Have we seen the last of Adam Jones? Unless he gets more funds?

From what I make out of BTC Racing messers Stockon and Leason DNF Race 1 but whereas both missed out on Race 2 atleast Chris got out for Race 3 (only to get a DNF). What happened to the two in Race 2 and Nick for Race 3?

John George and Eoin Murray were absentees when they missed Race 2 and 3 respectively.

I do notice though the races the above drivers miss do all follow DNF's so perhaps the teams couldn't fix problems in time?

Nick had terminal engine problem in 1st race
Eoin started race 2 but also had engine expire after overheating in race1 (and he had lent his spare to Marsh)
Adam was never going to do Thruxton nor Croft

No you havn't
He is missing yesterdays race and Croft because of GR Asia WTCC commitments
He will be at Oulton with a new engine and a spare
although funds are still tight,the early season performances have made a difference to the funding and the team are fairly confident of doing the rest of the season

That's good news! Thanks :)

what happened in the seat cupra championship?

Based on what i saw on the highlights, i wish race three had gone on longer - it would have been a nail biting ending to race 3!!

Great wins again from Fabrizio and VXR - the horrors of a dodgy car and post Muller divorce of last season are long gone!

It's nice to see the main protagonists not verbally going at each other - full respect all round.

First visit to Thruxton and it was great. I really love how close you can get without huge metal barriers ruining your photos!
Great racing all round, impressed with Hughes performances. Finished 12th from 22nd in Race 1, then 2x 9th places shows he and the car still have some potential to get good top 10 finishes. Looking forward to visiting again later in the year. Only took 15 minutes to get out!

I still stick by my prediction of Gio winning the title.

And as for that Porsche crash, bloody hell. Ive never seen anything like it. Can't believe that knowone was injured. Look how close the 2 people are on the path....

good day at the office for Jonathan Adam with 2 wins, rest can be seen at http://www.seatsportuk.co.uk/sport/ dont really care who was behind him
:champion: long way to go still :eek:

Blimey that Porsche crash looks nasty.

Big respect for the photos - I would have been running away, certainly by photo 11, probably a whole lot sooner!

As for the two people on the path they were very lucky indeed. I walked up that path on the Saturday and I have to say there is not a lot of width there to try to get out of the way so you'd just have to run up the path and hope you were running faster than the porsche, or any of the bits which are flying off it.

I guess they were watching thinking the fence would stop the Porsche, then were surprised when it bounced over.

I assume Kelvin is ok? He must have been pretty shaken up by that.
