Brands Hatch 6/7 May 23, Rounds 4/5/6
Some of this has been posted elsewhere but we really should have a separate race weekend thread.

Bit surprising that the race thread was created only on Thursday! Quite an unusual silence on the BTCC here, had to double check if the round really is this weekend. But anyway, quite excited for that one!

Believe last year it was a BMW 1-2-3 in qualifying, and then they fell back on a damp race day.

22 MINI JCWs - same field as Donington, minus Sam Smith (get well soon) 20 F4s - largely the same grid as Donington. No Noah Lisle (currently P2 in championship, racing in Spanish F4), Sonny Smith appears to have switched from Argenti to JHR. 25 PCCGB - same grid as Donington 32 Legends |

Looking forward to this weekend. If, as BBC Weather believe, we get some rain on Saturday and Sunday we could get some really mixed up racing

Yes, I expect a bit of rain. This is what I would like to see. Dry/wet R1, wet R2, dry R3.

Brands Indy is one track I really struggle to be enthusiastic about, it’s too short for the amount of cars on the grid. This will be one I record and watch back.

I’m hoping that will have a positive effect.

Too many cars on track, you should have been at the champ car race on 2003! Now that was busy!

I'm actually away from home this weekend so am hoping that the new YouTube channel allows me to watch qualifying & the races after the event at my leisure. (There's no point in me recording the live TV coverage, by the time I get home I'll have learned the results anyway!)

Races are on ITVX. If you have the option to record at home I'd suggest doing that. FFWD/Rewind on ITVX just moves the time slider without updating the picture so you've no idea when to go back to normal play mode. |

John Mickel is on the Legends entry but won't be racing. He had a big accident at Cadwell last month and is still under the MSUK enforced medical timeout. Jack Parker will drive the car instead. |

I wonder if ITV are not going to chop up the live coverage and post it on their 'Races' page of the BTCC section this year? Donington hasn't been posted yet, and they usually have them uploaded within a day or 2.

Yes, I noticed that too that there was no videos on the website the day after Donington

It's good that the whole days worth of coverage is available - but ITVX is appallingly bad. It refused to remember where I'd got up to so started the coverage over again every time I went back to it, when you're fast forwarding through the picture doesn't update so you have to go by the elapsed time at the bottom. You also have to sit through adverts when it first loads - and then because it didn't remember where you were and you have to fast forward it immediately shows you adverts again when you hit play. It's a very poorly implemeted interface.

It is much better having the option of the races split out, don't then have to sit through need-less amounts of adverts while trying to find the right bit you want to watch

Exactly, trying to find the right points in the video to watch individual races, with all the ads in the meantime is just a disaster. That's why I'm not watching replays when I cannot catch it live...

I'd forgotten we are back to option tyres this weekend*. Best option being ones that are black and round. * weather permitting |
