!)
4. Nope, unless Sutton counts as a rookie
5. Nope, so far as I can recall

What a great set they were!
