The motorsport connection being that Brackley is the home of Mercedes AMG F1 of course
Brackley Town just beat Notts County, who play a league above them, on penalties in the FA Cup on BBC2.

1) IMMENSE decider. Remember it like it was yesterday.
2) You know how crushing it is knowing we have a Triple Header AFTER the best closer on the calendar?!
Just watched the Brazil 2012 highlights. My goodness we need this track back in the finale slot.

BTCC | 2024 Silverstone R3 | Silverstone National;

Very wet, Sutton made up 9 places in 3 laps, then heavy rain cars aquaplaning, red flag a bit late!
Resumed with good race Sutton chasing Ingram, 0.2sec at the end.
Earned their money, such tricky conditions.
Meanwhile, my cat who hangs out on the sofa doesn't want to sit on the seat any more, but trying to sleep on the arm instead. He goes to the seat then gets up again.

I gave him flea treatment last week. Does he think there's fleas on the seat...

Another wet one, grip was changing so much the cars were going up and down the midfield and the top three changed around.

MINI Challenge Trophy | 2024 Silverstone R3 | Silverstone National;

3 and 4 wide around a damp Silvo short track, sure why not. Gornall got away. Everyone else inches apart!
The way they both cut through the traffic was fun to see, like they'd been in WEC for years.

Porsche Carrera Cup GB | 2024 Silverstone R2 | Silverstone National;

Abbie Eaton wins! Darting through traffic with G Gamble right behind, won by 1.6sec. ProAm beat Pro. Strange one, top 9 on wets on a damp track, everyone else chose wrong and got lapped.

So this was never a VSC, but considering the colossal screw up earlier with the marshals, they were covering their own arse.
#F1
did this really need to be a VSC?

I understand their caution to some extent but surely you just leave the car where it is for the last couple of laps and cover it with yellows
Hah, just spotted Norris has 1pt more than Ferrari and Piastri is level.

357 Norris
356 Piastri
356 Ferrari
355 Mercedes
WCC #MexicoGP

713(C) McLaren
356 Ferrari
355 Mercedes
346 Red Bull

Ferrari back to 2nd.
Haas (62) jump Sauber (60) for 8th. Aston Martin and Racing Bulls should worry.
Bearman moves up to 13th, tied with Stroll on 32.
Ocon tied with Lawson on 30.
WDC #MexicoGP

357 Norris (6 wins)
356 Piastri (7)
321 Verstappen (5)
258 Russell (2)
210 Leclerc
Not that Norris should care. He won a race by half a minute and it sets him on course with a chance to win a title. He'll be fine.
These guys are risking their lives for sport and should only be booed if they do some shit like run a driver into the wall or fix the race. :looks at Schumacher:
Not a fan of boos in motorsports, this isn't football.

Except for Horner at F1 Live. That was hilarious.

#MexicoGP
Agree with Karun, Sainz car is not in a dangerous position
VSC - Sainz off in the stadium. Only 1 lap to go. That's gonna be it?
Max has caught Charles! How many attempts will he get with a yellow in the stadium?
