Hondas promise..

**touringlegend** · 14 Jul 2003, 18:23 (Ref:661024)

Honda have promised all 3 of their drivers an NSX each the first time that they finish 1-2-3 in a race!!

Apparently, Matt was on the radio at Rockingham to see where the heck Tom was, sadly for Matt, Alan and Tom, he was in 4th!

Now THAT is an incentive! That's a great idea. I wonder if the Vauxhall boys got anything for all those 1-2-3-4 finishes in 2001 lol!

tecmerc · 14 Jul 2003, 22:18 (Ref:661218)

yeah,probably a Vauxhall Corsa

It'll never happen... Neal's car will break down, Morrison will drive his car into the gravel and Chilton will just be too slow...

That's why they've made the offer!

So when has Morrison DRIVEN his car into the gravel this year then?

BootsOntheSide · 15 Jul 2003, 10:45 (Ref:661595)

So that's why they hired Tom Chilton as opposed to someone slighly faster and more experienced

Think most of you are jumping on that bandwagon that like's to think Tom Chilton's useless..remember that 1-2-4 at Rockingham?? Well it so nearly could of been so more expensive for Honda..

Silverstone, race two. When he tried to shut a door that he shouldn't have. He was DRIVING the car at the time, wasn't he?

While I think Chilton's got a reasonable amount of talent, the boy, unfortunately, is his own worse enemy. He thinks he's better than he actually is ...

Jimeth · 15 Jul 2003, 12:49 (Ref:661746)

EXACTLY!! hit the nail on the head there

He had a full season in a top car last year and ended up second from last. He has been driving one of the quickest cars this year, mostly without ballast, and has had just one reasonable result. If Gavin Pyper, Rob Collard, (or many other drivers) was in that Honda then they would have definately had a 1, 2, 3 by now.

Chilton can hardly be called "slow"!

Peter S · 15 Jul 2003, 15:36 (Ref:661927)

That is the problem at the moment with touring cars, there is a lot of waste of cars. I mean there is only Matt Neal who is anywhere as near as good as James Thompson and Yvan Muller. To me that is the reason why Vauxhall have run away with championship. If you had some decent drivers in the MG's and the other two hondas then the championship would be a lot better for it. If Andy Priaulx had stayed then the championship would have been very interesting. Morrison is ok but nothing to shout about and Chilton is just a spoilt little rich boy who just cries when things dont go his way. Chilton has never done a thing to show signs that he is worthy of a drive and is the pure definition of a pay driver. Honda wont be giving any NSX for as long as he is in the team. Get a decent driver in the third Honda. Just imagine what Pyper could do with that third Honda.
