Rain caused delays.
Super tourers got pushed back, (I didn't watch after they announced that) as BTCC had to be televised as did Golf ? afterwards.
Presumably it was recorded for later televising, but as it wasn't televised it won't be on Iplayer.

Was a good race, shame none of the rs500s were racing in it this time though
There was a mk2 zakspeed escort and old BMW m3 (labbats), john cleland and in his vectra, Patrick watts in 406.

Glad its not just me then.

I even saw a tweet on twitter on the actual itv website and it said be sure to watch the super touring race here............ it gives a link that goes to the itv page ive linked above.

Dont know what their playing at, might go and search youtube for it, surely someone has uploaded it if it exists lol

And here we go, that didnt take long, although this isnt the official tv recording, its from one of the Honda Accord drivers James Dodd.

Great sound

It says June 9 2014 so must be the right one


EDIT, well thats boring after a few mins, all you see is a vectra holding the Accord back lol

Yes that was me last wednesday. Nice pictures, do you have any more?
Was pretty damp most of the day and slippery, until about 4:30pm when it was dry, good traction on striaght acceleration all day though.

sadly not of your sapphire as when i got there around half 3 i didn't see you out on track. If i remember correct you.come back out for a good few laps before the red flag when i took the pics and again afterwards.
i could hear your car coming out of druids and then the turbo as you come off the power around the 150M marker comi.g i to Lodge. It sounded very good and looked like it was going well despite the damp track. Only thing i noticed couple of times was when you blasted back up the start finish straight was a huge puff of blue/grey smoke on a gear change by the foot bridge. I tried to get a pic but bu the time my phone reacted you had nearly gone out of view.

Either way you kept my little boy entertained
