Great idea setting up this section for our pics:
I'll be putting up a few in both Brands Hatch and Thruxton threads but for now here's my favourite from last year taken from the grandstand right at the moment Matt Neal had his contraversial accident Round 1 '06:

Thanks for setting this section up! I'm aiming to be at as many rounds as possible this season and will be posting links to my photo's in this section, high fences (Rockingham??) and weather permitting! For any newcomers, you'll find pics from last season here
http://www.flickr.com/photos/brooklands78/
and I've also set up a Myspace BTCC site here, ready for the new season

Here's an old skool userbar that people can use as signatures on other forums:
Bring back the good old days
I would make a complete set of team ones (Honda, etc) but as forum signature images are disabled it seems a little pointless... :(

All i tend to do is walk around the back of the paddock and garages after the final races as the teams are packing away. Any unwanted bodywork is left outside the garage or sticking out of the bins. That's how i got Chris Stockton's bumper from Snetterton - plus he asked me if i wanted it signed. I'll attact a picture when i get it off my phone :)

Mind you, whilst I was walking round the Paddock at Knockhill, I was wearing my VIP badge round my neck but a lot of others didn't have those badges so i guess anyone can walk round the paddock - I don't know...maybe ask someone like chris hodgetts as he'll know for definite!

Here's some photos from the first EERC Britcar meeting of the season. I thought they were relevant as Richard Marsh's old 307 BTCC car was racing in the Britcar race. (It amazingly led for a while in the snow before retiring!) Also Mike Jordan was racing a Eurotech Porsche and ex BTCC driver David Leslie won the britcar race in a BMW. It was Ex BTCC team Synchro Motorsports debut with their new Prodcution spec Honda Civic Type R driven by Alan Blencowe. Also there was an interesting Alfa 156 Super tourer in the Production Saloon (PS1) race.

My 11 year old son kept asking why we can't have these cars back in the BTCC. He would have been 3 the last time we saw them racing in 2000.
When I found out this car was competing in the LMA Euro Saloons we just had to go.
Have to admit the Rapid Fit and the original 93/94 ICS liveries are my favourites. My son now wants me to have our Mondeo sprayed etc. in the Rapid Fit Livery. :lol:

that is half of it though - to see them in their original liveries.
At Knockhill there was the Nissan Primera and although she is an old girl now she still got a crowd around her.

There was also a Vectra too but didn't have a BTCC livery, may have been an ex Vectra Challenge car.

Nice shots.:) There are a couple of Vectras in that series. One is a Vectra challenge car but the other is a supeer tourer but its an Opel version from europe rather than an Ex BTCC machine. There are a couple of photos in my Flickr account from the Silverstone meeting.

The Mondeo still had Rydell on the hatchback window. I took a photo of the car in the paddock using the flash and the rear door still had the reflective decals from the night races.
