Looks like a few teething problems for Kaye, GA and Team Halfords.. but the Pugs hadn't even hit the track before today.
2nd practice is at 11:25 - a 40 min session.

Where is: Jim Edwards Jnr?

[cos]

...panic over, Jim is in Free Practice 2.

[cos]

... Matt Neal's Honda fastest in FP2, no sign of Pyper :confused:
Team Halfords still at least 3 sec off the pace.

Qualifying is at 2:55, only 20mins long, to decide the grid for race 1 tomorrow.

[mark]

Wow, I watched the live timing and it certainly seemed close. Can't wait for the qualifying now!

[cav1995]

Looking good and mega close at the top. I'm pleased with Morrisons performance cause I picked him for my dream team. :)

I thought the protons would be much more competitive this season though.

[thommo_fan]

i picked morrison too, the 3 MG's were a bit disappointing tho, i expected muller to be fastest to be honest because he has been the class of the field there in 2001 and last year.
