BTCC Silverstone 2011 - the Finale!

[Allyc85]

So whos your money on for the title?

I want Shedden to win it, but I just get the feeling that somehow Plato will sneak it!

Its a tight call but my head says neal but my heart says jackson with the top 3 having contact between them due to battling to hard.

Great news to also have another car on the grid with throney motorsport with the insgnia and a welcome return for james thompson in the 3rd motorbase focus should be a cracking weekend of racing.

Great to see you on here chap

Its certainly going to be anything but dull isnt it, I can imagine tempers flaring well before the end of the day!

[MG CHRIS]

Well i thought i better join up. Intresing a post on pH has got a picture of 3 honda civics with the 3rd car being number 00 muller so could be a 31 cars for the final.

Except that:

1) it's a road car with stickers, a roll cage & 3 doors
2) the 'muller' is a photoshop

I did notice that after i posted it good wind up mind

Hoping it will be Sheddon as im bored of Plato moaning or saying he has no chance of the title to make Toca reduce the turbo boost!

I dislike Shedden intently after the way he barged Boardman around at Brands at the start of the season. Plato is aggressive but at least he normally gets his nose as far as the rear 3/4 before pushing people out of the way, Shedden just kept nudging people from the rear so that they understeered off.

Fp1 has just finished and Chilton was fastest with 3 Fords seeming to show what a power track this is.

Unfortunately the Insignia didnt get out, but they are hoping to have it running in a later session.

Practice times from both sessions are interesting. The non-turbo cars are absolutely nowhere in FP2. Even Liam Griffin was quicker in the second session than MacDowall and the BMWs.
