Impressive defence from Morgan there.

In other news, awful defence from Morgan, there.

I love the way the Oulton circuit has been producing the great racing and the close quarters of the racing

I love the fact that AJ is better than he has been in the past two meetings with the best drive in the BMW. I am glad that he is back to the old AJ. The only one that has been near him is the Honda of Neal. The best thing about the racing was that driver Sutton. I love the way it went for him to be third and he was never gonna be a quitter to be ahead of the Mercedes he was battling with. I just want to say that I didn't like it when Moffat was putting Sutton on the grass and he was a little bit more defensive than the other ones.

I just hope that Tingram and Colin will be able to bring the cars back to the front and get points for the championship. I just want to know what the Honda was doing so far behind the leaders who were on the first lap of the race were not far behind him

Great first race or what I saw of it on TV. Not sure what ITV are playing at but the camera placement and direction has been appalling so far today. Cutting away from overtakes, completely missing the Ingram/Goff incident and shoving in replays at inappropriate times then cutting away again just as it gets to the interesting bit that necessitated the replay in the first place!

[Akrapovic]

Great Ginetta Juniors race. Priaulx will find himself in a GT3 soon enough.

Red flag in the clios. 2 accidents on lap 1 and a destroyed tyre barrier.

I think these guys are taking the fact that this is a feeder series to the BTCC a little too seriously...

[billy bleach]

Oh dear. Tarkington whinging about lack of straight line speed. Sigh.....

Ingram's mirror was folded in so he had no way of knowing - obviously it wasn't picked up to well from the TV but it's probably more of a racing incident? Though it's hard to tell what distance Goff came from.

In fact I'm considering writing to Jonathan Palmer, requesting that Clearways and Clark are renamed "Matt's favourite punting place" and "where Matt's victims end up face the wrong way" when he retires

Same could be said of Shedden - I've lost count of the number of times that he's pulled that move (more often than not on Turks for some reason) but somehow this always seems to get overlooked for the Hondas.

Wonder if Matt's creeping at the start of R1 also will get overlooked for the THIRD time this year?

So you'll be cheering on the Halfords cars in the next round then? Sounds like you're a fan.

Because of his misfire, not a whinge about parity!

[skells22]

the clios are about to restart, red flag again (I wonder if one of the marshals got the full crash of that as Camera man did miss the start of that)

[S griffin]

I love the racing and the fact that the people who are in the sport are causing the racing to be stopped

[crmalcolm]

Can someone please answer a question regarding the tsl timing.
On the classification, there is a column headed PIC - what is this?

Penalty for Chilton, back of the grid for R2

Shame that. He managed to get from basically last to 19th.

F4 race being a bit messy. This isn't a contact sport guys.

[S griffin]

I just hope that Caroline is not badly injured in the crash he has had

I just want to know what the penalty is for Sonic

Edit: I just heard that Caroline was ok

[Akrapovic]

Yeah that's a bad crash. F4 standards are pretty bad tbh. They're driving like Clios. Ginetta Juniors by far the highest standard of the junior series today.

[skells22]

and once again camera man missed the start of that crash wakey wakey camera men

Thanks - seems obvious now when you look alongside to the Class column!

[Akrapovic]

Hand injury for Caroline.

This is why driving standards in the higher series (BTCC) should be policed better. When you allow drivers to play bumper cars for so long without any repercussions, you set a standard for younger drivers and you tell them this sort of thing is OK. The standards in that F4 race were terrible. Single seater of all things are not for contact driving, and several bump and run passes were attempted.

You kind of expect that level of poor driving in Clios, but F4s need to be cleaner than that.

The Power Maxed Racing driver had been penalised at both Donington Park and Thruxton before being deemed to be at fault for an incident in race one involving the Team HARD Volkswagen of Will Burns.
As per championship regulations, the third strike will drop Chilton to 32nd on the grid for race two, which he had been due to start from 19th spot.

[Akrapovic]

Louise just attempted to interview Plato but ran out of time. As I said in the precious thread, you don't get interviews when you're far off. Now he got near the top 10, they tried to get him one.

Adam Morgan Mercedes on fire at turn 1 on the formation lap.

[skells22]

car on fire and that could lead to a aborted start
