Strip-down and rebuild after each will be standard practice for most teams. Nothing unusual here.

Leaving nothing to chance. For a btcc team, taking the engine out is not a major task (comparatively speaking), so this work will just allow them to check everything over.

Thanks, didn't think the rebuild between races would go that far. In that case it's just a nice picture of the internals of a NGTC car.

I think it goes to demonstrate how seriously contested the BTCC is. Dynamics and WSR check and double check everything between meets. Not so sure if the lesser funded teams can go this far, but the big boys do.

I think we can arrange some weather, I'll have a word with Michael Fish.

Neate needs to lose his drive and be banned from btcc for good. Nut case is too light of a phrase. No idea what any company sees in him to want to spend their money on sponsoring him.

You'll probably find Neate brings no sponsorship apart from his own companies.

BTCC qualifying will be at 15.10 on Saturday, and the races will be live on Sunday and will be on ITV2 again.

French Open Tennis on ITV4

EDIT: Tennis final is in 2 weeks time so Croft is likely to be on ITV2 as well. And World Cup of Darts is on the same weekend as Brands, so expect the same then

The tennis final will likely be on the main channel, so Croft should be on ITV4.

And the World Cup of Darts is not only a week ahead of Brands Hatch, but it's also on Sky, not ITV.

Aye. And we've yet to visit Croft, known for it's tropical temperatures. Butcher, Tingram or Camm could yet come out on top by season end.
