So glad I joined as I'm leading. Just wish my team name was better but my creativity streak was at an all time low. I know poor excuse but had to come up with something.:D :D :D

I didn't know u could make changes. Who have u picked?

[kezbabybabe]

I'm in :) I'll probably be last, as I've missed Brands, but hey, it's only a bit of fun.

You can completely scrap your team and change it just before every race meeting.

For Brands i had (total 4.9m):
Jones
Turkington
Shedden
Jackson
Allison

but have now changed it to (total 5m):
Jones
Turkington
Shedden
Jackson
Kane

hey you never know - who have you chosen! you only get £5m and to be honest I think it is hard to make a decent team out of that, especially when the likes giovanardi costs you £2m

[kezbabybabe]

I've picked:

Adam Jones
Mat Jackson
Jason Plato (of course!)
Colin Turkington

Umm, just realised that's two Seats and two BMWs. Could be interesting.

It really does give u a different perspective. I don't particularly like Plato as I support Matt Neal but i am considering picking him for the next race.

[Grubenmoppz]

Don't worry Laura, you were looking on the Brands Hatch round, which I didn't take part in, if you click next I've got my drivers ready.

Got 87 points just from Rockingham; i'm now 14th in the overall standings, gone up 84 places :eek:

[laurat]

i think i'm doing rubbish.
jason let me down at the weekend so I'm blaming him :eek:

Oh dear not another blame game, though saying that I'm now using DT instead of JP.

yeah you told me that last night - that's naughty. i'm not getting rid of jason, i've got faith in him to go full steam ahead ... c'mon the PLATO!!!!

[kezbabybabe]

I had to keep one of them at least, plus DT is now the stronger of the two. We shall see who has more points after Donny.

Congratulations Kerry. I have to say that is the best move you've ever made swapping Jason for Darren :p You got taste now, but somehow I wish Laura couldn't see this post. :p

Nothing of the sort, all for my personal gain! :p

As soon as JP starts performing again, I'll be swapping DT for JP! :)

Come on Kerry, make your mind up. Stop juggling between the two. At some point one of them will want to know which one you're going 'home' with.
Is one not enough?

Well I nearly followed JP home once, so I think that should count for something. :)

You see, it's starting. I take it when you said 'nearly, you couldn't keep up with him. :p

More like Gareth (My other half) wouldn't keep going down the M25 to follow him home. We turned off for the M4 instead. :)

To be honest I wouldn't even know what to say to him even if I bumped into him. Too shy. :o

He is ok to speak to. I spoke to him at Knockhill last year and got his autograph and he was fine. Shy kids get nothing or at least that's what I've been taught. Have you spoke to any of the other drivers?

None. I did wave at Jason when he went past though, does that count? :p

[lauratsdad]

did he wave back?

[kezbabybabe]

did he wave back?

Yeah and gave a thumbs up. :D Probably helped that Gareth was playing a game of tag down the motorway over taking each other. Only because he didn't believe me when I said it was the man himself.

[lauratsdad]

I suppose that does count then if he waved back and gave you the thumbs up. What you should have done though is grab a piece of paper, write your mobile number on in huge black letters and hold it up to the window of the car. If he calls run off with him to some exotic place or even his house in Monte Carlo and if he doesn't then at least you can say you tried.

Now that made me giggle. :D I probably would have either caused him to crash (He was driving) or caused Gaz to crash (also driving).

I also would not want to cross Sophie. :)

[laurat]

What has been going on here ... why is my dad such a comedian. I did warn you what he was like didn't I? Mind you I would done the mobile number thing

I don't think you would. As your Dad said "Shy Kids Get Nothing" :)

Er....ok then, I wouldn't run! (but only if he were single) :)

Well am off to bed, falling asleep here.
See ya all tomorrow

[TheStig]

Can't remember where I am, but I know I'm sumwhere near the bottom of the league! It's good fun though! :D :D :D

I think I'm about middle ... not too sure but I know am neither bottom or top

[mikeymike]

LOL only just read this post and it a league i am in so should have spotted it really. Just think the BTCC pricing was a little off as i am currently 3rd in overall standings and really think you shouldnt have been able to buy 3 good drivers.

[Tomabigbtccfan]

I think I'm about middle ... not too sure but I know am neither bottom or top

You are in 10th position at the moment.

[laurat]

You are in 10th position at the moment.
Oh well, not bad I suppose!

[Romano]

I made a big mistake in the drivers I picked :(
Neal will do well
Turkington and Jackson will struggle :(
And Jones Seat will struggle aswell:(
The deadline for changing drivers has passed, So I can only pick drivers for the next event. :(

[Romano]

So who are people picking for Thruxton? :p
I only got 34 points from Donington, Which is a let down after I got 86 from Rockingham :p

[kezbabybabe]

Keeping mine the same. :) I can't swap DT for JP as I'll need to move the whole lot round, so I'll keep it as it is. Consistency and all that!

[Romano]

I had Neal, Jones, Turkington & Jackson for Donington.

For Thruxton ive got Neal, Onslow-Cole & Jackson.
Hopefully my predictions pay off :p

[laurat]

I scored 54 points or something (I think I did anyhow, but don't quote me on it), think I done ok though ... glad I kept Jason in as I feel now he is starting to hone in on that sweet spot ... woo hooo, at long last although I still cannot help but think that Darren has sussed the Diesel out just that tad more than Jason

[chrisb]

Yeah Jason done me proud today...still sitting 3rd in the league...:D

[simon1220]

I had Turkington and Jackson for Donny which didnt bode well, but Gio and Jones got me some points!

Swapped Turkington for A.Jordan and Allison for Thuxton!

[lauratsdad]

Plato got me 40 points so I'm pleased with him for that. Definitely not taking him out my team now as I feel he has started his winning role.
Although I mainly support Mat Jackson, I take my hat off to the two Seat drivers as they were phenomenal at the weekend. I personally think they are starting to get used tot he Diesels and I think it is the start of something good.

[kezbabybabe]

Come on Kerry, make your mind up. Stop juggling between the two. At some point one of them will want to know which one you're going 'home' with.
Is one not enough?

Right I've decided, I'm sticking with DT!

[dannybo]

Right I've decided, I'm sticking with DT!
Oh kez, im disappointed in you!
You know JP is the safest bet in the long run & with Thruxton & Snetterton not too far away, the SEAT's will start to come good.;)

[Romano]

For Thruxton ive got Neal, Onslow-Cole & Jackson.
Hopefully my predictions pay off :p

I must be suffering from something, Ive just quoted myself.. :p
But im not sure about my team.. Im not really a fan of Jackson, But I know he can rack in points.
If Neal and Onslow-Cole keep up the current form then there going to get me plenty of points..
Dont really know what to do :(

[kezbabybabe]

Oh kez, im disappointed in you!
You know JP is the safest bet in the long run & with Thruxton & Snetterton not too far away, the SEAT's will start to come good.;)

See the problem is that JP is higher in price than DT. So I maximise my team, while still supporting SEAT.

[laurat]

I'm keeping faith in Jason ... I'm keeping him

[Tomabigbtccfan]

I'm keeping faith in Jason ... I'm keeping him

As a Matt Neal fan it pains me to say ive picked jp for the next round, in desparate need of points after terrible weekend at Donington.

[laurat]

JP will definitely do you proud ... I'm going for another two wins or could it be all three at thruxton?
