Best of the rest
It's obviously Plato vs Giovanardi for the title, but the battle for 3rd is pretty close too.
Matt Neal was looking good until his Brands Hatch disaster, now team mate Shedden's ahead of him. Turkington's still in with a good chance, just a point behind Matt, and if Darren Turner has a good weekend and a little bit of luck he could even leapfrog the lot of them.
Who do you think will end up "best of the rest" this year?Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

Shedden has a very healthy 16 point lead over Neal and 17 points over Turkington. I feel on balance Shedden deserves to be 3rd this season, he has driven exceedingly well all year. I reckon Turkington might just grab 4th place from Neal.

May depend on if they can get round the set up problems TD had on Neals car all weekend, certainly showed in the last race when he was going into certain corners.
Jim Raynor will be returning soon!

It is deffinitely one from the two TD drivers. I think Turks is out. Though I think, providing the standings on btccpages.com has been updated, he could yet nick 4th spot.

Me too Iain - and if it does, it might knock SEAT a bit down the order...although they said their car wouldn't suit Thruxton last time and ended up winning anyway!!
Think Shedden and Turkington have been the best of the rest this season - with reliability and luck on their side this year, it could have been a 4-way title race! And some experts even tipped Turner for the title this year, maybe next year he will be more of a threat?!It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Indeed, since round 1 Turks has achieved a fastest time 8 times and Flash' 6 times. And if I am right nobody has achieved fastest times more times than either.

Sorry but I can't ever see darren turner winning the title. He is a very good driver but he lets people past too easily. When i was a snetterton at the esses he did not even try and defend when a couple or drivers went to pass him. If he gets a bit more aggressive in that respect I think he could challenge. We shall see
Look out I have been to the Jason Plato school of driving. I take no prisoners!!
