Btcc At Oulton Park - Sunday 19th Of June

[GreyKnight]

Well it was more of a success than the F1 in the USA at least!

 

Spent the day there with SEATcupra.net and had a great time. A good day for SEAT Sport UK too as Jason Plato managed a much needed 1st and a 3rd! Our club had special in-field parking which was nice - I think our club turnout was matched only by the Porsche owners club who were there to see the Porsche Carrera Cup - one of them turned up in a Carrera GT Obviously plenty of nice cars to see driving around, one or two Lotus, a couple of Nobles, lots of Porsches and a few TVR's. We had a chat with the SEAT Sport UK people in the pit lane and got admitted to the front of the queue so to speak for signings and banter with the three drivers Plato, Pickford and Hines (it's nice to be special ). The weather was of course sweltering up until about 3:30pm when the heavens opened, that did help to make the final races a bit more interesting though

 

Here are a few pics for anyone interested.
