Testing

t d not test as thay may not even have cars running for media day .. but if thay do it is more than likly tested then

For info ref Matt Jackson:
a good day at oulton today,just getting mileage and used to the car.
Reference comments on another forum regarding my conversations with Matt:basically,his opinion(and he knows)is that a FWD car is a doddle to drive compared to the RWD BMW,and will require a delicate touch to obtain the best results(set-up and driving).
Would have been an easier route to buy a proven TD Integra,but then not eligible to win the Championship.....we know its a long shot,but if you haven't got the correct spec car to do so,that is the first admission of defeat.
David and Goliath,but THATS the challenge!as an underdog,any achievements over and above other well funded teams and drivers will be a bonus and satisfying,we will just do the best we can.
Yes,its an expensive route to take,and I seriously questioned Tony's sanity when queried on a car decision,but I can see his rationale and admire the whole family for having the balls to do it.
Reidy-fan:thanks for the mention on other forum(and the band!),I am going to be pretty busy this year with Matt,Andy,Mel,Tim and 2 x others in clios(tba),its going to be one hell of a great year for the BTCC package.ace.

Mad Monk. Thanks for the info and good luck to you, Matt and the team!

Are you running the team off your own backs or are you getting any sort of help from any of the WTCC teams?
Spotted on the pictures posted on another site, Matt was running #29. Is that his race number for this year?

I thought the car looked really good today!
one of the most stable cars through old hall i've seen.

times weren't the best, but as mad monk says, just getting used to the car.

PDS, everybody was issued a number at sign on today Matt obviously got 29.

Thanks tdb. I didn't realise that! It's unusual to give cars numbers on a general test day?

hence why i said next to no testing ;) , 2 outings is a very small amount of testing for a new car from a top team, however they were in the position that most of the workings of the car were carried over form the Civic.

why try to correct something that i didn't even say?

Well done CPearson...Nice shots of Matt Jackson at Oulton yesterday, as it is only 14miles away I did apply to get over, but sad to say my Public Liability Insurance cover was for only 1 million pounds and not the required 5million, and it was too late to up grade it by the time I found out, but its sorted out now. bye for now, regards

Gareth Howell's been doing his shakedown with Motorbase at Brands.

I think that SEAT looks good in those colours. It will certainly stand out.

Better pictures (mine of course) can be found here!
