BTCC Rounds 16 - 18 Silverstone
Will it or won't it happen?
Will Bartie and / or TOCA allow nut job Neate loose on the track? Will #HARD have fitted the missing elastic band to Nic Hamilton's car? Will Matt Neale be the new improved Matt Neale we saw at Thruxton? Will Turks overtake Ash Sutton to regain the championship lead? Who is Hong Kong Phooey? |

Will Matt Neale suddenly add an extra 'e' to his surname?!
To be fair to him he hasn't had much luck this year either, but he's clearly been in Cammish's shadow. |

let's hope Sutton has a really rotten weekend
and before anyone brings out the forks !!! this would give a real chance to Tingram, Butcher, and Cammish at the title otherwise the gap is simply too big Sutton 209 Turks 193 Tingram 177 Butcher 175 Cammish 167 |

again, look at Motorbase cars, they are sponsorless , Neate's money is very likely financing the other cars too, if Neate goes then Butcher might be gone too

Very true, makes you wonder how much of the team Neates money is paying for

Maybe Bartie will do a "PMR" and bring in drivers with budget for a round or two to plug the gap. |

Try telling my autocorrect, although it can only take some of the blame!

It's time we get rid of the success ballast. In my opinion it's not acceptable to penalise somebody who does better than the rest of the field. I found the Turkington-Sutton situation from R3 laughable when Sutton beeing waved by by almost everyone once again and Turkington struggling because of his win in R2. Something needs to change ...

Is there actually anything that would suggest Neate is to be thrown out by Motorbase or TOCA? I haven't read anything that he'll have his license taken away for now or even that the whole case will be taken further?
Also, it's not exactly the time to just throw out (likely more than) a third of your budget to be honest. Especially if you've just invested heavily in the design and build of three new cars. Unless Neate runs out of interest himself or gets his license taken away for further offences, I would be surprised to see him out before the end of the season. |

Nothing at all but it does make you wonder. Barty's no fool, like you say he's not just going to throw away a large chunk of money after the matter has been settled. At the end of the day its not really reflected badly on the team as such, its not like they told Neate to do it. And TOCA aren't going to get involved unless Neate or Bartrum make a move first.
