Can't watch today, as am working away, but the grid for race three looks tasty. Two quick Vectras, with two fired-up drivers, on the front row; fast-starting BMW and relatively untried Ford on the second row; then Wrathall and Neal.

Missed race 1, however that was a damn exciting finish to race 2, congrats Jordan

Congrats to Jordan on his race win, great drive but Plato seriously needs sorting out by TOCA. He tries to be a clever sod by trying to back everyone up, Neal taps Plato, Plato gets upset his plan didn't work and blatantly pushes Neal off. Disgusting driving by Plato once again.

And in the real world everyone sees Neal go for a move that was never on in a million years, nearly causing a massive accident! I do think both drivers should be punished as Plato shouldnt have hit Neal back on purpose!

Great to see Andy win though, he seems to have had his share of bad luck this year.

Yeah, it was fairly obvious what Plato was going to do once Neal tapped him. They both ruined their own races so it evens out I think.

Pretty good day's racing altogether.

I'm glad that you saw it exactly the same way that my wife and I did. Mr Moaner from last season now hasn't got a legitimate moan, in fact, the boots on the other foot so to speak (turbo boost limits for the Honda teams). He is just a spoiler because he's not leading and still is continuously beaten by a better team.

Yup then has the cheek to say this...

‎"I am not an angel, but I don't do those sorts of things. Yes I'm aggressive and yes I go for gaps, and yes I might tap someone into a little slow hairpin. Had he given me a little tap in one of the hairpins, I wouldn't really be having this conversation as that happens in touring car races, I've done it, I've had it received, but what you do not do is you just don't do that."


Laughable considering what he did to Flash at Donington and before the Newsham at Brands. the guys a moron likes to give it but cant take it. that makes him a hypocrite as well.

Neal and Plato are absolutley as bad as each other and have both got away with far more than they should have done for a long time, the worst is it seems neither of them can see it and perpetually blame the "other" driver. They both deserve some decent punishments, or theis sort of thing wil happen pretty much everytme they come near each other or anyone else. There are a few other less than saintly drivers out there, but these 2 IMO are by far the worst most persistent offenders and really should know better

I agree. Have both gone unpenalised for yesterday's incident?

By the way, terrible commentary from Toby Moody - I've just watched the coverage. Time for him to go. He just isn't good enough.

Can't see that Matt Neal has much of a brain to go with the brawn he was displaying in the "Olympics" preamble.

a) Stupid to bump Plato,

b) No intent to give the place back - one he was always going to lose with the Stewards if it hadn't all kicked off at the next corner.

Hardly surprising what Plato, who has been guilty of offences as mentioned above, was going to do.

Don't think Plato was backing them up - his car was struggling with the ballast/setup.

Not a great Honda Racing (or Plato) fan, but the low boost they are allowed was making it embarassing on the back straight.

Only Shedden would make a good champion this year - he has definitely been the cleanest quick driver out there.

Let's just all play nicely, we all have opinions and shouldn't publicly air our views on other peoples point of view, even if most of you are always wrong and I'm the only one who knows what I'm talking about as far as "tin top" racing is concerned.

Bad, bad crash at the start of the Ginetta race. Haven't seen urgency in the response to a crash in the BTCC package since Breeze / Proctor in 2009 at Oulton. Let's hope it's not as serious as that.
