Yes. Extremely eventful races so far, with the championship advantage swinging first in Shedden's direction after Turkington got pushed out of race one, then back to Turkington after a very similar incident put paid to Shedden's challenge in race two. In neither case did it especially look like anyone's fault. Then Turkington's drive through the field in race two was quite superb.
Nick Foster is on pole for race three, which might be interesting. Aron Smith looked decidedly angry after contact with Foster took him out at the end of race two, but it was Smith's own fault, so hopefully no penalty for Foster. Adam Morgan and Tom Ingram going well also, as are Collard and Austin. Menu, by contrast, has no pace at all. Marc Hynes showed well initially, but race two degenerated into a decidedly ham-fisted effort.

I am just catching up now.
Wow what a first race.
I feel for Austin, he was on for a win, given all that happened.
Seemed to be alot of chaotic action, Shedden and Jordans contact seemed unnecessary. Although it didn't work out to bad for Shedden.
What a battling train behind Plato in that race.
That was the danger for Turkington being in that sort of battling train.
Sad for Tordoff too
Great first race anyway.
Well done to Neal & Austin great races from those two.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

I agree.
I am onto Race Two now.
Shedden seemed unfortunate at the start with Austin?? losing control and knocking him round.
Shame for Jordan
Another decent race.

Another cracking race. Knockhill is a great circuit. The undulation and layout lead to alot of side by side action.
Nice to see Collard win.
Foster was getting really feisty against Turkington. I bet hearts were in mouthI still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

Yes! Good effort by Foster not to get shuffled right down through the pack after he dropped to fourth. Excellent defence by Newsham, and pleasing to see Menu come alive in the final race. What was Plato thinking of, though, in taking out Austin?
And, at the end of it all, Turkington rightfully ends up still well on top.
