BTCC Round 8 - Snetterton 24th & 25th Oct
Discussion
Well done again Wookie!
As much as I am a fan of Sutton, wasn't too impressed with his his post race interview, it was just tussling in the pack that he got involved in, he seemed to think it was deliberate, unless I am missing something?
Racing seemed quite tame compared to the last view rounds, perhaps it is the style of the track at Snetteron as I know the drivers were giving it their all or perhaps I am just getting used to the total carnage and excitement from the last few rounds and now expect this all the time

You wait all that time for a win and two come along within a few weeks! Great drive Ollie. Circuit didn't seem to suit the FK8, its going to be interesting at Brands, I can see Cammish sticking it on pole with a potential couple of wins if all goes well. Down to the wire again, I guess you've got to say Turkington is favourite, but Sutton is a bit mental so anything could happen!

He always gets in a huff when he gets tussled out which is surprising really as he cant really complain because he normally does the nudge and rub past all the time.

Ingram f
ked up he could have kept the 4th place and gained points on all his rivals which would have kept him within the 25 point gap too turks now hes 35 points behind and way to much to do. Unless turks and Sutton gets taken out first round in brands i cant see it being anything other than either a turks or Sutton title.Good race for wookie nice to see him get his 2nd race win hopefully more to come.
Butcher given a verbal ticking off and strike for his last lap contact with Ingram. I don’t think the hit was that avoidable but there was rather a lot of bumper tapping and door rubbing today so I guess the stewards had to do something.

Yes I agree Neate should really hang up his BTCC boots as he is not performing at the level of the car by a long way but the witch hunt over the Edwards clashes has gone way too far.
What about his 'move' on Boardley at Thruxton? That was just pure banger racing, going way off line purely to hit Boardley as hard as possible in his drivers door (assuming his car is RHD). Completely unprofessionalGutted about the incident with Ingram and Butcher, it was clear that Ingram was faster and it seemed Butcher just crumbled under the pressure. Butcher's weaving up the straight was weird and it was almost as violent as what you'd see on a safety car lap when trying to keep heat in the tyres. I was really hoping Ingram would take the title this year, he deserves it, he's managed very good results while keeping it very clean and respectful.
I like Sutton but thought his comments after the race were a bit odd. I understand that he's in with a shot at the championship and the Smiley isn't, but if nobody can get past him then that's not really Smiley's fault? Surely Sutton didn't expect him to just give up his own race to let the title contenders through?
And of course, well done Wookie!
