i see we are back to banger racing with team yuassa. how the hell do they get away with it, is tim"honda" harvey ever going to see them for what they are ? whats happened to rob austin, he used to be a fan favourite but now he forgets to use the steering wheel. Poor Ollie Jackson, again.

Usually enjoy watching the TOCA package but today during race 1 I just found myself thinking "what's the point" really didn't enjoy it at all. Maybe im just miserable
Don't think the track helps. I think it's been ruined since it was extended. Only good bit is from the bomb hole through to Russell imgo 
Well not a bad days racing, usual suspects aside. It's looking like it could be a BMW vs Subaru battle in the second half of the year.
It looks like they've got more of a handle on Plato's car now but definitely something not right at the moment. Wrong parts fitted somewhere on it maybe?

I think Plato is so scared of causing more damage to his car he staying out of big battles. In race 1 he just sat behind Jordan didn't even attempt a proper pass. In race 2 could see him being cautious around the outside and as soon as had the tap with Jordan he then went backwards deffo not showing his previous ruthless streak of a few years back. Think his time in the btcc may soon be over hopefully he takes I'm never wrong Neal with him.It looks like they've got more of a handle on Plato's car now but definitely something not right at the moment.

got to wonder it this whole Plato/ Sutton car thing is a team effort at not getting the cars slowed down by the MSA so Sutton can take the title and the others taking a hit for the team.
Boost reductions and the like go off the fastest car not a team average. Rob Collard is the reason the BMW long first gear penalty was so severe, the car obviously gets off the line well due to physics but he's usually the fastest starter on the grid full stop so the effect was always more dramatic when compared to his team mates. 
My first time at BTCC for 5 years, a decent days racing but I came away thinking the same as last time, what the hell does the Carrera Cup add to the day, bugger all would be my opinion and judging by the way everyone disappeared for food/drinks while they were on track it wasn't just me. IMO needs to be dumped and replaced with something that brings some more (any?) action. Really poor series in my book. They might be nice to look at but the action is none existent.

Sheddon at it again, I hope Ollie buts in a complaint
Apparently he didn't hit me, the kerb that I'd hit more or less every lap on the test day, free practice, Qualifying and the laps leading up to that moment suddenly made the back of my car lift a foot off the ground when there was a Honda behind it
