It's closed until 11am Sunday. Right when everyone needs to use it. I know you're being clever with your comments, but it's a major event for the area with a lot of people coming in, would a bit of forethought be too much to ask?

Oh FFS there are plenty of ways to get to Croft without using the A1; BTCC doesn't generate as much traffic as most football matches , not even when it was worth watching back in the 90s . Damned if I want major infrastructure work planned around a touring car meeting - maybe it should be the other way round do you possibly think ?

Aggressive and patronising in one short paragraph. It's obviously just me that thinks it's a bit silly so I'll leave it there.

They just briefly showed the drivers on the back of a lorry doing the parade lap.
The guy closest to the cab I'm certain was drinking beer until he realised the camera was there he then put the bottle behind the back of the guy next to him.
Looked a bit odd

What a fking joke... gow needs to change the rules that you have to take the start unless you have a mechanical problem. I understand why BMR did that but its just taking the piss

My sentiments exactly! Commentary team saying that it's such a good idea blah blah blah. No it isn't it's another dhead move from dhead Plato! He's a fast driver in a fast car so who's to say he couldn't work his way up the standings! Childish move cause he doesn't like losing/not being up the front!

He tends to have a bad name but he hardly helps himself does he?

Just using badly written rules to his advantage. I'm sure he won't care what a few guys on a forum say if the points from the next race help him win the championship.

Why is everyone allowed to cut the first half of the chicane every lap?

Just get out there and race Plato, FFS.

Normally cheer him on, but tbh glad he didnt get pole for race 2. Very strange decision. Good driver in a good car, surely he would have got some points and moved up the grid.

He started from the pit lane to get a chance of clear air to get further up the grid for race 2 clever move I thought. Gets the soft tyre out of the way and get a better start place for race 2. The chances of being caught up with an incident starting 12th is high so the risk of being knocked out of race 1 than starting at the back of race 2.
He sacrificed race one for a better race 2 and 3 plato knows how to use the rules to his advantage which is why hes on the top of the stats for all time btcc.

Good battles throughout the field aron smith in contact again with cook a bit not needed tbh. Great result for bmw with a 1-2-3 and praiulx with his first win in the btcc since 2002.

Strange no clever yes why risk a non finish in race 1 and a bad starting grid for race 2 instead of no points in race 1 and a good starting grid for race 2.
The year its all about scoring the most points consistently ever weekend and plato has yet again found the best way hence why hes leading the standing.
