They should put this sort of stuff on the ITV4 show, it would make the comments about who has more boost far easier to understand.

It would mean interviewing someone for more than 20 seconds, though.
Faaaar too complicated for the casual viewer they are trying to attract. I wish they would have more things like that though, rather than what seem like constant interviews with the bloke from Dunlop about tyres.

I should just add, before i get jumped on, i LOVE Paul O'Neil and someone seriously give the guy some money to race. Stick him in that MG at any race track this season and he'd maybe not of beaten Plato, but he'd of been close and possibly won the ones Jason retired from...

From That Link said:
.
Losing the most boost is the Triple Eight MG, with a reduction of 0.05 bar. The baseline figures weren't published, so an overall comparison of boost levels isn't possible, but also would be of limited value as the performance levels of the engines isn't directly tied to boost level.
.
Looking good or bad then?

So down to JP's wheel twiddling and pedal pressing and the rumoured MG's superb handling.

EDIT to add @ 11:45

Wow... that's a turn up for the books.

Who knew?







My forecast for a Hodna 1-2-3 is looking pretty remote now.

If they are allowed to show the last little bit of Porsche qualifying live online why dont they show the Saturday afternoon support races online?
