Just as a pre-warning, there may be a bit of an issue with the VTEC / PTCC race. I've only just been told, but there have been zero reginstered entries for the PTCC series as of today, and due to quite a few issues with people's cars, only 6 VTEC entries

It may just be an admin error, but with 6 cars i'd be pulling out as it's not going to be worth it.

All very confusing as the PTCC is a fully sponsored series and BTCC springboard.

Will update tomorrow.

On the plus side, there's still some good racing going on with the Britcar and Porsches etc

Thanks for the heads up Mark, seems strange no entries for the PTCC?

I've just withdrawn our Britcar entry as the car isn't quite ready yet and we don't want to half a half hearted first race this year.

What was your entry, Rich?

I was on track with a few Britcar guys yesterday at Silverstone.

We have 350z & 370z for the Britcar Production Sportscars series.

The 350z are prepped to Group N spec, ideal in the wet. The 370z are to GT3 spec, though the regs still allow us to run them with sequential box, big wing, flat floor & splitters.

Latest is that the PTCC guys are on some sort of strike due to regualtion issues.

Look like 8-9 Honda's which isn't great, but in support of the series i'm in, pending a coolant issue to sort on Friday. A lot of the Honda guys are missing this one due to car troubles!

Forgot to say - i'm in, only about 10 cars, looks like it's pissing down, i'm on very worn semi slicks and not been on a wet track before, got a cold etc etc

Otherwise all is well with the world!
