i agree then it got boring hence me not watching it, then i started watching it this season and,, well im hooked on the bumper to bumber racing, the stuff going if you leave the room you miss something,,,,,,,, unlike formula 1 where you can have a nap in the middle wake up and its still the same thing and overtaking is done on pit stops

Thompson was only ever going to race in "some" BTCC meets this season because he has other commitments. Mainly racing for Lada in WTCC and helping to develop their car and team. He's also racing in a few events in the Danish Touring Car Championship.

Herbert has been testing with Team Dynamics ever since he drove their car at the Goodwood Festival Of Speed, and has been lined up for about a month now to race the remainder of the season for them.

Onslow-Cole raced for AON at a meet earlier in the season when Alan Morrison was unavilable, and ever since then they've only run one car, but they brought him back for this race.

Just look at the lap times!

I didn't look just, but remember they were 4secs a lap quicker at Snetterton.

Nowhere near as exciting as the BTCC races, but by far the best of the support races.

Good old Anthony Reid back on form, 3 laps into his return and already a fine and 3 points on his licence!

He's lost his licence a few times already. Legend!

Did anyone see his car on the end of lap 3 when he got spun out, the discs were bright red with steam coming from them

Awesome racing today overall
