I'm going on Sunday but don't know best place trackside for pics at Brands as we normally hang around down the hill at paddock hill bend (not best place for pics).
I'll probably post some pics if I get any decent ones - I'll be using a £1700 Nikon lens so I've got no excuse not to! If you see a really filthy xpower grey ZT in the car park it'll be mine:lol:
Looking forward to it as I haven't been to a BTCC event for a few years.
Ok, I've arrived at Brands and settling into the media center. Nothing to report as of yet, the MGs have been out for a few installation laps and one of the Insignias have gone into the tyre walls.

To be .4 seconds off isn't too bad, given the lack of testing.
Back in the warmth of the media centre now, so will download photos and pop them in the next 30 mins or so. Once I get feeling back in my fingers.
I watched the qualifying, the car really does look good, and seems to be quick despite the huge amount of rear wheel lift (which I love seeing :lol, well done Plato!
it's the fastest car in a straight line , which is impressive out of the box. cornering needs a bit of work, but an impressive first qualifying considering how little time they have had! especially as second car was only finished at 5 am this morning!!
Steve did u drive up in your tf red one with a hard top and a private plate on it because I'm parked behind you lol strange if that's u it's got a . Org sticker on it
Totally different day today - sun is out, a little chilly, but it'll soon warm up. First purchase of the day - an MG KX Baseball cap!
I'll try and pop into the garage before the race and see what Jason and Andy think they can do.
Location wise, I'm going to try and locate around clearways for the morning to see what shots I can get from there. I may end up around paddock hill for the 2nd race though.
I'll be easy to spot, the only media with an MG KX Baseball cap I expect!
Plato came 4th by a few hundreds of a second, soooo close to a podium for the team's first race.
