Fantastic drive by Tim Harvey in the Carrera cup

Best I've seen for a long while

Grid 15 to win, taking the lead a lap from the end, no bumping or pushing anyone off, just sheer speed and abilty

[woof]

What was more amazing than Tim's drive is that it actually was a really good Porsche race !

[Lozza_s]

yes he did do very well indeed. personally prefered the btc's because of all the bumping.. little bit more excitment

[Mystic Blue]

Great Porsche Race by Harvey. Giovanadi should have been excluded from race two for hooliganism. Josh Hill did well...

i guess your right about giovanadi but thats touring cars for ya! second race was very good mind you

That was mild stuff by BTCC standards.

It's Turner that should be excluded for being totally useless. Who pays him, Vauxhall?

hahahaha yea that wouldnt suprise me!

Porsche race was great to watch on TV I just managed to catch it after getting back from Brands well done for getting from 15th to first. The DTM sure is different to the UK touring cars. A lot less bumping and the noise is amazing!!

Great weekend of motorsport

Mat Jackson, just stunning as usual, Giovanardi's driving a bit like a cock this year.
Shame as I really respect his car control.
Adam Jones as aggressive and excellent again.
Micky Doyle in 8th!!!! go Micky. Vaulkard seems to be shaping up too.
But . . . .
Chilton?
Turner?
Where were they today?
I hate to say it but I'm starting to feel sorry for Plato, not that reliable the SEAT.
Next year will be their year.

Indeed - I can't believe he had the nerve to stand there and moan about Giovanardi's tactics and SEAT 'playing fair' when he backed him into the rest of the field in race 1!

I guess he's realising that he's squandered his career - from McLaren Autosport Winner to Plato's stooge, what a waste.

Brilliant day out.

As mentioned by others a great drive from Harvey, superb to watch.

Loved the Clio's too.

[tomTVR]

Turkington being taken out by Onslow Cole was a bit cheeky. I know BTCC has lots of contact which i like however he should have moved over to the right rather than spin him round.

[James_N]

just want to echo what a good day it was and an amazing days racing. The weather definatly helped make a more exciting race in all series.

[hilly10]

Really enjoyed today thought Matt Jackson done well to bring his car home after that shunt

Differently the best race of the day, Tim Harvey did a fantastic job coming from 15th to win the race.

Used to respect Onslow-Cole, but last couple of races all his job has been is to protect Fabrizio by taking out the competition... dirty driver.

Matt Jackson and Tim Harvey definitely my drivers of the day, clio cup most entertaining racing and were the Ginettas racing on ice!?!? Brilliant!

Apologies to everyone at the Whittlebury campsite for the game of 'Bogeys' we instigated!
