    Some very exciting racing at Donington. Thought the driving at the original start of race three was less than impressive, though. On the face of it conditions were no worse than we've seen at a lot...

    Yes I do.

    Not the worst I've seen in that time. The accident at this year's Goodwood Members' Meeting, where a car ended up in the (thankfully empty) spectator tunnel, was just as frightening.

    Indeed. As for what those changes should be, if it's not deemed a suitable site for a camera stand, I'd say that area ought not to contain any spectators either, unless a tall fence is put in.

    Goodness me. Can't help but feel that Snetterton needs to make some safety-related changes along the pit straight after today. Not just Hunter Abbott's frightening accident, but also the then leader...

    Yes, it's unnecessary. A shame, as I'm otherwise enjoying the BTCC this year more than I have for a very long time. A terrific field and largely clean racing.

    However, whether Thruxton, after the...

    Exactly — and that bone-headed sections of the electorate are perfectly happy in being complicit in doing so, without any thought as to the wider consequences. Yes, that does mean the likes of some...

    There's no question in this instance of the government helping F1. This is about the BBC.

    Well, the relationship between New Labour and Murdoch was undoubtedly unhealthy as well. But it is surely obvious that, unlike then, we now have in power a government ideologically opposed in its...

    If any of you UK viewers voted Conservative either in 2010 or this year, you might like to consider that you're partly to blame. It's purely because the BBC is under ideological pressure to cut costs...

    Indeed. I would have thought this to be a case where the terms of the TBL system ought to end up with the team out on its ear.

    No surprise after recent events that Infiniti have withdrawn their factory support for the BTCC team. What an utter, unmitigated farce. I've no idea why they got involved in the first place — for a...

    Not just for F1, but all the FIA world championships. Drastic cost-cutting is needed across the board if they are not to stagnate completely.

    BTCC 2015 Rounds 4-6: Donington Park

    Time, belatedly, to start a thread for today's BTCC races. Good race one, I thought — some very clean battling in places, even if the field became rather strung out. Plato looked to be in a class of...
