Amazingly there were no red flags during the day with all 15 drivers present and correct all enjoying warm, sunny conditions at the Norfolk venue which hosts the next round of the series in mid-July.
Although all the familiar front-runners were taking advantage of this opportunity to fine-tune their machines for the races ahead, there was one interesting new combination on show: Andrew Jordan enjoying a brief run in Tom Chilton’s Honda Civic as a reward for his near racing-winning performance earlier this season at Thruxton. Sadly, however, Andrew was able to set any competitive times in the Team Halfords machine due to technical issues.
The two-day test concludes tomorrow without either Vauxhall and Team Halfords but with both TechSpeed and John George.

iam a big fan of the btcc and i think that the tdi seat should be banned.it has got an advantage coming out of slow bends and no one else can get close to it.last year all the cars were very close but this year its got a big advantage they should resrict the rev limiter and make them carry more weight because its the only car with a turbo on it.
