The marshals will miss him, he was always guaranteed to give them some vehicle recovery practice.

Jade Edwards sponsors will miss him, he could be sure to get her sponsors on tv for a crash.

hopefully BTC will get a better driver, she is at the back while her team mates get podiums on regular basis

Remember they had Crees signed at the start of the year too...

I think that's probably it now in terms of the championship. Even if Turkington were to win race two and Sutton not score, it's very unlikely Turkington would get fifth in the reversed grid race (and Sutton no-score again) with maximum ballast. Ingram and Hill now out of it, and Josh Cook looking like he might jump up to third overall if he wins race two, which will probably be a cracker with Turkington, Ingram and Hill fighting through to the front.

I was also pleased to see Jack Goff pull off one of my favourite overtakes on Rory Butcher. Wide into Paddock Hill Bend and on the curbs, get more traction out there than the driver ahead on the tighter line, and then switch back to the inside up Hailwood Hill and go down the inside into Druids. Beautiful pass, classic Brands Hatch.

What a mental Porsche race.

Good riddance to Andy Neate. Didn't even watch race 1, kept an eye on timing could tell from that it would have been a procession

Headed to Formula One next year.

That's it for Tingram gettting 2nd ...

Robshillito1990 · 24 Oct 2021, 13:42 (Ref:4079711)

Race director being an absolute ****** restarting that with marshalls on track

That was very dangerous, with recovery vehicles on trackside. Totally irresponsible of race control. Taking risks with marshals lives for the sake of live tv.

Robshillito1990 · 24 Oct 2021, 13:55 (Ref:4079715)

As far as finales and seasons of btcc go. This is the most boring and forgettable for years.

Robshillito1990 · 24 Oct 2021, 13:57 (Ref:4079716)

Team HARD really should just give up.

porsche962fan · 24 Oct 2021, 13:58 (Ref:4079717)

Boardley not to return , means one Infiniti seat open

It means 1 TBL available, the car might not be for sale.

CroftPilgrim · 24 Oct 2021, 14:09 (Ref:4079721)

Ash Sutton had a jump start. Not picked up by the officials. Hmmmm

Robshillito1990 · 24 Oct 2021, 14:12 (Ref:4079722)

Why all of a sudden is Gilham there in a laser tools jacket at the end of every race? Maybe concentrate on his own Cupra (or poopra with the lack of development there's clearly been) project and maybe then they'd get decent results.

porsche962fan · 24 Oct 2021, 14:13 (Ref:4079723)

Sutton 336

Turkington 306
Cook 292
Tingram 285
Hill 281

looks like Turks is secured in 2nd and the only battle is for 3rd..

A "Team HARD" Infiniti winning the championship... imagine that a few years ago!

Evantra · 24 Oct 2021, 14:15 (Ref:4079725)

Well sounds like Ash wants his future in the BTCC for the foreseeable future.

I've always said that about the GP layout. It never really brings the usual exciting racing. Overtaking seems much less prevalent on that layout. For what is always built up as the best event of the year, its often the least for action.

pimmy · 24 Oct 2021, 14:18 (Ref:4079727)

It's been a masterclass in consistency by Sutton this year.
