I'll be there..

Who do we think will win the championship then? I think JP will have his work cut out for him, and those Honda boys will unfortunately take the title. The 3 of them (Neal, Shedden and Jordan) will try to make it impossible for him to pass any of them just to give the others a chance. Think back to Donnington when Shedden wouldn't give him an inch.

He's going to need good pace in qualifying to be ahead of them on the grid.

I predict Neal taking Plato out, gifting the title to Flash and a big punch up.

Im hoping for sheddan to win the title his time is right.

One thing it's my job to start the btcc thread stop itlaugh

On a more serious note hoping it will be a clean fight but being neal can't see it should be a good end to the season and atleast the final is at brands instead of silverstone.

Decadence don't spoil another thread.

I'm backing JP as usual, I imagine it will be Sheddon that wins unless he ends up in a barrier or on fire. smile

Agreed. I think he has driven better than ever and has had some redicukous bad luck!

Shedden. tongue out Not quite as bad as decadence talking about somebody called "Arron Smith"...

It'll end up going down to a final round shootout probably, the top three having three DNFs and Andy Jordan winning. I've seen the script. wink

Seriously though, I reckon Shedden. It's his time.

i don't know I'll reckon neal will do everything to try and win the drivers championship following his dissapointing weekend at brands hatch. if both honda drivers start fighting each other & take each other out, then JP might win the championship. i don't think Jordan will win - i reckon he's out of the running.

Well...it's not really his job to just let opponents pass. Driving defensively (so long as it isn't dangerous)to defend you position is part of racing. If you are interested in the out and out fastest can I recommend time attack.

I think it will be close. Shedden seems to have the consistency, and that will probably win it for him. Mat Jackson looked really racey at Silverstone and was leading the first race before the car went pop don't forget. I can see him grabbing one or two.

Why would it bother you do much for someone in a Honda to win it?
Such biased little Plato fanboys.

I think it's Shedden's title to win.

Got a bad feeling Neal is going to bump off Plato given the opportunity. I'm a fan of the Honda team but if that happened it would be a totally unfair way for Shedden or Neal to win it. Let the best man/car win.

The way Matt Jackson is going he is going to make things interesting for the front three.

Will be there. Shedden for the title, hopefully Jackson for the independant. Motorbase deserve it I think.

Missed the point. There is defending, and then there is what Shedden did at Donnington which was an all out life-depends-on-it wont let him pass lap. Didnt see very much of that happen at all in Silverstone R3, just a little bit of block one way but not the other. Plato passed pretty much every car in Luffield and Brooklands time after time. His line was different to everyone else but they could have still moved to block.

No the OP says clearly he dosnt want the Hondas to win, why cant someone post if they dont want MG to win?
It says Brands Hatch as a thread, not "only post in here is you hate Honda and love JP"

get your own life then you would't have to live through Jason Platos successes....
