Rockingham weekend thread

[Erki]

Thought I'd make a thread here.

I just saw the timetable on the msttiming.co.uk. Only two days? Ok, I thought, but only BTCC gets free practices? Other classes only get 20-40 minutes qualifying time. Or have they all tested there already so that there's no need for practice? What about someone who hasn't driven around the track at all and has to go out and qualify? I see the timetable at the F3/GT meeting at Donington is also on two days and no practice sessions. Some cost cutting measure this one?

BTCC supports have been out at the Rock today (timings etc. here)

No Rick Kerry or Richard Marsh in practice so far. Murray is there.

Kerry's just done one v slow lap, and Marsh has done about 9 so far

I didn't expect the Leons to be so far up the order, might all change with the second session tho. Sitting here clutching my weekend ticket watching the live timing, couldnt go today as my brother who was supposed to drive me there decided his time was best spent with his girlfriend

SEAT lock out the top 3 in FP1 - Turner on top, followed by Jones, Plato, Gio, Chilton Turkington, Shedden, Jackson, Neal and Murray.

I really thought it would be a 3 series/vauxhall whitewash (due to the shape of the cars really)

even so all the times are very close, so it will be very interesting racing tomorrow - can't wait!

How come Turner's Best Lap is 1:24.948 but his Last Lap is 1:24.225 - even faster.
