That MG looks hooked up, if he can win race 3, and Jordan doesn't score the points, damn this is tense, MG must be annoyed with all the drama mid-way through the season which cost them points.

If Jordan can finish 8th he will win the title, if he finishes 9th, he'll be level with Plato(if he takes max points again) but Plato will have more wins.

This will be interesting.

This last race is going to be good!

What time is it scheduled?
 
5pm roughly isn't it?
 
Plato has a wingman in Tordoff, Shedden has Neal, but he's at the back, so MG have a good chance here, depends on Jordan and the reverse grid.
 
And Sheds gets R3 pole. Wow. This is going to be epic.
 
17:04 is the official race start time.
Looking at the weather, I'm so glad I'm not there.
 
I really wish I was there, little bit of rain isn't enough to ruin my day!

I have marshaled in similar conditions to this, heavy rain and really cold. Trust me, it is horrible.
 
Almost every race I've been to this year has been wet. Putting the tent up in the rain at Le Mans was probably the worst. I've never been too phased by the rain though.

I wish there were more entries in the carrera cup as well. It would be great to watch with a hefty grid.
 
30 minutes to go. The weather is turning to dry-ish greasy, probably MG's worst conditions. If Jordan gets into the points, and I think a top 10 is doable, he will probably be champion. I have never felt this tense before!
 
I think Jordan has to finish 8th or better. As much as I'd love for him to do it I just cant see it happening.
 
Really? Jordan only has to get 8th or better if Plato gets a clean sweep of the 22 points (win, fastest lap and lead). With the conditions now well against MG, I would say it's wide open for this last race.
 
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what was said, I could be wrong though.
 
Yes, that is what will have to happen, but I just can't see Jordan going down without a fight. There is no way the MG's can dominate, or realistically win this one, so It's all up to Andy to get his elbows out. I know he can do it!
 
He'll definitely give it his all. Just got to hope he doesn't get caught up in any battles low down in the pack.
 
Let's hope not. After the last race, Aron Smith got called to the stewards because of the clash. He said it was Collard's fault for taking a quali line, but Dick Bennett simply replied "Specsavers":lol:

This is the first race of the year where I've missed Chris James and Andy Neate.
 
Ha, Jordan made a good point. Hopefully people go easy on him and let him pass!
 
Best case scenario is for Jordan to win this race with Plato 2nd. Then later this evening the stewards can reveal that Jordan is excluded for having too much turbo boost :)
 
This is the best end to the championship for some time, the leader at the, the contenders at the sharp end, this will be epic






Ok, time to admit, I'm a Plato fan, but I'll be happy if Jordan wins the title, because he deserves it this year.
 
I'm also a big MG and Plato fan. If Jordan cant do it I hope Plato does.
 
Finally another Plato fan, he's actually pretty good, just that he gets into incidents abit too often, but I think he drives much better.
 
Come on Jordan, show us what you're made of.
