That's what I call commitment!

I know it was just a test but it's interesting how close Sutton's time was to Ingram's at Brands Hatch.

I think it's going to be an exciting season but I do share others' concerns that we've lost Dynamics and Shedden this year. It's not a great omen when teams and drivers are increasingly struggling for funding.

The whole changing of the guard thing marches on relentlessly as well. Turkington, Chilton and Jelley are about the only pre-2010 drivers left now that I grew up with, I think.

Good entry, but it could have been even better. If only one or more teams had joined.

As I've posted in the Donington Rd. 1 thread on the forum, it is a strong support series entry. 23 MINI JCWs, 20 F4s, 24 in PCCGB (10 Pro, 11 Pro-Am, 3 Am), and 19 in Sprint Challenge (9 Pro and 10 Am). PCCGB entry could rise to 25, Seb Melrose joined the Porsche test day with Richardson Racing today.

A lot to look forward to!

Nice to hear about Ash Sutton. What a guy

I doubt those guys have heard about the BTCC to be fair

That's a bit unexpected.

Is it just me or does anyone else find it odd that Team Hard's makes no reference to Plowman's long career at Team Dynamics, other than just a very vague "having worked with some of the biggest names in the sport". Is naming a (former) rival team really much of an issue?

Just throwing this out there having absolutely no factual knowledge about the matter, but is it just possible that, like Dynamic, Plowman is only taking a sabbatical whilst they sort themselves out for whatever they intend to do in the future? So in reality, he is being merely hired out or seconded for a fee from Hard, because, after all, he has no Hondas to engineer as they've gone to One (BTC as was).

Getting Barry Plowman is definitely a sign of intent from Team HARD. Wasn't Kevin Berry supposed to be joining the team as well for this season?

AFAIK - Barry is still a director of Team Dynamics, so in reality probably a year of 'keeping his eye in' rather than a departure from Dynamics.

All of the press releases explicitly say 'for 2023'.

It's just the short edits that have already been on ITV's Twitter, nothing special.

Brands Hatch will be on ITV4 from 11.15-18.40 on Sunday 7th May

By my reckoning we'll get 9 live races on TV + maybe highlights of F4 and MINIs during lunch break.

BTCC qualifying is 15.25-16.10 on Saturday 6th May so I would imagine the YouTube stream will start at 15.20 and run until 16.20.

On Sunday 7th May:

09.00 – 09.30 - Pit Lane Walkabout / Autograph Session
10.00 - Legends Cars Elite Cup with JLM - 10 laps
10.25 - ROKiT F4 British Championship - 20 mins
11.00 - The Vertu Motors MINI CHALLENGE - 20 mins
11.35 - BTCC Pit Lane Opens
11.50 - Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship - 24 laps
12.30 - Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain - 34 laps
13.05 – 13.50 - Lunch Break
13.50 - Legends Cars Elite Cup with JLM - 10 laps
14.15 - BTCC Pit Lane Opens
14.30 - Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship - 24 laps
15.10 - ROKiT F4 British Championship - 20 mins
15.45 - The Vertu Motors MINI CHALLENGE - 20 mins
16.20 - Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain - 34 laps
17.00 - BTCC Pit Lane Opens
17.15 - Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship - 24 laps
17.55 - Legends Cars Elite Cup with JLM - 12 laps

Good to have more live coverage, would be harder without it. We should be thankful for ITV4

Should be a good one, I am expecting weather to play a part. Especially on the Sunday.

Looking forward to seeing the support action and what they fit in. But the BTCC will always be the one to look forward. I enjoy the F4 too, we always get action there

The BBC reckon wet weather this weekend for most of southern England, a few periods of rain on Saturday (funnily enough the wettest period is when BTCC qualifying is...) and then "light" rain almost all day on Sunday. Should make the racing interesting this weekend!

Full entry list for this weekend has not been released yet, but the BARC have announced there will be 33 Legends on the grid. Very impressive!

https://www.barc.net/wp-content/uplo...-List-v1.0.pdf

Provisional entry list for this weekend.

No changes in BTCC

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), Sonny Smith appears to have switched from Argenti to JHR.

25 PCCGB - same grid as Donington

32 Legends (although yesterday's BARC press release said 33)
