    Yes, but is the way of modern sport, and especially motorsport. Nascar have the Chase, BSB have a similar 'play off' type final rounds. I remember back in 2009 the Trackrod ran a double points final round decider between Cronin and Mark Higgins; even though it wasn't double the distance of the other rounds. Cronin won the event, but both drivers had the same results/ wins. Cronin won the BRC because of the 'double points' final round.

    Saying that, back in 1997?? the Pirelli was split into 2 rounds.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    A very big accident when the organisers speed limit on the recce is 30 mph (48 kph). Maybe that's what prompted the CofC to post an official warning about driving standards during the recce on the event notice board on Tuesday evening.

    Maybe I spoke too soon, it's possible that it was even before recce, not completely clear

    Cronin clearly been pushing hard. Did this with an off on SS7.



    He's pulled a decent gap on the other two. Edwards impressing again but Ahlin looks like he's just staying on the safe side to ensure the points ...
