I just watched it(Sky+ed) was a very good race(all 3)

Not sure about the 5 car lenght rule?

But why did the teame take the balast out?(Turner)

Massive damage to Platos car

I guess it was a misunderstadning of the rules - you take the ballast of your finishing position irrespective of a subsequent penalty. rather than taking the ballast of your final position.

saw it on tele today, while the attraction of touring cars is their ability to overtake, there was some seriously amateurish driving.
seems you can just push a car out of the way if you cant overtake it.

Not renalising drivers seems inconsistent with being pedantic with other rules like the safety car.
