Who else is watching this? Is it just me or was Andrew Jordan's driving absolutely atrocious? He was millimetres away from causing an accident more than once by just weaving all over the road when anyone looked like making a pass, I hope he gets some kind of reprimand for that.
JP's green flag lap was a bit of a pisstake too and even after all that he still got obliterated off the line by the BMW!
It was a good race though, and congratulations to Paul O'Neill on his 3rd place

JP made a slightly optimistic move on Turkington into the first corner, pitched the BMW into a spin but got punted round himself by Andrew Jordan as he tried to straighten it up and pull away. He then retired a couple of laps later with a bent track-rod end from the contact with Turkington.
No it's not just you thinking the same about Andrew Jordan. I was really expecting Mat Jackson to run out of patience with him and put his car in a position that Jordan would take himself out. Well he did eventually by outbraking himself I suppose. But there could have been a big accident against the barriers.
Matt Neal seemed to be up to his old tricks too.

He was weaving so much I think he upset the balance of the car under braking to cause his own spin.Collard was a wally as well, on car from Neal turns straight into him.
Usual driving standards from the BTCC.

So you missed Platos fabulous drive from last to the podium without any contact at all did you?
And he's nothing like the clown that is Matt neal, POlato is usually punished when he transgresses the rules, Neal seems to be blessed with stewards blindness
I was talking about the last few years, not just this weekend.And he's nothing like the clown that is Matt neal, POlato is usually punished when he transgresses the rules, Neal seems to be blessed with stewards blindness
People like him and Neal are exactly why I lost interest in BTC. If they're not prepared to at least try and pass cleanly, what's the point?

Theres only one Matt Neal.

I'm watching a race at the moment and some of the driving is terrible, one of the Daewoos Chevys came up behind a BMW and rather than just wait to make the pass he nudged him off the track and caused quite a nasty crash involving another of the BMs. It's more like banger racing.
But then BTCC has been like that for years IIRC.

I have little doubt that nash will be penalised (because his surname isnt Neal) as aresult of the outcome of his actionsIt was an innocuous nudge (in touring car terms) but the resultant accident will doubtless bring recriminations

It was'nt that bad IMHO. The BMW was defending hard and actually moved across the front of the Chevy. The impact was light and did not occur in the braking zone (the obvious place to ram someone off).Contact is part of touring car racing.
I'm gutted for JP, he could have won race 3 if it wasn't for the puncture. He looked like he could have easily come away with 3 podiums from the weekend if it wasn't for the shunt in race 1 and the race 3 problems.
I didn't think James Nash's tap was that bad but he did look scrappy through there for most of the race so it's not really a surprise.
What a great day of racing though, I really wish I'd gone along now, I shouldn't have let the long drive into the middle of nowhere put me off
