ah here, you gotta give the thread a proper title.

Edit: thread title updated, thanks! It doesn't hurt my eyes anymore

That's a very strong driver line-up for BMR

Great driver lineup!
Great chance for Aron to shine against them too!

ITV4 will have the full race schedule on TV live all day of you have access to it. They did last year anyway. If not available on your TV, try the FilmOn website.

I had ITV4 with upc and any time it was on "programme not available in your region". Recently changed to sky so hopefully be able to see it there if not I'll try one of the apps. Thanks

I've FTA and have no issue watching it.

UPC have "notions" about rights to sports events and block the hell out of anything on ITV4.

You'll be grand on Sky.

Aron qualified 2nd!
All the chances in the world for the perfect start to the season!

Passat is looking fast!

Sterling Archer

Well that was a great days action in all races... anyone that was there definitely got more than there's money worth

True Shane, great racing and great drive by smith in the final race.
3rd in the championship one point behind the leaders!

Robbo

From watching the first 2 rounds, there's any of 5 or 6 who can take this championship. Consistently scoring points (even 6th-10th finishes) are what's going to be key. The combo of increased ballast and the bogey tyre means you're going to have one race per weekend that's just pure damage limitation.

I'd say on pure pace, the VW is the fastest car and Smith was desperately unlucky in Race 3 at Donnington.

If I was placing a bet though, I'd go for Neal. He's found form again and is wily enough to survive the races where a top 6 isn't on.

Really hope I remember to watch most of this. The racing really is second to none.

Sterling Archer

It really is great racing.. and even in the support races.. possibly the most entertaining free 6 hours ever

The auld excitements building, gettin to watch my first full race day of the season as I have been stuck in work the last few weekends! Even watched the formula E racing earlier!

YbFocus

Good damn it it couldn't have gone worse

Robbo

I've been quite disappointed with how Priaulx has gone this season given his pedigree. The Brands pole points to obvious pace but he's been struggling with the close racing.
