Why do they not fit a honeycoombe grill rather then what looks like a cardboard cutout?

Aero. They get all the air they need from the lower grille or so Shaun told me at Silverstone last year.  :wink:

....Now different from last year. It's a false honeycombe solid panel with one intake hole:

You guys see the ginetta GT crash on the startline when the pole sitter stalled it? Was in the pits at that point and heard it all!

Didnt take camera with me today so no pics from me!

I actually saw very little of the racing other than the first BTCC race. Even when I went on the grid with camera in hand for the second race, the Golf didn't make it there! I'm not complaining though  :wink:

My compact digital camera simply can't capture and deliver the quality of action pics which Rich and Hedgey can.

I was at the exit of the chicane/entrance to the pits so just missed the view of it. Heard it all but saw nothing. Great race 3 for TOC. Did well climbing the field. Apart from the wind it was a good day out!
