Gonna be a fun year I think, will be interesting to see if the Honda's get any advantage now that they are allowed to use VTEC.....
 
If Honda are using the VTEC, the noise trackside should be pretty nice.


Also, is it me or does the lineup of drivers this season make you wonder if this season could be one the closest and best ever?
 
Sorry to go back to old posts, but Moffat is way out of his depth, he may have competed in numerous championships, but firstly Scottish fiesta pound round Knockhill mainly, with it being his home track not surprising at all he did well, but in the most competitive junior championship - Ginetta Juniors, he was shockingly off the pace!!

You are aware that last year was the first year he had raced at Knockhill, and he had to get a new car half way through the championship?

He's still able to pound around until his hearts content, yeah so? It's a fiesta, they're all the same, he's was **** in ginettas still, the kid has made a way too big a leap, and he's vastly inexperienced, this showed when he put his touring on the roof at thruxton LOL, he's a over hyped kid that's it!

Only time I ever seen Aiden out was official test days (and I was at Knockhill a lot last year), reason being Knockhill would void thier insurence policy if they did (can do test days as he has a race licence any other time requires a full uk driving licence which he didn't have) and I know that as in the team I was with had a 16 year old racing with us so he had a same issues as Aiden did , and he only did 2 races in a Ginetta.

And yes the fiestas are supposed to be all the same but some of them were stupidly fast in a straight line just ask our driver :lol: luckily he did win the championship by something like 4 points. He was also very ill in the last race day and managed to win 4 out of the 5 races he was entered so clearly a very poor driver (which no one has ever managed to match at Knockhill ever. )
 
Was reading earlier in the thread about the Frank Wrathel incident.. Turns out he won't be out of prison for another 21 months... And even when he's out - he won't be able to return to racing because he's been disqualified from driving for 4 years and you must have a drivers license (as well as a Race License) in order to race in BTCC.

So, don't expect to see him back in BTCC for a good few years (or probably never at all as TOCA wouldn't let him in due to the bad publicity they'd get for letting a criminal take part).

I apologise, didn't realise he was really ill!

You can still have a race license if you've been DQ it's down to the MSA to decide if they will allow it or not.

I thought it was TOCA (not Furi) that sorts all this out?
Or higher up, the FIA?

Still, I doubt he'll return because spectators would possibly try to attack the bloke for his crimes. Prisoners who have caused death or who have raped someone or whatever must be kept away from other people in the prison because of the possibility of them being attacked by people who've committed more minor offenses.

Nah it's run by the msa.

I'm not sure I mean look at Vic Lee.
 
Looks like it will buff out

Who at Ciceley Racing said "Well that's our nice new car finished, lets present it using photo's taken on a potato".

The car does look great though.
 
I like the look of that. Probably going to be one of the best looking cars on the grid.

They're all YouTube screenshots. I believe HQ images are being released at the minute.
 
Battered the credit card by buying race day tickets for both Brands Hatch rounds and weekend tickets for Oulton Park. I've never been to Oulton before so that fulfils my promise to myself left over from last year to visit a circuit I'd not been to before.

Also considering going to Thruxton again...
