Collard. Livery looks the same as end of last year. Will there be a change?

Folks, just a reminder - while this thread is to post 2009 testing shots of the BTCC teams you might have snapped, it is just that - for LINKS only.

Thanks

Cheers for the new thread, Editor 1. I think I may have posted photos earlier, if I did I appologise.

Interesting to see in this picture Chilton is not wearing his crash helmet!

I've uploaded some video I took at Brands today of the new Team Aon BTCC Ford Focus.
I think it looks and sounds great! Apparently it has some engine issues today, not sure exactly what it was but you can see/hear when it happened on my vid -

That was taken after the photo shoot on the grid and the cars were returning to the pits.

Wat was happenin with the back end on the VXR? It had an exposed exhaust :eek:

Extra silencer to meet the test day noise requirement. The Dynamics Civic had the same.

[thompp]

I wondered what it was too - now I know..! Redshoes was right - normal test days have restricted noise limits. I rang up Snetterton this morning to find out who was testing and found out about Vauxhall/Honda testing. I asked about F3 but they said F3 were too noisy for these test days.

I got the first pics of the VXR cars testing in the UK - I may have been the first one to post the piccies..!

interesting colours there on the Vectra, back to black, white and red, maybe the old design coming back for 09?

if you asking about the one that was at oulton then no it was just a normal trackday so the entry is free but usually the viewing is limited (at oulton it is inside the circuit only) but still good viewing.

Nope you could still get to the outside by going over the footbridge and walking down to hilltop etc.

And yes it is free to get into test days but you still have the restricitions of a normal race meeting(I.E cant get upto the barrier).

depends on event, i was there for a bike trackday last week and the bridge was closed so could only go on inside.

well that my first time at rockingham and can quite honestly say it will be my last. That is one god awful track to watch motorsport from and tbh think it wouldnt be the first choice of most of the professional photographers as the track is just bleak. Im just glad i hadnt paid to get in and didnt have to waste a days holiday too go.

Any here are a few pics that i took.
