AFM/Kerry/Leason update

Courtesy of Rick Kerry who has kindly been updating fans on the btcc.net forum:

Our plan is to run the car at snetterton the week after silverstone if its all ok and the btcc will let us then i will run at brands...

This year has been soooooo frustrating as parts to upgrade are not off the shelf like the petrols.Ive also had so much going on in my personal life..

But things for me and Nick are looking good for next year so if we can make brands it will only help.

Best wishes to Nick and Rick. And if nothing else bring that grid girl back.

Xero, finally?

That's what Xero insider tbd has posted on the forums. Finally running the Lexus, or just prepping one of the classic BTCC cars at the Silverstone legends parade...

Edit: Yup, it's just an old Cavalier in the parade. Damn rumours.

Dumb "Ask Alan Gow" question of the month - August

This months's award goes to BTCCROX (yes, it's all capitals) for the following:

I remember watching British F3 Highlights from Brands Hatch a few weeks ago, and one driver retired from the race, cus he wasn't gonna score any points. I was just asking, if this would be allowed in the BTCC? If not, what penalties will be handed out to the drivers/teams etc?

Gow's reply is remarkably restrained, considering.

Win, win!

Too stingy to shell out for BTCC tickets? Try the following:

• Metro.co.uk is giving away five pairs of Silverstone weekend tickets
  
• crash.net have two pairs
  
• And the Daily Telegraph have some to give away as well.
  

Good luck!
