No mate, thats basically every single race that they have on the track today, so it will be those little seat cupra's, geneta single seaters, porsche cup etc.

Each race is around 30mins, and theres 3 races for the BTCC cars, not sure about the others


BTCC is just starting now and im right its soaking wet, should be good

I went up for a few hours with the missus, saw a few spins through craner and the old hairpin. Not a bad day really, shame about not being able to view on the hill where the spitfire is and the rain, but ok none the less.

Was a good day apart from getting soaked, was stood by the bar on redgate with my ford rs umbrella, was fairly close when the orange bmw hit the wall. saw the enzo and zonda drive into the paddock (nice numberplates on them), didnt see the v plate escos but saw a moonstone 3 door near to the paddock entrance in the morning. Plato was having a good go in the second race
