David Leslie, Hamish Irvine , Guy Povey, Dave Allan, Richard Meins, Mark Smith. Lots of BTCC drivers past and present.

Did you notice who was driving car 78, the BMW 330d? Jeremy Clarkson, James May, Richard Hammond and The Stig.

Tim Sugden is there too. Great to see Hamish Irvine still active, I can still remember his Independents' Cup victory in his Peugeot 405 in 1995.

Any time May loses the Stig can make up.

I'd expect May to be the quickest of the three presenters in an enduro.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

May's had driver training from Jackie Stewart

Fiona is only doing it if she has found some team-mates as there weren't enough drivers for the car last weekend.

Sugden's had a late call up to the Scuderia Ecosse Ferrari in the FIA GTs at Adria, so might not be there. Not until the early hours of Sunday morning anyway!

I didn't know Hamish was still competing, the last I saw of him, was on Deals On Wheels where a woman took her Citroen BX to his scrapyard. :

Fiona isn't now racing her own MG ZR as she was let down by some drivers late on and wasn't able to find enough replacements but she has switched to one of the Daniels Motorsport Honda Civic type Rs. (Number 68, Green with Red Bumpers.)

I was listening to Top gear's radio transmissions last night during night Qualifying, very funny;

Pit: James where are you at the moment?
James May: You keep talking to me on that difficult corner and I keep COCKING IT UP!

and this one;

Jeremy Clarkson: BAD!
PIt: Pardon, are you okay?
Silence
Pit: Where are you Jeremy?
JC: I'm on the ***** track. Where do you think I'd be?!!
Pit: Where on the track are you?
JC. I'm coming past the pits, it's a BMW with a big ***** Wing on it. You can't miss it!

Right at the end

James May: I think i've broken it.
Pit: what have you broken?
James: Everything, it's stopped working.
Pit: Whats it doing?
James: I think the gearbox has gone, its making a great big clonking noise.

[Captain VXR]

Lol I hope they're put on the program

[m0rk]

Pit: Where are you Jeremy?
JC: I'm on the ***** track. Where do you think I'd be?!!

lmfao, that's the kind of stuff that makes for comedy genius
