No doubting that. Problem is though why would VAG think of investing to try to create a race winning car when all the hard work would be rewarded with balast and a boost reduction? there needs a balance now, that way big money investment could resurface, possibly.
Put it this way for all Hondas input in getting the best. ars out there, the advert is such that the best car is made to look one of the worst.... whats the point in factory support? come on Gow...

Which car are you talking about - can't be the Honda as that has won half of all the races this year.

decadence, in 5 mins time:



Race of attrition, some stupid driving on show and also those NGTC components aren't as sturdy as they should be.

He may well be but Neate's had his own mis-fortune caused by others over the years including nearly being killed at the start of the Britcar 24hr race a few years back.

That's no defence for his own bad driving, indeed he should be more aware of the dangers when punting someone out of he race

[Mostro]

A point for Ollie. Sheddon's gotta be happy with 7th in the circumstances.

[Ponk]

Real shame for Mat Jacksont that.

By my count there are only 4 NGTC cars in the top ten which just doesn't seem right.

The other 8 retired or were in the hands of guys who rarely trouble the top 10.

Where have I defended him?

I think it would be good to see the incident in full i.e. was Neate punted before he hit Jorden?

[metalsteve]

Gutted for Dan Welch as he was running strong, did a part just break on its own or was there contact?

Great to see Rob Austin having a good 5th place, admittedly gained through others falling off but he did get a lightning start and is in a good starting position for race 2.

[IainW]

Surely they could've consilidated both Porsche championships into one big race.

[Adrian W]

This is mind numbing

Apart from when there's coolant on the track. It should be a rule.

You can make it slightly less dull by playing count the number of times the commentators say 'splitter'
