    Why would you bother critisizing the mid-grid privateers because they are the ones who stop the BTCC becoming Formula 1 in the way the it becomes to expensive for a Privateer team like Super Aguri for instance to get enough funds to compete.

    Just as i question, when Chris Stockton was running 7th at Croft last year, how many of you felt gutted for him after he went off?

    If the BTCC got rid of those "Back-Markers" there would be no underdogs for the crowds to cheer on.
    Please ignore ALL of the above....

    Or even Andrew Jordan at Thruxton last week?

    Have you seen the new Ladaa touring car that is supposed to be entering the WTCC?

    :P Thats why i said it, it's as aero dynamic as a breeze block, the Vectra looks sleek in comparison, and the Leon looks pretty in comparison!

    he was holding his own in race 2 until the curse of tower caught him out. hope the damage wasnt too bad and can get out again. wouldnt blame him if he missed snett due to the travel but hope he is out at Knockhill. C'mon scottish business chuck Mickey a few quid
    2009, Jonathan Adam BTCC, marshal at Knockhill Orange dont be seen trackside without it

    just to correct you but it wasn't the curse of tower - it was the many times repaired gear box that threw him off
    I've got friends racing all over the world.... good luck to you all.

    Unfortunately the gears were once again the problem and Mickys Dad worked like a trooper to get him back out for race 3 but there just wasnt enough time.Still, Micky enjoyed the weekend and we, again ,enjoyed working alongside the guys.We were well chuffed with 9th.Micky has the capability to be up there.C,mon sponsors!
