Steel Wheels should be qualifying in the top 10 on the gridSteel Wheels should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
On a completetly different topic, I've seen a picture of Warren Scott stood by his 'new' VW. Does anyone know if this is the 3rd Passat or is it a promo shot of him stood by either Menu's or Smith's car with Scotts no on it?

I know they said he would be switching to a Passat 'later in the season' but they didn't say when. Does anyone know how the build is going on this?

something in the drivers group photo, Rob Austin got a 1st row seat which means he is now an important part of the paddock cos front row is reserved for the most important drivers

Yes, this was a major news item at the media day and I'm surprised Autosport etc... didn't pick up on it. Rob Austin was officially announced as 'an important driver' and would be allowed to take a front row position for all group photos that took place on that day. An incredible and much sought after accolade I'm sure you'll agree.

other small surprise in group photo

Rob Holland in 2nd row despite being just a backmarker so far in his few BTCC outings while Dan Welsh a BTCC veteran just last row

I guess it's because Rob Holland has a higher media profile being an american driver and his team have some reputation in GT Racing . Personally I would have put Dan Welsh in 2nd row and Clark in 3rd one

also surprised how tall Olie Jackson is , wonder how he compares to Matt Neal

The Wookie is a big lad. But not as big as he used to be width wise, he's lost a lot of weight over the winter.

If it's the same Warren Scott photo as I have just seen it is one from last season. He has old overalls on and Frank Wrathall's name is above the neighbouring garage.

Regarding the front row of the group photo, it's not ordered by some randomly chosen "importance", it's actually simple and it's the same order they did the driver interview groups in the media session.

1st group - the champions, middle of front row
2nd group - race winners, rest of front row

The rest of the drivers were also grouped for the interviews and I would imagine they used the same groups for the rest of the drivers in the photo.

Of course when the photo's were taken Mat Jackson hadn't been confirmed, otherwise he would have been on the front row.

Sorry, didn't make it clear - race winners from last year.

edit - scratch that, Smith won at the end of 2012. Must be chronological then, plus keeping the numbers in each row even.

It's about how tall they are. The bigger drivers are at the back.

It's got nothing to do with if they are champions or race winners.

Allegedly they are given seats depending on how many cans of Fosters they buy Alan Gow..

Rubbish ! Nothing could be further from the truth. They're given cans of Fosters based on the seats they buy Alan Gow... now where's my can of Fosters gone, I know I left it around here somewhere.
