Fingers crossed for Turkington but anything can happen (as always).

Or not. They're now racing after the coverage finishes so I hope they show the highlights at some point

And rain too! Looking forward to the super tourers, once they've changed tyres

In a way it's nice not to see people just getting nudged out of the way under braking, but overall I'd still change it back next year

Not a great layout, the only real overtaking point was the hairpin and now they aren't using it! Drivers getting frustrated and the bumper cars are inevitable really

Great line up. This, linked up with the recent Touring Car Legends series on ITV4 (excellent) means I'm more excited about the BTCC this year than the F1!

This could be a brilliant year. I just hope Giovanardi and Menu get some competitive cars, would hate to see them plodding around at the back.

And indeed, there is - Gio's back:

They're about 90% there in making the cars look great, I really like the dropped noses compared to last years cars. It's just a shame the FIA have yet again left a daft loophole in that results in...

If they have removed him it's a very poor decision. He wasn't a natural in front of the camera (or behind the mic) by any means, but his technical insight was one of the most interesting parts of...

So, perhaps the one good change that has come out this week is that drivers can race with a permanent number from now on:

Any news on what Pirtek will be using? Sticking with the hatchback or copying Dynamics?

Also the btcc.net website seems to be down for me at the moment.

A shame really, especially given the coverage and attendance at BTCC events is the best it's been for many years.

Not entirely sure what the Civic Estate is all about, the cars have been getting...

It also seems to be aimed at preventing sporadic entries, trying to make the teams and drivers commit full time. I mean, how many different drivers did Team Hard have last year?? I can only assume...

OK, down to the final races again. Technically five drivers in with a chance of the title with 67 points to play for:

Jordan 378
Neal 344
Shedden 343
Turkington 330
Plato 329

........is it...

Not so much action as poor driving. Maybe the drivers have started a drinking game - every time a Honda driver whinges about boost they have a drink. Can't think of any other excuse for the poor...

Just keep on scrolling. This is the advantage of a forum versus a spoken conversation - if you don't like something don't reply. Just act like it isn't there!

Devil's advocate time: didn't Pirelli offer to change their tyres and the teams voted against it?

I still think one of the Toro Rosso drivers will end up at Red Bull - someone quick but no threat to Vettel as it is blatantly his team. Plus if neither of them get the seat it really begs the...

News just in - Force India won't be appealing the penalty:

Was there today, really enjoyed it and got a little sunburned too!

Awesome lap by Lewis, big cheer from the grandstands when he took pole (and an even bigger one when Vettel failed to beat him!)....

The rumours were true then, this cropped up after one of the GPs early this season and was swiftly denied (no surprise there).

So...

They mentioned briefly that Austin had switched over to the toca supplied engine rather than their own so maybe it's a temporary fix

The old layout including Bridge was better, although they are at least trying to bring the circuit into the 21st century. For all Bernie's whinging I think he at least has a point about Silverstone,...
