Very impressed by Ant Whorton-Eales - needs to stay in the BTCC.

Tom Ingram on the podium from 27th.

Thompson in the points too, so looks like he's starting to gel with the CC.

I swear to god, if BMR win this championship now, it'll be a joke.

Great race though, Cook was so unlucky the SC came out when it did, otherwise he might have had Sutton. Shoutout to Ant Whorton-Eales, that was a superb drive.

Incidents in the last 2 laps have generally been dealt with by leaving the car there. The SC was called extremely quickly, compared with the previous off where they allowed a significant amount of time to self recover the car.

Not really that fussed, but it was an oddly quick reaction. They clearly wanted the 2 lap sprint to the finish.

That Black and White livery is awesome. I love that the driver suit is greyscale as well.

Previous incidents, the cars drove away themselves. It was very obvious that Collard wasn't going to do the same.

Why? They've done nothing wrong and Sutton is obviously one of the best if not the best driver out of the current crop.

It was going to be deployed if JP hadn't managed to get his car away; he did although I wonder if dragging it all the way back to the pits added to the damage significantly?

If JPs car had been stranded and then hit by Collard or Jelley we would have had potentially serious injuries - or as turned out if AN Other had hit Collards stricken car. Safety car was the right call in my opinion.

Any word from JP or BMR on that accident? Looked like a driver error to me but haven't seen any angles - only the in car footage.

If Sutton does win it'll be a combination of his superb talent and all the good work done in 2016 by Turks, JP and the engineers at BMR. They had sussed the car by Oulton that year so know how to get it to work on the tracks we run from Oulton onwards (or most of them from Oulton onwards). They've still not cracked Donny or Thruxton, and I do wonder if CT had stayed for 2017 if he would have made the difference...

Subaru looking very second hand still... although I think the bits that matter are closer to being sorted.

WTF is a diamond double hour?

Why do they say it’s an hour race? At 1:56 a lap it’s going to be 40 minutes 🤨

For Cammish, he should realise that headlights on won’t make the car quicker. Alternator has to do more work!
