Thats a bit unfair saying everything has good grids but the FFords - Minis only have 1 more at this moment.
Anyone know who the Mini Guest driver is this round?

yeah but i have a feeling this year the f-fords will be the rory butcher show, in the minis you have potentially a 5 way battle for the title with Vic Covey, Ken Thirwall, Chris Knox, David Sleigh and Mark Dryden all capable of winning. not going to say who my money is on tho
guest car is Knockhill's answer to the stig aka Skid Markz whoever that is, now going into richard style rant mode here.... why dont they get proven scottish drivers out there, last year we had Lidell and the rest were nae brilliant apart from sasha, Micky Doyle doesnt have budget atm, get him in as he is a known touring car driver, there is plenty of big name drivers out there that could draw a bit more of a crowd, would love to see Di-Resta, Francitti, Jonny Adam, susie stoddart in the guest car as opposed to journos from the s*n comic... end of rant

Would be awsome to see Di Resta, Dario or Susie racing as the Mini guest driver but the odds on that happening would be nigh on impossible as I doubt either Merc or Chip Ganassi would let there drivers go during a busy season but we can still dream Could always try and tell the BBC to let DC away for one week or get McNish as Audi arent doing anything else bar Le Mans

It's one of the Knockhill instructors but obviously the identity isn't common knowledge, probably isn't the same person all the time just like Top Gear's Stig. Easiest way to work it out would be to have a look at the person getting in and out of the mini this weekend and compare height and body shape to the likely candidates!

If it was Gordon Shedden why bother with the carry on of that name. Why not just say Gordon Shedden, would draw in more spectators. I've got an incline of who it might be but not saying incase I'm wrong...

Too modest Chuck. Blair - You're right, but the name was derived from a rather embarassing toilet incident (allegedly) ..... DC

Looks like testing (for saloons) will be mixed class - which probably makes sense from an organisational point of view. I have a cunning plan though...

Any one know what sessions the XR2's will be in. Khill website just states saloon sessions 1 - 4, but not what classes are in which session ......

I phoned up yesterday and asked which group had the most XR2's but they couldnt tell me. So just picked the second group just cause it felt good I personally thought it be safer having the classes split up as imagine an 750bhp focus coming up on a XR2 lol. Then again, be awsome to see it fly past
