The answer to your question Mr Manchester is the site crashed while uploading , i got an error message and was unable to tell if it had been loads for several hours last nite . I thought it may have been of interest to a general population given the amount of people likely to visit Brands on either the saturday or sunday and i wanted to thank a couple of people personally for their help !

Yes it was Alain Menu and Nicola Larini in the Chevys and youre right they are World Touring cars , they were practising launch control most of the day in the pits bouncing off the limiters .
for those of you attending tomorrow , qualifying starts at 9.00am , our first race is 11.45 ( i think ) 2nd race at 3.30 . Britcar will race all day inbetween , well worth watching , some mental machinery out racing !!
Enjoy .

You double posted Tony, probably because the site crashed? and the second post was sent to the sinbin.

Due to the critical errors your first post was sent there aswell so i moved it from the sinbin to the gallery

why ?
because there pictures
