Plato to race new Leon for SEAT in the 2006

[Muzorewa]

According to www.seatsportuk.co.uk JT was there and drove the car, as well as JP and Darren Turner

Funnily enough according to SCN too.

Ah, that wasn't there at 11:30 this morning

Other sites reported JT in the WTCC car, presumably this is incorrect, all driving one BTCC car.

Our info was from SEAT Sport, so I'd hope they know who was in the car

 

[Muzorewa]

You never know, with Chevrolet there, they could have given Huffy a go to remind him what a proper car goes like

 

[ZBOYD]

Little teensy weensy bit of video on our article now, SEAT Sport keeping warm in the cold garage we think.

Get the marshmallows out!

Oh for a night race with those flames!

sounds lovely

 

[m0rk]

I've just found out the path that video took to get to me!

The flame footage was actually taken by Darren Turner on his mobile,
Bluetoothed to Jason Plato and myself

Then sent to me, who MMS Emailled to Zboyd who Quicktimed it!

I can't see it, but I can hear it and that's good enough for me.

 

[Muzorewa]

I can't see it

Neither can I, QuickTime comes up with some nonsense that some components are missing and they aren't available on the server. Doesn't work on my 'puter at home, either. But the sound works.

Is it available converted to mpeg or some other format for us luddites to view?

Aha! Just installed it onto a newer pc with XP
Video looks cool. No sound on this pc, trying to remember what the audio was like and mentally combining the two.

Should be groovy on the approach to Paddock Hill bend :wink:

spotted a seat leon cup car in light blue going up the m40 by prodrive this morning think it had breze in the window would he be testing or is that not alould before the season?

 

[IainW]

Probably off to Silverstone for testing. Carl Breeze is supposed to be driving for Edenbridge Racing this year. Strange route to Silverstone though from Kent.

Testing is allowed at the moment. Many drivers have been doing it over the past few weeks. Not sure when the test ban kicks in though.

 

[IainW]

Oh my god

 

[Muzorewa]

No scope for confusion when that is behind you lining up an overtaking move.....

I can't help fearing that the large quantity of Integras on the grid may scupper Seat's plans. I hope I 'm wrong, and I'm really looking forward to the season. Should be some quality racing this year
