Snetterton
Some really entertaining racing so far!
Well done to the Airwaves Fords, about time we saw them towards the front.
All this complaining about top speed from Neal and Shedden is getting very tiresome however. Every time they speak they mention it, funny how Honda's got 1st and 2nd in race 2 and a 3rd in race 1!
As it stands we have Neal, Jordan and Shedden 1-2-3 in the championship. These Honda's really have a disadvantage don't they

Not so much action as poor driving. Maybe the drivers have started a drinking game - every time a Honda driver whinges about boost they have a drink. Can't think of any other excuse for the poor driving standards.

No mention of the 'boost' Gordon? Is that because you won. Will be lucky if you don't get DQ!
Think he and Neal should try looking at the facts. There was a Honda on the podium for all 3 races plus there are Honda's 1-2-3 in the championship by quite a distance now.
It's clear they have a straight line disadvantage but the way they bag on about it you would think they were finishing at the back every race.
BIG well done to the Airwaves team as they had a great day!

Is it me or are the NGTC cars slower through the corners than the Super2000 cars ever were? They just look so slow and cumbersome to me, it completely ruins the spectacle.

A lot of members making statements about the Honda drivers moaning about turbo boost. I've never heard Andrew Jordan or Jeff Smith complain about it. It is a fact that they have a lower boost than any other car in the championship and it appears that a lot of people commenting have very short memories. A few years ago I can remember getting very tired of some drivers complaining that it wasn't fair because some cars had turbos fitted whilst their own cars didn't, this came at a time when the driver doing the most moaning had won eight out of twenty four races. Strangely it appears that those who are making these statements are supporters of that particular driver.
In my opinion all cars should have the same level of turbo boost, then it would be down to the skill, abilities and tactics of the drivers and their respective engineers/teams.Nissan Racing Micra - :smokin:

Newsham looked rather erratic in pushing Neal off in that race, too — yes, Neal had turned him around at the second corner, but that seemed down to typical first lap congestion. In fact, I think Neal is driving very cleanly indeed this year. Some of his overtaking moves yesterday were outstanding.

The boost rules are ruining my interest in the series. With some cars being alllowed to run higher boost it clearly means that cars aren't all running to the same regulations. I don't see why Honda are even bothering to give the championship their suppport when they are being penalised for buliding the best car.
What was ever wrong with racing when the fastest car won? Manipulting the series rules in order to get the championship to go down to the final round is just poor.Tazio 14/3/2015: I'll give every member on this forum 1,000.00 USD if McLaren fails to podium this season!
When I go to WRC event, I want to see the best drivers as always. If I want to see some national drivers, I can go to some other less popular event.. Just simple.
