Not sure if you can watch it on there at all, try joing the forum and asking.
Or better still try to get over there!

Yup there will be an admission fee on the gate (charged by the circuit, not the race series). Usually between £8 and £12, should be details on the Motorsport Vision site. Just watched the Combe TTRS race on Motor TV

For sale - E30 320i racer project - sold.

A great day - the weather was on and off and there were some interesting 'incidents' along the way. I felt quite sorry for Louise Woodhams - editor of Performance BMW. She got caught up in a nasty shunt in the second race which put her out of action - that weekend was her fist in the PBMW! A Green E30 came off worse from the incident - hopefully the driver was okay as the car was in a pretty bad way afterwards.

Yeah, she had a couple of spills in the pissing rain in the first race but she defo seemed to be finding her feet in the second until disaster struck! I exchanged a few words with her partner during the day - he and the team understandably seemed a bit gutted after the accident. At least things can only get better for them - in a strange way she may benefit from having had a shunt so early on - it will be learning curve for sure!

I was there watching on Saturday, PBMW was the highlight of the day for me obviously!! Listening to the tannoy was hilarious, they guy couldn't call out the spinners fast enough. Wasn't sure anyone would actually make it round the track to where we were stood.
There seemed to be quite a lot more contact than in the other series that day... made it entertaining anyway.

Me and my dad had a great day there, missed the first bmw race after we got stuck in up the hill going over woodhead, i know is bad but this was stupidly busy
Shame ive only just started to get in to it near the end of the season but will be making the effort to get to a few more events next year

I did actually spot a cameraman getting some shots of the PBMW cars in the paddock but I wouldn't expect to see it on Motors TV!
