I see the Audi is chasing a Pescarola. Wishful thinking no doubt

Let's hope that the grandstands are as close as that.

Looks like plenty of room for the Comma in front of the that French piece of sh*t !

I have to say my first idea was more of blocking the road with burning sheep!!

I wonder if you could Sue the ACO if you bought a Dunlop grandstand ticket in the belief that you be that clsoe to the action, instead of 200 yards away behind a desert of gravel!!

Wot no acknolegement of Team Impala - how rude - There's a space on the right gravel trap for a Team Impala spoting tabel and mabey a Commer Pace car, hence the Pescarola in froint of the R10

[Lorry]

I think the Commer should be coming the other way.

The Team Impala entry has already passed under the Dunlop Bridge. lol

As it appears to be dusk the Audi must be lapping the Pescarolo which has just come out of the pits after being fixed again.

Look properly... the Pesky Rolo is parked!

The cars are going the wrong way.  Discounting the stands being to so close.  Have they decided to run NASCAR or INDY style this year???  Speaking of NASCAR, just got back from Talledega last night.  I still don't get it.  It was my first NASCAR race and it was interesting but lacks so much.  Dem gud ole boys gotter dun though.  Jimmy Johnson won.

Have you been at the chips and hot sauce again John?

[Chris24]

John,

I know what you mean. For years I wanted to go to Talladega as it looked awesume on the TV. But when I actually went there last year, I was a little disappointed.

Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed the race and the place is huge, but its too big and loses atmosphere due to the sheer size. Also as the cars are at the other side of the track, you can't see whats going on as they are the size of ants. Good as they come past byou though.

However Bristol is the complete opposite and is better being there than it is live on TV. The track is 1/2 mile so you see everything, and the noise and atmosphere is electric. But I guess this is why there are over 180,000 on a waiting list for tickets for a 160,000 seat stadium.
