It's confirmed! Daniel Buxton will return to defend his Clio Cup title with the Mardi Gras Motorsport team.

Buxton, Byford, Rivett, Templeman, Kirkaldy.

this is going to be one heck of a handbag war... wahey!

Sato san · 22 Mar 2002, 22:21 (Ref:241999)

yes it is... Think im going to stand at paddock hill bend for the race to start with , then i can see half of them sitting in the gravel when the dust clears.

half of them? you're an optimist then?

Should be 31 cars in total. I'll leave you to make your own bets ...

I'm sticking with my earlier prediction of the guy in the Laguna taking the flag.

Someone will roll at Paddock Hill. It's tradition!!!

10 will make it round the first lap.
now, i know there's not room in the paddock hill gravel trap for all of them, there's plenty of other places round the circuit that will fulfil the same function...

Apparently they've redone the gravel trap at Dingle Dell. Sure it could do with a test run.

If they didn't crash we wouldn't enjoy them as much. As long as no-one's injured though, obviously.

It's now up to 32!

**bella** · 25 Mar 2002, 19:38 (Ref:243847)

then i'm dropping my bet to 9...

Still only means there'll be 30 on the grid. Plenty.

Wrong! Brands GP can start 32 saloon-type cars. It's single-seaters where it comes down to 30.

So ner.

Oh goody! Happy to be wrong on that one.

**bella** · 26 Mar 2002, 21:23 (Ref:244706)

finally! someone's out-sadd-ed (oh dear, making up words again..) paul.
thank you.

but don't the poor sods in 31st and 32nd end up starting somewhere around druids?

redshoes · 26 Mar 2002, 21:30 (Ref:244710)

Could be the safest place to start from. Let the madmen in fromt of you have their fun at Paddock and by the time you get there you could be top ten.

rick vaux · 26 Mar 2002, 21:55 (Ref:244728)

I have a sneaky feeling,oh thats better, that the marshals down at the Graham hill, or bottom bend, will be handing out parking tickets all afternoon.

PS, Two off at 4a. causing mayhem up to druids.Can`t see problems until dingle dell, but saying that, if Sunday is damp,then expect action exiting the indy at Surtees,
Westfield shouldn`t cause too many problems either,( kiss of death )and stirlings isn`t really an overtaking spot,so the clark curve may take the brunt of scrapes there.
But looking back, it will happen anywhere....

Mygale · 1 Apr 2002, 13:01 (Ref:248932)

Not long now til the Clio race. And i'd really like to see Andrew Kilkady win first time out in Clio's .
