More problems for wrathel will he switch back to the swindon engine the toyota engine has had problems all year.

He's never ran the Swindon engine. Always been Toyota-powered. Could it be that the engine's struggling now it's got more competition this year and is reaching it's limit?

Nice one TO-C, brilliant qualifying by Morgan and Williamson too.

Bloody hell, Wrathall's car is getting worse!.

At least it's not an Insignia

[Ponk]

Looks set to be a good day's racing tomorrow.

Why on earth doesn't Tony Hughes get Paul O'Neill in that car full time?

Looks like Ollie is in for a long day at the office.

I meant to say switch to the swindon engine not back to it. Then again hear'ed news about toyota putting in more funding for the team i believe that toyota fund the engine for dyno-jet.

Surprised by williamson pace seems to be a good driver isn't he under plato's acadamy project.

[decadence]

Did Gillham realy buy 2 of those Insignias!!

WHY?

Massive well done to Williamson amazing stuff. Was at Donington today with my brothers race team so followed it on my iPhone, must say at one point i was expecting a Honda front row lock out, but man looking at the times i dare say they pretty much got the 'parity' spot on. Should be an AMAZING finale.

[MG CHRIS]

Yep he bought 2 the one built and the other which is just a shell needing to be built. It was his only option really no other ngtc car out there and it did show some pace at snetterton so i dought it's a bad car. Look at the audi's/toyota in the first round in 2011 right at the back so will judge it next year when team hard gets to grips with it.

Looks like Ollie is in for a long day at the office.

Are you going to pay for O Neill to race the car?

Well no, but I expect a car mixing it in the mid field will pick up more sponsors than one tooling round at the back? Chicken and egg surely?

Alternatively let Paul race it on a weekend by weekend basis as and when cashflow allows. Even if he can only afford half the season they'll still get more points!

^^^this.

Sad fact but O'neill cant raise the cash. He's a nice bloke, relatively handsome (sadly helps alot in PR land), can drive a race car for sure....how cant he get sponsorship? He'd not let you down give 110% and with his previous on TV, would keep the cameras on your business name.....if i had the wonga he'd be in my team....infact no he wouldnt as my brothers would be in my fantasy BTCC....but you get my point.

Is it urban race track myth that O'Neills sister is Sporty Spice? or has someone been winding me up?

If so cant she lend him some cash?

Yes she is his sister and no paul doesn't like using his sister money and doesn't allow her to give him money aswel.

You just missed the chance to have some fun there. You're too honest!

[Allyc85]

I really am tempted to make the treck to Brands tomorrow, but not sure about the 5am start and 4 hour drive, let alone the traffic getting out and late finish!

But then I have been wanting to watch on the GP loop for years...
