A good day of action today, although the wind was a bit hard to bear! Good performances from pretty much all the top teams today - it'lll be a brave person who tries to predict the outcome of any race this weekend. The RWD cars were all quick of course, but some of the FWD boys looked dangerous as well. Looking forward to the main event tomorrow.

The second Ginetta Junior race at the end of the day was properly mental as well - lots of argy-bargy, even by their standards! Don't know what'll happen to Middleton tomrrow though - I think he missed three chances for a drive through and got black flagged. He then did a drive-through - apparently at a very high speed - and then went back out and finished the race anyway. An interesting approach to the rules...

The Subarus look very fast.

That move by Welch was a bit clumsy.

A lot less incidents than recently.

Would quite like to see the onboards of how exactly Morgan got fired by an out of shape Civic when in a waved yellows zone.

Welch the perennial victim takes his freshly rebuilt car and uses it as a battering ram. Will no doubt be Warren Scott's fault in his book for not jumping out the way.

Bit of a shame Ingram getting a driving standards flag for running wide at the chicane when he was about the only driver giving any recognition of them on the apex kerb.

How bloody tall is The Wookie by the way?!

Lol at Welch doing the exact same thing he complains about. That was an awful move.

Did I hear that the young guy has been excluded from the entire weekend?

Plato didn't exactly help his teammate in that race.

Great drive by Neal.

Could have been a Subaru 1 - 2 if Plato didn't keep backing Turkington into the cars behind.

Great race though.

Great 2 races some questionable moves by neal on morgan and welch considering hes just rebuilt it think he drive a bit more cautiously.

Race2 was brilliant plato done an amazing job to defend that for so long still a podium and less weight in race 3. Collard what a drive and goff/tordoff and turks with some really good moves.
This is going to be extremely close to the last round. 10 cars within 50 points of the leader.

Hopefully Ginetta Supercup is better than it was earlier on.

Looks like ginetta will be busy next week not a straight car in the field.

Master class in defensive driving by Mat Jackson in race 3.

Howard again too.

What a drive by Jackson, that must have felt like an eternity in that Focus.
