    Snetterton testing

    Two day session for the BTCC teams kicking off tomorrow (24th) - anyone heading down? Not sure how many cars there will be out on track, but presumably all the big teams at least.
    Is it a bit strange that there's a test session at Snetterton just a few weeks before the race day there?

    I believe it is an official Dunlop tyre test,so most off the big players will be there.

    Snett falls into a similar category as thruxton as it is such a high speed circuit.
    so dunlop have deemed to do an official tyre test, everybody entered is allowed to test, so no advantage can be gained over other teams, as per testing rules.

    Will Xero be there? The website seems to suggest your planning to run the cars alongside the rest of the field soon.
    2nd place in the big quizz challenge!

    The test session is only open to registered entries.

    So if Xero have not registered.. they won't be there!

    Do we know for sure they haven't registered yet? Tho I guess you'd expect th team to have announced their entry already if that was the case.

    I thought YOU were 99% certain that Xero will not be out this year?

    So far so good. According to Live Timing on TSL Jase and Turner are top two in Test Session 2.

    Jase top with 1:12.100 and Turner second with 1:12.298 but Gio finished in third on 1:12.641.

    In fact it was a SEAT 1-2 in the first session with DT besting Jase.

    Do I dare to dream?
