BTCC 2013 - Title Showdown

[MrJan]

Well deserved win and I'm just glad that it wasn't Shedden. Jordan strikes me as one of the nicest chaps on the grid and also a consistently quality driver.

Very good championship win for Jordan but also a very good performance from Plato winning races 1 & 2 and Jack Goff for coming 2nd in very wet conditions in race 3.

The predictions I made last week were correct.

What you predicted Goff would get a podium :P

[Langdale Forest]

No, I predicted that Jordan would win the championship without winning a race at Brands Hatch and he didn't even get a podium.

Only just got round to watching the season finale. With the exception of some pushing at Oulton Park, Jordan won his title cleanly, and that I think is good news.

Generally a pretty good season, though with the usual caveat about boost levels. It did amuse me to see Shedden winning at Silverstone after all the Honda whinging there about the boost. Other than that, the bright spots were Austin's Rockingham victory (though, other than Knockhill and the Brands opener, he didn't really show the same pace anywhere else), Turkington's return, Tordoff's debut season and Morgan's consistent form. Elsewhere, I thought Aron Smith showed himself a serious contender despite the Ford's lack of early-season pace, Jack Goff deserves a better BTCC opportunity, and Jake Hill could well be a star of the future. Notable disappointments were Motorbase in the first half of the season, Wrathall, Newsham, and above all Collard, who had an awful lot of bad luck but was otherwise blown away by Turkington in just the same way as he was the last time they were team-mates in '06.
