Also Smith being overtaken by Morgan and Eales aproaching the line as they are passing the stopped Honda under yellow flags?

How no red flag. How no safety cars in the first or second race. Poor.

Jordan thumps Epps and passes, that's a penalty retake surely?
Blatantly caught on camera.

Shedden got driving standards flag for weaving in front of Colin ?

It looked very much like that.

Harvey just made a comment about drivers not observing the yellow flags.

Total idiocy at the end in the midfield, 3 abreast out of final chicane under yellow flags. Should ban them from next race.

What happened to Rob Austin? Started 3rd but finished 31st, some 13 laps down.

And because it's poor publicity for the series they won't show the reason.

With that reverse grid draw I'm betting a Honda 1-2 after punting Newsham off, Turkington 3rd. Hopefully Rob Austin can get back into the points, he never seems to get any luck. rolleyes

Possibly, his car did get a big wobble on on the first lap even after only a small tap from Collard

Whose was the wheel that was off in the first race?

What happened between Jackson and Jordan? They never showed a replay.

We would normally have gone today but decided not to due to the weather forecast of rain all day. I'm glad we didn't in the end as the F4 incident would have been right in front of us.

The Kiern Jewiss kid is amazing,started way down due to being taken out earlier and was in 3rd before half distance and finishes 2nd.

I think it was said he's 14yo.

We were on the option tyre so was always going to be tough. Got punted into the gravel on lap2.

Good luck for race 3, hopefully Rob can claw some points back.
