Thanks for the info Hazard. Are you going? If so come and see me in the J Team garage.
I think there will be so much to talk about after Brands.
Will it be a huge train for the first race into turn 1 or will somthing go off?

I think it will depend a bit on how they start. On the review-dvd's you can sometime see the cars start really close together, and sometimes more apart. I always wonder how it goes well if they start so close together...

I'm having trouble finding anyone to support. I still remember Neal from his ST independent days and he seems like a good enough bloke, he's the reigning champion though and I usually cheer for the underdog. Though with Dynamics building their own car, I suppose i can cheer a bit for them.
Oh well, I think this will be the ones I'll cheer for this season:
Matt Neal after all
Motorbase Preformance - go Howell & Allison!
Well, thow in the Alfas there too and there you have it!

Contrasting yourself, Jimmy, I have no doubts who my support goes to!
Just look at my avatar. Hoping for a repeat of last year's trio of win's for Seat, and being there in person they probably won't.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Tom Onslow-Cole (or "The OC") does in his first BTCC race.
It's been a long time but... it's back!
Hopefully i can get to Brands this Sunday.

Can't wait, I've been suffering withdrawal since Silverstone!
I'll be supporting Rick Kerry - I always like to see someone trying something new and different, so best of luck to Rick  
I do quite like the Civic too though, and the BMW's, and the - well you get the picture, I just can't wait to get there on Saturday 
Support programme looks strong too, I'm really looking forward to the new Seats and Clios so it should be a good couple of days.

I know the feeling. As a long time Vauxhall supporter, when 2001 came along and Vauxhall won 24 races on the trot - I made the effort to celebrate their victory at Brands in person.
Felt a bit jinxed when Reid became the first non-Vauxhall winner of the season! At least Bennett won the second race - though I wanted Muller to take the title

Dynamics look to be behind the 8-ball so far - Shedden barely did any running yesterday due to technical problems. In theory teams like Motorbase and Jackson could start next season with an advantage over them - SEAT,Vauxhall and WSR certainly do. It's a big field and there should be plenty of action - I just hope the BTC-spec cars aren't too fast.

Behind the 8-ball? Bit James Allen-esque that remark there, Boots.

Would that be one of those "Mystic 8-balls"?
All signs point to 'yes'

Free Practice 1 Red Flagged with 46 seconds to go.. So that'll be the end of that.
Don't know why either.
Jordan leads with Chilton and Giovanardi 0.089 and 0.119 seconds slower respectively.
Matt Neal down in 8th.

Top 23 within 2 seconds of the leader; then it's another 2 sec back to the group of Leggate, Pocklington and Kerry. Jones looking promising in 6th.
