For those that missed out... Incidents:
Race 1: Pinkney & Turner have a coming together on the way to Island Hairpin, not sure what exactly happened but pinkney crabs the car back home with a broken track rod, and turners car had a broken front suspension.
Allison has a moment coming through druids, and slams into the tyre wall, heavy damage.
Race 2 start.. Blanckley turns into Pinkney just before the turn into the first corner, pinkney spins, collects hughes, pinkneys car heavily damaged, the front right wheel torn off, and damage to the rear aswell, hughes quite badly damaged too, Erkut crashed aswell so probably got caught up in it somewhere as he took out the camera man! On the restard Howell over cooks it and also crashes at lodge, hitting the wall side on and battering yet another Toledo.
Race 3: Matt Neal spins after trying to pass plato on the first corner, has a tank-slapper, collects turkington, and forces Jodan to swerve out the way which put Giovanardi in the barriers. Neal retires after, and Colin ended up in the gravel as his car was steering itself. Giovanardi comes in after a couple of laps as the radiator had gone. Jordan continues with bent rear upright/suspension and finished in the points.COMING SOON . . . b2 Original Teile

If Plato and Gio have a bad weekend at Donnington and Neal or Turkington win 2 of the 3 races then maybe they would be in the title fight, but otherwise no.

Got some good video coverage though.
Overall it was a good event. Watched race 1 at Knickerbrook, race2 at Clay Hill and race 3 at Old Hall. Saw Neal get his tank slapper and collect Turkington. The some good racing throughout the field, Erkut and Leggate, Stockton and Bell. Kerry's BMW looked a bit more on the pace, faster than Pocklington. The Alfa's looked fast but Pinkney didn't get any luck. Marsh overtook a few cars in race 3 and was looking like he would pass Bell for 10th before he retired.Tazio 14/3/2015: I'll give every member on this forum 1,000.00 USD if McLaren fails to podium this season!

What a great day out, My first Touring Car event and it's certainly better than watching it on tv.
Brilliant race from Matt to hold off Plato in the 3rd race, the second was a bit of a letdown as the safety car did as many laps. But all in all a cracking day out and will definately be back next year.
Watched the first on Clay Hill near the bridge, second at Cascades, and the third at Knickerbrook.

It was a six of one, half a dozen of the other incident. Both drivers were dicing for position in a tight pack heading for the first corner and they got tangled up, its just a shame it was in the way they did. Had it been dry, the impact with the wall probably wouldn't have been as bad as it was.

Great to see Martyn Bell picking up his first point of the season in Race 3. Thoroughly deserved for Martyn and his hard working team!
Oli vs Paddon is an interesting fight eh
