BTCC - Oulton Park (SPOILERS)

[jamiebae]

So, who's your money on, is it going to rain on Sunday, will the Fords be pegged back by the new restrictions and will Matt Neal damage even more cars under braking into Island than he did last year?

[jamiebae]

So Chilton is still fastest in FP1, from Shedden, Collard, Jackson, Neal & Onslow-Cole which suggests that the extra restrictor still hasn't brought the performance of the Focus in line with the rest of the field given the different amounts of ballast across those drivers.

It will be interesting to see how qualifying goes and if we see more regulation changes before Croft. Will any other teams make the switch to run LPG?

[Allyc85]

It is very close and only first practise, as long as the Fords arnt still blasting past everyone they will be fine with regards to extra restrictions.

Ohh good. I just realised this would be on this afternoon. Yay. Oultons got to be my favourite track.

Sat down at knickerbrook ready for the racing.

Thats one hell of a shed the commentators are in! Is the usual building being renovated or something!

[Munter]

I think Plato might be red faced in the interview after that move by Jackson....

Louise interviewing 3rd place James Nash.

"Now how about you, you did really well didn't you,"

I don't think she knew his name.

[mattikake]

Great last race. Nice to see Plato and Neal shaping up to be the main contenders again.

Driver of the day is Jake Hill, again. 5th to 1st in 3 racing laps. Get in!

Exactly what I thought, pretty awkward.

Bit of a nasty crash in the Carrera Cup.

On a side note, I still can't find the Touring Cars interesting

[MiniMadMike]

Anyone know where i can see the results of the Clio Cup races this weekend?

Bit of a big one that, £100K down the drain.

Yes it was. Martin in the yellow car hopped out pretty quickly and seemed ok, Parish seemed to be holding his arm - possibly broken?

Such a shame, a sad way to end a great day of racing. It was very similar to the accident at Old Hall in the G50's last year, hopefully Parish won't have broken anything and will be back ASAP.

Just got home from spending the day there in the big Unipart marquee there, was a good day of racing, and nice to see JP winning race 2 from 10th on the grid
