Nothing wrong with third!!

Third and fifth are fine, but FIRST is what we really need.

Although, I wonder what the conditions were like - fuel loads - weather - were they at full chat? Testing is fine - but WSR maybe deliberately hiding the true performance of the EX260, until required at the end of the month!

And another thing why was only one car used? Even though they have finished the Lola buisness "out of Court" they still need two.

Is this worrying or just gamesmanship?

Can't even use last years model as they have been sold off

This was from the Autosport site:

Anthony Reid was third fastest in his MG ZS, which was last year's car featuring 2002-spec suspension. He shared the machine with Warren Hughes, who was second fastest in the morning session before he handed over the controls.

So I wonder from that statement that the EX260's are not finished yet, while the other EX259 has been handed over to "Team Pussy Kat" Would explain the sharing of cars.

I suspect they will roll out EX260's on Tuesday before the motoring press at Media day! In one way it clever to concetrate on one test car!

Yep that makes sense. Also pretty impressive stuff in last years car - sand bagging the Astra boys - briliant

Is Tuesday at Brands open to the public?

 

[Kelvin Fagan]

Open to public AFAIK,
No access to pits, perhaps but everywhere else shud be open... See the BTCC forums!!
