Let's hope not....hope it's pretty mundane with no incidents, safety cars, red flags, and expensive accidents

I agree with Plato, think the Subarus definitely needs more boost wink

A little aggressive by Turks at the end there! Not too much sympathy for Proctor though, he was a bit naughty to Price at the hairpin.

Bloody Plato and his moaning .... more boost more boost and they are now the quickest on the track.

I really do wish Plato would jog on ....

Did he not get a big punt up the rear, without this I don't think Jeff would have gone off

Grow up.....at no point during platos interview was he moaning...clearly stating that his car was still bent, yes they need more boost to become equal. Obviously they have access to data as do toca who have obviously agreed he se the increase.

Bear in mind that Sutton was on the softer (quicker) tyre so could get away at the start so probably flattered the suburb more than you think....not denying it's been quick in the hands of cook though

Think you're right, I missed that at first. It did seem very unlike him! Was it Proctor that pushed him?

That Porsche crash must've been an eye sore with 11 cars unable to restart.

Some drivers need their heads tested.

They've been given more boost this weekend and he still wants more. That's despite Sutton's car having the same top speeds as the other RWD cars.

Motorbase are also having their boost monitored & adjusted this weekend, yet we don't hear their drivers continually moaning about being down on power.

Motorbase aren't the only Ford users and Josh Cook has pole for R3 in the Parker Focus..

Have any of the support races finished with a chequered flag yet?

Going off TSL Timing best suburus in qualifying were 13th 8th and 8th in each of the sectors speed wise...in the first race it was up to 9th 3rd and 3rd

Interestingly all the fastest sectors were set by Cole...

Sure it's not where they want to be....

...I'm not saying they should be a special case but the rules change at the start of the year which was directly aimed at suburu is still not cricket

They were well behaved as I've forgotten all about them! Hopefully the seniors won't cause any more delays.

Let's hope not. I know the feeling when you're the last race on in the day, sat in the paddock seeing all the muppets crash in front of you thinking oh no not again! Frustrating for everyone! Have some days like this though
