I was just thinking.... I wonder how many seasons we have to take part in to be classed as a veteran? I've been in the BTCC for a little while now and have had my fair share of silverware but I don't class myself as a BTCC vet yet.

You and Street have done a fair stint too. It's awesome to have guys that stick around for several seasons, it gives us all a chance to get to know each other a little I guess; Although to be honest I don't know much about anyone, we should have a driver Q&A session.

 

[rolo912011]

Integras definitely the best season so far, although BTCC-7 ran it close.

I'd say get more than 60 race finishes under your belt and that'd make you a veteran, since that puts you in the Top 10 overall in finishes of all the drivers (well, 9, but near enough).

I do like the fact there's a solid core here 👍 Driver Q&A's sound good to me, although let's not snoop into too much detail!

Season 7 was damn good. 👍

The Integra's were okay too, but I find the one-makes a bit boring if I'm honest. I like the variety of cars on the track, seeing the strengths and weaknesses and I enjoy the challenge of tuning the car to drive how I would like it too.

A one-make with tuning would possibly be fun, or maybe even a two-make.

How many finishes have I had now? I'll have to look at the stats on the previous season.

I'm not afraid of a few questions and if asked something a bit too personal I'll just lie.....

 

[rolo912011]

78 👍

I'll draw up a Q&A using me as a template shall I?

 

[True-blue-8]

i love this series. BTCC-7 was close but not as varied as integras.
Well i guess i can do Q&A for the media thread, and for suggesting it ian, your first XD

Most of the hardest drivers i've raced against came from here.

 

[True-blue-8]

or you can do it rolo mate lol

 

[Ian_83]

78 👍

I didn't think that it was that many. I need to get out more.

Yeah do a template, it doesn't have to be answered if a person feels that a question is too personal for any reason....just some basics like, first name, age, location, type of job, gaming history, income, bank account number, etc.....

Doing psychology in my A-levels rolo, but expect my syllabus is different to what you did.

I think I did AQA Psychology at A-Level, and yeah it was a while back, 2007-09. I think loads of A-Levels have changed since then. If you've learned about Loftus & Palmer, how memory works and the major psychological perspectives (biological, psychodynamic etc), then you're probably on the right lines

 

[True-blue-8]

i studied so hard for them, knew every study. At the end of the paper i had 10 minutes left, panicked, and forgot studies, so i made some up in the spot
