2012 Drivers excuses

[Tixy54]

I just come up with what I think the best drivers excuse will be, ahead of the series opener on Sunday.

"I was dazzled by the paint job on the other car and swerved into him...!"

"Because of the petrol drivers strike we had to go carefully to make sure we finished the race."

"If I didn't have a turbo, like last year, I wouldn't have been going so fast, and, therefore I could have avoided the crash."

"Oi, you little toad, come back here with my walking frame."

Your contributions ARE required to make me giggle.

"It wasn't my fault I ended up in the gravel trap, my satnav said to go straight on at Druids!"

[HondaRacingFan]

"He had a "If you can read this, your to close sticker" on his read bumper and i couldn't read it so moved closer but i didn't see him braking"

[F1boat]

Plato will surprise us all. :D

[Tixy54]

Plato will surprise us all. :D

Did he say that?

"The team are useless, the car is terrible, the victory was purely down to my incredible talent, so I would like to dedicate the win to myself,"

[HondaRacingFan]

i got one for Chris James.

"i saw the pretty lights flashing and i was put in a trance"

[AndyRAC]

I ran out of talent...... ;)

[HondaRacingFan]

HAHAHA!!! :p

[Tixy54]

It reminds of Casey Stoners comment to Valentino Rossi when Rossi took him out:- "Your ambition outweighed your talent, mate"

" I couldn't do anything I just hit a patch of oil" (Seems appropriate today)

[MAX_THRUST]

JP, "he left me no room on the inside" and then later when he got passed he said, " that's how you let someone pass". I love JP but had to laugh, the big difference second time around was they were not at the start of the race and three wide. JP could have backed out of it..........hahahahaha. He's a race car driver so good on him for not backing out. Newsham could be fun this year. I can see JP and Newsham becoming the new JP and Matt Neal.

[MAX_THRUST]

I turned right and the car went left....no your honour I wasn't Pi**ed.

After todays racing at Oulton Park how about, "Sorry I was trying to avoid that other blokes windscreen..!"

A very legitimate excuse, as it happens!

Less so is one I think a lot of BTCC drivers now would go for: 'The driver with whom I was about to make contact as a result of my driving didn't get out of the way.'

"The team are useless, the car is terrible, the victory was purely down to my incredible talent, so I would like to dedicate the win to myself,"

Would this comment refer to any one particular driver?

"I was too busy trying to remember all my sponsors that I missed my braking point. KX Momentum Tesco"

Funny how "Tesco" are often in the media for losing money/the wrong reasons but they can afford to sponsor a motorsport team.

Funny how you haven't a clue about business, and that a budget to run the entire BTCC grid would be a drop in the ocean and not even show up on Tesco's balance sheet....

Seriously, it's tiny money. Really tiny money. Less money than one of their stores will make in one week!

Hmm... I wonder who would be arrogant enough to say that in Touring Cars. According to how these two have been acting lately-Chris James and Mat Jackson! :p

Funny how I never claimed to be a businessman. I was pointing out what's out there in the media and playing devils advocate, not being the devil himself.

It informs of Casey Stoners thoughts to Valentino Rossi when Rossi took him out:- "Your aspirations outweighed your skills, mate"
