If we're continuing down the well-known drivers route, then I'll nominate Colin McRae . A guest drive at Knockhill 1992 in a Prodrive BMW, finished a decent eighth in race 1 before being disqualified in Race 2 for an avoidable collision with Matt Neal. Not sure about Roland Ratzenberger - he definit...

Martin Johnson (09-10, Best finish 9th) Spent two seasons driving for his father's team in a, by that time, ancient Vauxhall Astra Coupe, occasionally managing to drag the car into the top 10, most memorably passing Giovanardi for the last points position at the end of Rockingham 2009. Johnny Herbe...

I'll add a few more notables to the list: Hyla Breese - Best finish 21st. Possibly the unluckiest driver ever in the BTCC. Spent the second half of 2002 in a Team B&Q Accord in the Production Class, but only managed to start three races. Had so many engine changes, he became the only driver in B...

I'd be tempted to give it to KV. Qualifying wasn't great, and both drivers were almost entirely anonymous in the race.

What if Schumacher had managed to take out Villeneuve's car at the 1997 European GP? He still would've been DSQed from the championship and Villeneuve still would've won. Where are you going with this? I'm actually not sure of that. Disqualifying the runner-up was easa, Schumacher and the Ferrari w...

I considered making my British driver from Sealand, but I thought it wouldn't be allowed and that I'd end up looking silly. Well, having a team based on Réunion is slightly more serious than Sealand so I hope I'm okay, although there is a chance I'll have to change their nationality to French. My j...

Its literally only occurred to me now, but... What with the current political climate over in Korea, is there any chance of the grand prix being called off, or is it too far into the future for any decision to be made? I would say it's unlikely to be called off, unless, between now and then, the si...

Happy with Howell in 11th: That's his second best result this year, but annoyed about that suspension failure, as that's our first retirement since Thruxton, and drops us to 9th in the teams, and last in the highly-important battle for sixth...

Mercedes heavily discourage Liqui Target from signing Bertrand Baguette. He is little known and has no experience of racing proper racing cars. We are doing badly, but we don't want to bring the sport into disrepute! We would ask Liqui Target to be mindful that, after the fifth race of the season, M...

Meh. Small reliability upgrade for Proton please.

Pines racing will take a small Chassis upgrade.

Given that I'm running two different cars, if I upgrade, will it affect both of them, or will I have to upgrade individually?

Aero Kings will have Dunlop with BBS.

Does Wrathall have some sort of evil twin brother aka Sniff Petrol's theory about Maldonado? 'Cos I'm fairly sure it can't have been him driving that car in Race 2. Ah well, at least he apologised to Austin and did look genuinely mortified. Really hope Austin can get the car repaired for Donington. ...

Shame for Turkington and Goff (and Wrathall): Hope they can repair those cars in time for tomorrow.

According to Wikipedia (I can't find anywhere else that has as detailed account of the incident, but see no reason to doubt it), in the 1951 Belgian GP Alfa Romeo tested a new form of suspension on Fangio's car, which required different wheel hubs to the standard car to accommodate the brake drums. ...

hmm, starting pretty far back, course I picked the one true rejectful car for this, unlike most of you Not sure that you have the only rejectful car: The Metro 6R4 wasn't great, but it at least scored a WRC podium, which is more than could be said for the RS200, which was just as bad, if not worse....

The worrying thing is that Tarquini has said that he thinks the rain actually lessened the Honda's performance deficit compared to the Chevrolet. I hope he's wrong, otherwise the season will probably be a write-off. From what I saw MacDowall doesn't appear to have changed much since his BTCC days: h...
