10 years on... Subaru took its FIRST-EVER #BTCC victory! 🏆
Colin Turkington led from lights to flag in the opener at Oulton Park, sharing the podium with teammate Jason Plato as the #99 stood on the rostrum in all three races 👏
Tom Ingram also took every Independent win 🔥
The Sunday began with a heavy heart. I had just lost my friend Roland Ratzenberger and felt completely detached, like I was moving through a dream. We went through warm-up and the drivers’ briefing, but nothing felt real. It all played out like a film I was merely watching. Still, the racing routine continued. We took our places on the grid, there was a start-line crash, the start was aborted — and then we stayed behind the Safety Car.
I’m not against additional electrical power in general, but deliberately slowing down on straights just to charge the battery by sacrificing combustion engine acceleration makes no sense — neither ecologically nor in terms of efficiency. It would be far more logical to recharge the battery during normal braking or manually while in a slipstream. That way you could carry less fuel from the start (lighter car more speed) and use it more efficiently during the race

He had just secured his second F1 World Championship.
The page he’s reading features Aguri Suzuki’s historic third-place finish - the first podium for a Japanese driver at his home race.
@homersimo@UnracedF1 È mia l ho acquistata a pezzi ora la sto restaurando per farla diventare una show car. Sono appassionato anche io di F1 degli anni 90 primi 2000 e in modo particolare delle Forti da quando le vidi ad Imola per la prima volta nel 1995
