Apparently the three extra cars on top of their regular BGT entries are part of AF's preparation for the Spa 24 hours- I guess so some of their gentleman amateurs can get some extra track time at Spa before the 24.

Though according to the driver pairings named in Autosport, they've got a couple of fairly serious names sharing the Perrodo and Mallegol cars....

Francois Perrodo/Emmanuel Collard
Yannick Mallegol/Toni Vilander
Filipe Barreiros/Francisco Guedes

Can anyone point me to a schedule for this weekend? I'm considering going to Francorchamps, but have to know what else is racing to make it worth my while.

A specification of Ginetta which runs on the ToCA/BTCC support package, I think it's (in terms of pace) between Juniors and GT4.

Ecurie Ecosse claimed 2 poles from 2 yesterday.

As I type, the pit-stop phase of race 1 is underway...

Minshaw/Keen and Attard/Sims claimed the 2 wins respectively, whilst Jeff Smith and Chris Hoy got their first BGT podiums today.

50 days until the next race at Brands.

Attard has a huge lead in the standings now:

After Rds7-8, Spa-Francorchamps:

GT3
1 - Marco Attard - 130.5
2 - Alexander Sims - 111.5
3 - Andrew Howard/Jonny Adam - 107
4 - Ahmad Al Harthy/Michael Caine - 93
5 - Jon Minshaw/Phil Keene - 81
6 - Gary Eastwood - 58.5
7 - Pasin Lathouras - 53
8 - Paul White/Tom Onslow-Cole - 44.5
9 - Derek Johnston/Luke Hines - 38.5
10 - Richard Lyons - 38

GT4
1 - Ross Wylie/Jake Giddings - 155
2 - Andrew Jarman/Devon Modell - 136
3 - Adrian Barwick/Bradley Ellis - 108.5
4 - Oz Yusuf/Gavin Kershaw - 94
5 - Aleksander Schjerpen/Morten Dons - 78

So both classes have a clear leader, but both could still lose it - it was only after Snetterton that I was saying how Andrew Howard and Jonny Adam had a clear lead...

I may have read it wrong but it sounds like it may be the end of Trackspeed as a GT team at the end of the season from the DSC article too.

IIRC, it said that Trackspeed's team manager is leaving at the end of the year? Let's hope it's just a personnel change rather than the beginning of the end of the team.

The DSC article does imply that the Porsche really isn't competitive in British GT at present, and I get the impression that David Ashburn is very much a Porsche man, so perhaps rather than being off the pace or changing cars, I guess he could close the doors , bearing in mind he seems to have finally called it a day on his own career as a driver (although I'm half-expecting an announcement now that he'll be back in the former Hughes/Firth car for the rest of the season!)

The two are unrelated. Keith is just looking for a new challenge. Trackspeed will continue, to the best of my knowledge.

And what a surprise... Not!

David Ashburn has come out of retirement again for the last two rounds of the season and will drive with Nick Tandy.

Bearing in mind some of his actions last year at Silverstone & Brands, is this a good idea?

The Beechdean Aston has won the last 2 races here and a win would really do Andrew Howard and Jonny Adam's title hopes improve, especially if Attard/Sims do the impossible and actually have a bad day...

...there have been a few driver/car changes. Notably, GP3 and sportscar ace Jann Mardenborough will partner Chris Hoy in the Nissan, whilst John McCullagh has joined Matt Bell in the UA Audi. Jody Firth and Warren Hughes will drive a third 888 BMW, Matt Griffin will partner Pasin Lathouras, and obviously the mighty David Ashburn has been joined by the faster Nick Tandy at Trackspeed.

Tom Sharp and Colin White have switched to the no.40 MP Motorsport Aston Martin following 2 huge accidents in successive races due to their Ginetta's mechanical failures.

In GT4, Declan Jones has defected to Geoff Steel Racing in a BMW M3 GT4, alongside Jeff Wyatt, the reigning GT Cup champion.

I believe that's it. For those interested, I did post the points standings on here after Spa, but if in doubt, check the website.

BRDC F4 is on the support bill!

I couldn't find one either & whilst I'm here what is special about the BRDC F4? It looks like a revamped Formula Palmer?
How many cars entered for the F3 race? It's been looking a bit under subscribed - which is a real shame.

All in all the British GT website is a bit crap isn't it? The 'Teams' and 'Drivers' sections are particularly useless - I want to know who / what is racing at a particular event, not who / what might be racing or may once have raced in the Championship.

That's about the scale of it.

F3 will be lucky to be in double figures I think - unless it gets a serious overhaul it looks like a championship in its final death throes.
