Thorney in BTCC today at Brands.

**shimmy** · 01-04-2012, 06:29 PM

Anybody been watching. Not the most prestigious of BTCC starts in his new Insignia VXR-R.

Big crash in practice yesterday, another crash race one today. Looks about 2-3 secs off the pace.

Let's hope he's having fun driving coz he's gonna need a bigger kitty for repairs for round 2.

Been watching, he isn't doing to well.

To his credit though, in a interveiw he did say it's him not the car.

Hmmmm

I think that may be marketing speak. Better blame the Driver as he can be replaced whereas if it's the car and you own a car tuning business, it's not so straight forward.

I was really hoping it was on the pace today.

Maybe he should have been a politician

Watched the whole lot on ITV4 today - lazy afternoon with a couple of bottles of red..

Some money burned today in repairs....seemed to be carnage in almost every race !
