Seatfreak, there is no questioning how much you support Seat, but do you think that slagging off a fellow driver in the series in a national news paper is a professional thing to do?
I think some of your points are valid, but if you remember Matt Neal won the first title by finishing almost if not all the races, therefore he can't have been bashing people left right and centre.
However I do agree that Matt has his fare share of dirting driving moves, but who doesn't, I just think that Jason needs to use his head, as a role model, and not slag off drivers when things go wrong, he had a bad weekend, but he'll be back for Donny.
All I want to see as a fan of the touring cars is a little more professionalism, and as a friend of Tom, I find insults in the national press a little too much.Erik Edman - 35 yard screamer - am I seeing things?

But to make debate's about the rights and wrongs of a racing move fairer and give your good friend Tom a chance to answer the accusations, it may be a good idea for The Sun to publish a small article giving ANY driver Jase' is criticising that chance to reply. Like Casio, The Sun only sponsor the team. They have no reason to act all partisan.
But as it happens my only 'sensible' view is that I don't think it matter greatly at the end of the day. Because Tom's 7th in race 2 beat JP's 9th and Tom's 4th beat JP's 2pts.Manufacturers Champs (06'), Teams Champs (07')

I have to say I am getting fed up of the slanging matches.... it's as if it is orchestrated.
Last year it was the Neals v Plato this year Plato v Chilton....
grow the up the lot of themI've got friends racing all over the world.... good luck to you all.

Neal was only outside the top 10 on 3 occasions in his two championship winning years, and they were retirements. Granted today's grids are larger and more competitive, but Giovanardi was only outside the top 10 twice last year (http://www.btccaction.co.uk/drivers/...di_results.php) and lower than fifth 5 times. Combined with 10 wins.
Thus Jason Plato will not be 2008 champion already, in my opinion.

Alan Gow would need to suspend VXR for a season before we see a level playing field achieved and before we see a champion that doesn't drive for VXR in a time where VXR have a very good car.
So whatever Jase' says in his column that offends you I suggest perhaps you think "On the other hand, for all his criticisms will Jason Plato actually reap any rewards this season?", because for as long as VXR are racing I just don't think anyone has a chance; most of all Jase'.Manufacturers Champs (06'), Teams Champs (07')

Im sorry, but VXR and Seat are both manufacturers, it would be unfair to suspend VXR for a season, thats just an unbeleivably stupid Idea, If Seat want to get anywhere, they need better drivers, a car with proper testing, and throw a little more money in. This is touring cars, not F1, its not as if they need to throw in Rediculous amounts, what seems to them anyway.

Considering at Donington last year, Plato dominated and Giovanardi had a shocker, don't rule out Plato this season, yet.
Great speeds. Did you miss WRC machinery on these roads?
