[pinkmichk]

I'm not really a fan of Plato, myself. I think I put it down to Fifth Gear. :tongue:

[pinkmichk]

i've been a plato fan for years before the fifth gear stuff (which i hate cos lets be honest its a blantant rip off of top gear they do same stuff just like 2 years late)
i finally sorted out my membership for the your racing car team (they run cars in support races is a fan based team)

ITV have announced that they will be re-scheduling the coverage of the second round of the BTCC at Rockingham on the 25th April.

ITV will no longer be showing the final race of the day live due to their coverage of the IPL.

Not to worry though as ITV will be showing a bumper highlights programme showing 90-minutes of BTCC action at the peak-viewing time of 8.30pm on Sunday Evening.

ITV4’s coverage of the BTCC will start at 11.00am and run through to 3.15pm with a 90-minutes highlights programme screened at 8.30pm, Sunday 25th April.


i've also just seen on twitter no Gio for rockingham dunno if he just doing 1 round (thruxton) or if ill or something but i think it was just a 1 off appearence for 1st round (hope so anyway he a good driver and platos biggest competition)

Just realised it was on. Watching Rockingham now. No Giovanardi (for the season?) is a bit disappointing.

[pinkmichk]
