Jaysus that was some rain in the last race at Rockingham, balls of steel were required on the oval, did you see the cars stepping out on the standing water

Yep.
I wouldn't have fancied driving at motorway speeds in that , let alone trying to race at a higher speed

Still, it was one of the best rounds I've ever seen.*

I'll be going to the final round at Brands, but that's waaaaaay in the future yet

*When you could actually see through the rain to what was going on that is

Well , Donington was actually pretty dry today.
A few light showers but nothing too annoying and it did liven up the racing at times.

I recorded the races and watched them tonight!

Some very good racing today

Nice to see even race teams get cars with turbo hoses blowing off

Giovanadri ramming his teammate!!!

This is like good old BTCC again!!!

I watched it on tv, first time I've seen any of it this season. It's good to see live coverage of all the races.

There was some great racing.

I'm looking forward to going down to Croft next month

Just watched the highlights on ITV4, happy with the TDI Leons doing so well

Dr Zoidberg · 05-05-2008, 20:48

I'm watching the third race at the mo.

Nice to see the bits I missed at the far side of the track

Dmac1969 · 06-05-2008, 21:23

Yes it was good , watched on TV though , not as good as being there. Ive not been to Donnington for ages , not since they extended the gravel traps at Macleans and done away with the old Supporters Club stand up there!

Dr Zoidberg · 07-05-2008, 09:14

They've spent some money on the circuit over the last couple of years - it looks much nicer than it has done for quite a while
