good results for SEAT

Is it just me?? or is touring car racing getting a bit scrappy???

there seems to be a lot of personal bitching between certain drivers (SEAT AND HONDA) and some seemingly dirty driving on the track>

Perhaps the course clerk should opt for the same rules as Aussie V8 Supercars. Rubbing is racing, but blatant f*cking about will result in a black flag and drivethrough, or reduction in championship points.

LOL the vauxhalls disappearing into the field, there has to be a caption contest there. Well done SEAT.

I thought Plato was a touch overzealous in his defending in the essess

Good result for SEAT tho..

I'd like to see any incident where two cars collide and it's not 'rubbing' that they make a snap & irreversible decision to drive thru penalty.

that way we get lots of rubbing, and nobody aiming for the seat's sticky out rear wheels.

Best racing on telly bar none. Enjoyed every min off it. We need Seat to finish with a flurry of wins.

I find driving another car off the road is not rubbing, its sheer desperado tactics...

seems the astras had sticky out wheels today too, christ how he managed to hold that astra straightish and get 4th inc a spin i'll never know, hat of to the fella.

absolutely LOVED it today - edge of the sofa throughout all 3 races.

Matt Neil - what a plonker - i don't think plato was out of line at all, couldnt really do much IMO. Same as Fiona Leggate and the Gavin Smith incident. Hats off to him tho - he kept the car going for a further 2 laps wobbling all over the place!

Well done SEAT - and bring on more wins like this!

Start watching the V8 supercars.
600bhp Ford falcon vs Holden Commodore.
Aussie style barbaric wheel to wheel racing. Culminating with the Bathurst 1000.

BTCC is good, been following it for nearly 20 years. But not a patch on the V8's

Matt Neil had 2nd place in the bag so he should have backed off(team should have told him that)

IMO Plato was not at fault and after seeing tv replays I think Neil will be made to eat his words

 

[CUPRACAR]

I think Neil will be made to eat his words

Again
