Brilliant drive by Turkington to get P3! Even though Menu let him past he looked the quickest on track and could have done even better if the BMW had greater top speed!

For a World series, there's some really amateur driving. Good performances from Colin, maybe should be permanently in the series.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

What an enjoyable days racing. the WTCC provided two very good races, Turkington and Priaulx were both superb today. if this is WTCC in its supposed dire year, then the WTCC has a good future.
I was pleased to get Priaulx's, Turkington's and Farfus' autographs aswell at the BMW stand, that was a good feature, just shame I missed getting murray walkers buy an agonisingly close margin... (he was called to go somewhere else)
as for the support series, the lotus on track elise trophy featured great club racing, the F2s were Ok and certainly dramatic with Palmer and the lithuanian guy (whos name I can pronounce but not spell without looking at the program) dropping out then there were 2 40 minute maserati races, which for me were too long for the quality of racing offered...
and then there was the seat leon eurocup. a dramatic race featuring a large crash at paddock hill infront of me, but it was nothing compared to this:

It's an absolute miracle no trackside marshall or spectator was killed there, watching this on the big screan was incredibly horrifying. I could tell the spectators around me felt the same.Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.

Two pretty good races, shame they can't all be like that. Colin Turkington was the star performer today, two good podium finishes, he and WSR are leagues ahead of the other WTCC independents at Brands Hatch. I believe he took the biggest ever haul of points by an independent in one weekend and after just two meetings he is in second place in the Independents Cup.
I was a little disappointed with Harry Vaulkhard, on home turf I would have thought he could finish better.
Andy Priaulx drove through the field well in race one and was quite calm in race two in taking yet another win.
Yvan Muller's win in race one was flawless lights to flag win.
Mehdi Bennani drove quite badly in race two taking off Franz Engstler and Darryl O'Young.Blackadder! Blackadder! With many a cunning plan,
Blackadder! Blackadder! You horrid little man.

Some good racing from the WTCC - big congratulations to Colin Turkington showing the talent coming from the BTCC once again
Great circuit, great weather. Not as good as the BTCC, however. Nice to see the WTCC using a proper podium though!
I remember commenting that I was surprised there was catch fencing on the inside of Sheene curve. Then this incident happens, which shows cars can go off heavy on the inside of a corner.
It was an unusual accident. There is perhaps now a case to justify catch fencing.
