Might also depend on the championship situation- if the championship battle goes down to the wire at Brands, it could be embarrassing for TOCA if their demonstration NGTC car was to be involved in a...

The 3.5L engine rule wasn't brought in because of the 'upstart Japanese daring to win' Le Mans, and the rotary engine certainly wasn't banned as a result of that win- unless Bernie Ecclestone is...

Great find- that brings back a lot of memories

That's the best news I've seen in Autosport for ages!

I think the magazine version of Autosport mentioned safety improvements- changes to barriers etc, which would normally be done over the course...

What sounds better to a prospective sponsor?

'We were champions in 2009, but budget problems meant we had to miss the first few 2010 meetings, We managed to pull together a deal for the rest of...

Yep, by mid-season I wouldn't be surprised to have seen a few similar scenarios play out- especially if we get some more wet races....

I'd tend to agree with you about the drivethrough

Purple Haze?

Hendrix, surely....

.....and Vettel didn't lose the plot?

Whatever the rights and wrongs of Hamilton's action (and yes, I think he was an idiot for trying to keep the position alongside Vettel after making a mess of...

It's always been like that though- Unless you've got a bunch of manufacturers willing to splash big money on hiring top-line drivers, for the independent teams, it's always going to be a question of...

The fifth FIA European Touring Car Cup is at Braga in Portugal next weekend.

I didn't want it to slip under the radar here, as a couple of BTCC regulars...

That 'glorious past' you're talking about was a pretty brief period in the history of the BTCC where it was punching way above it's weight in terms of manufacturer involvement for a national series-...

I'm no engineer, but I guess it depends on what's actually causing them to be lacking top end speed- if CVR aren't particularly quick through the speed traps, they might still have fairly decent...

My apologies- I certainly didn't intend to say you did. I just don't see this as being a victory for the average punter in any way.

Donington appear to be putting a lot of effort into gin palaces...

Since when has Bernie given a damn about the average punter?

From what I've seen of the Donington plans, apart from the circuit changes and new pits, they're building some new toilets and...

Yes, I've seen it done- guy pours hot water onto a screen to clear the ice, and an existing stonechip spreads into a full-scale crack across about a quarter of the screen....

I have no problem with the idea in theory- I just doubt the ability of the organisers and the British public transport industry to deliver it with any degree of competence....

Bernie hasn't just bought a bus company has he....? LOL

Me neither- I can just imagine the way this is going to play out- for about a fortnight after the GP every F1 forum and the letters page of Autosport will be full of comments from people who parked...

The problem with the major car makers is that F1 is nothing more than a marketing cmapaign for them, and that means they'll have a short attention span. An independent entrant is there because...

Apparently, the road access issues aren't going to be a problem....because everyone's coming by bus...

There's an FIA GT3 series which runs as a support to FIA GT rounds, and a lot of national GT series in Europe are running to GT3 regs- a GT3 car shouldn't take too much work to adapt to SCCA World...

I'd reckon the elevation change will be pretty respectable- as you said, hardly Paddock Hill or Eau Rouge, but fairly steep. From the look of the plan though, it's going to take away quite a lot of...

I don't see any improvements to access at all....

I'm sure we'd all like to see some pics if anyone's got any to show off?

Does anyone know if this was a one-off for Silverstone, or is it likely to be repeated at Brands?

I think that could be it- I'm sure there was some kind of privateer support scheme intended for teams running Mondeos- note that all of the privateer Mondeos in '95 carried identical 'Ford Mondeo'...
