2014 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship

Gio and Morgan both on soft for race 1. Could give them a chance of a podium.

Large off for a several drivers at Paddock Hill Bend!

Abbot, Austin, Neal are all in trouble... I believe also one of the BMR VW Passats was involved.
Stockton and Sheddon are also in trouble... Sheddon's Honda is now a Hatchback again;P

 

[Bo]

That went well.

Was watching F1 coverage and return to find a safety car...

Gio had a cracking start, went up the inside of Shedden, he drifted the the right a bit too much, and then hell broke loose.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Shedden never admits responsibility, he pushed Gio into the pitwall and somehow feels he is innocent!

 

[Scaniabebe]

Ooo, possibility that Tordoff could be at another team next year!

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

I think BTCC dropped the ball today, having race 1 clashing with the Grand Prix is only going to cost them viewers.

 

[Clark]

It would've been finished in time it wasn't for the safety car.

There is always a safety car in BTCC

F1 on TV, BTCC on laptop.

MGs swapped just before the SC... Probably reacting to Turkington's pace.

 

[Scaniabebe]

Warren Scott's Volkswagen is dropping fluids. You can see it on the track, possibly is only coolant.
As it's being towed away, it's still dropping some fluids...

 

[Scaniabebe]

So, Colin Turkington is BTCC Champion...

 

[Bo]

So, the iffy bit over, now we can have R2 and R3 war.

I was rather looking forward to it going down to the last race.. Ideally the last 3 laps

 

[Jimlaad43]

Anyone got a video of the crash?

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Matt Neal is out for the rest of day, he's been flown to hospital with rib injuries following the crash caused by his own teammate.

[paulmac2k9]

Menu crashes out in the same place as in round 1 of the season.

 

[Ninners]

Plato takes out Turkington...


EDIT: Jackson spins out of the lead... Collard leads now and SC out.

 

[Jimlaad43]

WTF Plato. and WTF Jackson?

 

[Scaniabebe]

Off goes Turkington into the gravel...
And Jackson is off in the Focus!

 

[MatskiMonk]

C'mon Rob!

 

[Ninners]

Turkington has only had 3 non finishes this season. Two of those retirements have been from Plato taking him out.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Tense stuff up front

 

[Scaniabebe]

Adam Mordan has taken the lead!
C'mon Morgan! That A-Class deserves to win!

EDIT: Morgan's off!

 

[Ninners]

Noooo Morgan

BUT. Plato could be penalized for his contact with Turks so if Adam hangs onto 2nd he could inherit a win.

 

[paulmac2k9]

I think it will be Plato sent to the back of the grid for the last race. Not sure they will penalise the race result.

Gutted for Morgan losing the win. But 2nd for him is not bad.

 

[Bo]

My urge to punch Plato has just grown a little more.

Jason did the same in 2012 to Newsham...

For me that one was a very sour moment.
