Really pleased to see Jake at the sharp end and Cainey as the fastest Ford. Good lad is Cainey, be super to see him permanently back in BTCC if budget is doable.

JP picked up 4 penalty points in race 3 at Silverstone, what is his total for the season?

He must be close to missing a race when his points reach 12 in 12 months.

I don't know, he's a hard driver. Wouldn't want him behind me unless it was at a straight-line speed track.

Jordan can't really afford to do anything daft, I do expect the Hondas to do something dodgy though.

He's a hard driver, but he managed to race JP cleanly at Snet despite JPs best attempts. He'll race him hard, but it won't be unfair.

I feel like Jordan has to do something crazy. He can't just beat Turks by 1 or 2 spots. He needs to destroy him.

so the smart thing for Turks would be to simply let him thru if he is faster

unless Turks has the luck to have one car (Sutton) between him and Jordan

Cammish claims BMW has DTM cars and he can't beat them. What a crying primadonna he is... last weekends BMW struggled to get up to Honda's speed and no one claimed that they're too good...

To be fair - and I don't want to start another BoP argument! - he does have a point. All 3 BMWs in the top 4, 2 of those with huge weight on, and other than Ash Sutton, Butcher was next quickest almost a second off the pole time.

Hopefully it will be a bit closer in the races and not a BMW 1-2-3...!

Christ, he didn't "claim" they have DTM cars. It was to illustrate how big the gap was. I'm a Turk fan, but he's not wrong. The gap is a bit mad.

porsche962fan · 12 Oct 2019, 19:34 (Ref:3933563)

the BMW hardly dominated at Thruxton , Snetterton , Knockhill etc and Silverstone was a rain thing

AJ claims he couldn't match Turks

The car was on a bit of a knife edge in qualifying and we didn’t quite have the balance right; I wouldn’t have been able to get down to Colin’s time

Plus, the 'works' Honda's are behind the BTC Norlin cars. which team isn't doing its job right|?

FFSM · 12 Oct 2019, 21:46 (Ref:3933607)

I can see Turkington scampering off in R1, which would all but end it.

Where's Mat Jackson to cause his customary Hailwood/Druids pile-up on lap 1 when you need him?

Obviously not the team that is leading the Teams Championship, has one driver second in the Drivers Championship, another driver second in the #ForeverForward.

Well a lot of people thought Colin would be a bit behind on the grid, but thanks to the weather and a Matt Simpson red flag he gets the pole. Now he can relax a bit more now, especially with Cammish so far down. Good to see Sutton up there and Caine, good effort by him

I know it's bad to say, but a part of me hopes he takes himself and Turkington out...

Londoner · 13 Oct 2019, 10:15 (Ref:3933908)

Hoping Jordan somehow takes the title, it's six years to the day he won the 2013 championship.

Akrapovic · 13 Oct 2019, 10:20 (Ref:3933910)

I'm a Turk fan, but I'm feeling myself rooting for Cammish. Don't know why. Something different I guess.

swooshiain · 13 Oct 2019, 10:21 (Ref:3933911)

I have to say, if I was looking for a drive next year, I'm not sure I'd be grinning like a naughty schoolboy while saying that team orders don't matter any more.

I think he probably knows he's going elsewhere next year. When he signed for BMW, he said WSR and Dynamics were the two best teams in the championship, and it seems like he's burnt any bridges for Honda!

pimmy · 13 Oct 2019, 10:26 (Ref:3933913)

I'd like to see either Jordan or Cammish win it. Nothing against Turkington but I don't want to see Rouse's record equalled.

porsche962fan · 13 Oct 2019, 10:53 (Ref:3933916)

what the heck is always with Simpson crashing

porsche962fan · 13 Oct 2019, 10:56 (Ref:3933917)

Cook didn't make any room for Cammish

Akrapovic · 13 Oct 2019, 11:01 (Ref:3933918)

Bit of rain mid-race. We'll have to red flag it guys.

Akrapovic · 13 Oct 2019, 11:04 (Ref:3933920)

Good job someone has invented pit stops since Silverstone!

This should be really good.
