Thompson vs Rydell --> I go for Rydell

Hazard · 16 Aug 2005, 20:57 (Ref:1384042)

Well, that was fun. Talk about luck of the draw though.

What was Gow on about? Hmmm, I'm very curious.

Winner World Cup Touring Car Driver 2005: James Thompson

It's a British show so a British driver has to win...

@ people from Yoursportradio.com: Nice radio show!

The repeats have proved unreliable due to the computer system in place and it's reliance on human input, so it seems less confusing just not to repeat it anymore!

If you would like to hear the show, it's going to be a question of recording it on Tuesday nights, or eventually the web teccie may be Podcasting it on the website.

I'm really sorry if this is a bit of a bind for you, but to be honest, we'd like you to be listening in live anyway, so you can join in! Tuesdays at 8pm BST.

Hope to hear from you all soon!

Hi Alan

I spoke to Gary Champion today about the Tenths Radio project - I'll be coming into the studio soon to get things going.

The podcasting aspect of the whole thing is one of the items I'm quite enthusiastic about.

Can I suggest to all the lads (& lasses) looking into this thread to check out my Journal here on Tenths ( http://tentenths.com/forum/journal.p...owjournal&j=32 ) because some pretty exciting things are beggining to happen with the Tenths tie up to Globecast & YourSport.com

But as Alan says KEEP LISTENING IN LIVE AND KEEP CALLING IN AND CONTRIBUTING -

TEN TENTHS & YOUR SPORT LOVES YOU FOR IT !

Hope to speak in person soon Alan.

I'm very curious as to what was said too? Can you enlighten me? Missed it tonight, cleaning car getting ready to sell it.

Les · 17 Aug 2005, 05:37 (Ref:1384286)

he implied that in the next 2 weeks news was going to break about two people that had been discussed. The thing is a lot of drivers were discussed (Menu, Radisich, Aiello, Muller, Neal, Tarquini, Thompson, Smokin Joe, Plato, Harvey, Rydell, Biella, Cleland, Soper, Rouse, Reid, Leslie and a few others).

sceptic · 17 Aug 2005, 06:33 (Ref:1384303)

Let me narrow it down for you.

It is about two drivers who don't currently race as part of the TOCA package. Which leaves Menu, Radisich, Aiello, Tarquini, Thompson, Smokin Joe, Rydell, Biela, Cleland, Soper, Rouse, Reid, Leslie.

Craner Curves · 17 Aug 2005, 11:16 (Ref:1384508)

Cue a mass debate of silly season proportions over the next few weeks.

**touringlegend** · 17 Aug 2005, 11:55 (Ref:1384540)

Here's the first one then..

Thompson & Tarquini to appear in Nordauto Alfa's in BTCC rounds that don't clash with the WTCC ?

Claire · 17 Aug 2005, 12:19 (Ref:1384567)

I thought that he was only referring to those in the semi final, it was hard to make out what he said. I think Jimmy T may come back

Neil Adams · 17 Aug 2005, 16:28 (Ref:1384793)

was nothing about this in todays MN, sounds really intrigueing (sp)

one thought i had was thats now a connection between, nissan - rjn motorsport - the btcc and reid, through reids race in the gts for rjn, so maybe for 06...

would prefer the alfas - and all year tho! how about reid taking mullers vx seat if he goes to wtcc?

Thompson was linked to a VX BTCC return in MN today

Neil Adams · 17 Aug 2005, 17:06 (Ref:1384840)

doh! missed that, cheers for the info

Matt James didn't seem very aware of what Gow was on about either though...so this week's MN won't be much good to you.

Next weeks on the other hand...

I think that was just one of those things. I very much doubt he'll leave becasue of that. It could have happened at VX in the BTCC.

And so was Laurent Aiello.

As for Matt James seeming clueless, he seemed to know about Aiello (after all, he wrote the story in Motorsport News) and Alan even acknowledged that he believed Matt knew one of the two drivers.

[QUOTE=sceptic]As for Matt James seeming cluelessQUOTE]
Don't know who said that, Sceptic, but they must be thick as a plank. Matt James's reporting of the BTCC is the work of a proper journalist seeking out proper hard news stories. We're lucky to have someone involved in our sport who hasn't lost the art of journalism. And a journalist with passion at that!

MN's coverage of the BTCC is top rate.

I agree. Matt is an excellent journalist, and passionate about the BTCC.

Hazard · 18 Aug 2005, 17:46 (Ref:1385718)

Love it when people don't understand...

I did not say Matt James was clueless!!! Matt James was on the phone to Gow on TTT and Gow was arguing that James was unaware of the driver announcement Gow was implying...James said he'd phone him tomorrow.

So what I MEANT was...James didn't seem to know...I'm sure he'll know by now, and so next weeks MN will probably give a better indicator of whatever this meant.

Please make sure you know what you're saying before you start insulting people...if you're too lazy to scroll up that's not my problem!

Back to the TTT World Cup side of things how about the Winner -James Thompson be awarded the prize of driving the Podium truck around the Brands GP curcuit with all the drivers on the back before the last race of the season ala Matt Neal at Donnington last year?

We were all lucky to escape with minor injuries last year - do you think this is wise?!!!

I knew it was bumpy but I didn't realise that the tour was that rough!
