Simon, I think the answer is historic!

Terry is, I believe, in a course car at Donington! Must speak to John about that!

Stop being rude about BMWs - they stayed true to the front engine, rear wheel drive concept when practically everyone else went to horrible understeering FWD, the very same companies who now complain that BMW have an unfair advantage because they get better traction off the line!!

And, unless someone can justify me leaving this thread here, it will shortly be consigned to Armchair!

I will be at home with my bad leg up on the sofa watching V de V I guess! My physio told me yesterday that Snett 3 Hour is a non runner by 2 weeks... so I need cheering up! So moral is dont go skiing in the racing season!

well if any of you watched it you will probably agree it only showed how good by comparison the GT Racer series was!!! I ended up watching racing at Newbury on Channel 4 half way through instead as it was dire....
however BTCC from Rockingham was far from that - great racing
