Crash.net's Brands Hatch blog: Sunday.

Sunday, 30th March 2008

Crash.net is running an exclusive blog during the opening rounds of the HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship season at Brands Hatch – check back for more behind-the-scenes news during the day...


"It's just caused by the particle filter thats fitted to the diesel," a SEAT source revealed. "Darren's like a little kid who sits there revving the car, which is why his car did it and Jason's didn't!"

Sunday pm - Pole for Jordan

The 'wheel of fortune' is no more - so welcome to the BTCC bingo game, which will now be used to decide who starts on pole for the final race of the weekend.

This time around, 'Old Man' Jordan was the man to benefit after his ninth place finish in race two and will start race three from pole.

Quite what Steven Kane will think of that having been put into the pitwall by the John Guest Racing man remains to be seen...

Saturday lunch - Celeb spotting

Murray Walker was amongst the 'celebrities' who came along to watch the racing action at Brands Hatch, with the man who for many years was the voice of the BTCC an interested spectator on the grid as the cars lined up for the start of race two.

"I saw that first season of the BTCC when Jack Sears won the title here back in 1958," he said. "Of course I commentated on the BTCC for the BBC for a number of years so the series has a special place in my heart.

"The whole thing is going back to where it used to be and it's thanks to the work that Alan Gow and his team are putting in."

Saturday lunch – Stockton calls it a day

A retirement in race one has proved to be the end of the weekend for Chris Stockton – with the engine having cried enough on his BTC Racing Lexus.

Both cars failed to finish the first race of the weekend after mechanical issues and while Stuart Oliver will be back out for race two, Stockton will be watching from the sidelines.

"We've dropped a valve we think and that's it for us," he said. "I said we weren't going to come here with £35,000 of spares in case we had a problem and would just take it back and sort it out instead, so that's what we'll do.
