skells22 · 30 Aug 2015, 09:52 (Ref:3569800)

as we know for this round we have one change in WSR due to a clashing race.

i wonder who will be the sub next weekend?

My vote will always be for Alex Zanardi!

Unrealistic

Dan Cammish hopefully

skells22 · 1 Sep 2015, 13:22 (Ref:3570496)

well we got the answer for the sub, its Nick Foster will take Priaulx car for this weekend.

Biscuits In A Red Bull · 1 Sep 2015, 15:44 (Ref:3570526)

Nothing too ambitious, but a solid pair of hands who knows the car and could do something in race 3...

Sodemo · 3 Sep 2015, 09:19 (Ref:3570982)

Does anyone have any timetable info for Friday's running for testing, specifically when the super tourers are on?

Thanks.

Thanks Nigel. You're a great help.

Biscuits In A Red Bull · 5 Sep 2015, 18:23 (Ref:3571605)

Nice grid! Jackson on pole, from Aron Smith, Goff and Ingram!

Interesting that Shedden's penalty demotes him to just behind Mr Plato

porsche962fan · 6 Sep 2015, 11:27 (Ref:3571815)

great race 1 , Shedden really on fire

I really wonder if that Motorbase Fords have more boost than they should....

I dont know about that but since their come back they are fastest in the speed traps most sessions. Interestingly though its normally Coles car thats faster than Jacksons in speed.

Biscuits In A Red Bull · 6 Sep 2015, 13:10 (Ref:3571846)

Another great move from Plato...

Biscuits In A Red Bull · 6 Sep 2015, 13:21 (Ref:3571849)

Great race though. Shedden looks unbeatable, Plato fought to an impressive 7th, but Josh Cook claimed a maiden podium!

porsche962fan · 6 Sep 2015, 13:31 (Ref:3571853)

it also the first podium for PowerMaxed racing

Plato still has a big advanatge that both Honda drivers are 1 strike away to start from the back

S griffin · 6 Sep 2015, 18:21 (Ref:3571925)

Tingram was my driver of the day He would have made a deserving winner for that feistyness. Plato a bit naughty to ram him at Deane, which thankfully didn't work.

Shedden I think will do it. He hasn't given up and will surely take a couple more wins before the season is out.

BMWs off the pace, seems that Tordoff's chances are over, barring a miracle. Same with Jordan

Good to see Cook back up there after going quiet after Donington. Also good to see Moffat continuing form, although his inexperience still shows with a few mistakes.

Great win for Motorbase and Mat Jackson, can't help but think back to Ford's late arrival in 1993, great car that arrives too late to make a genuine title attack.

You know I was coming on to post just that. I'm gutted for Mat, Barty and the team as I think they'd have been right up there with Shedden, Plato, Neal and Co. if they'd been in from the start.

Anyways that was another top days racing - with Silverstone suiting the CCs and Brands GP being his personal favourite track Plato is still my tip for the title. Although one disastrous race for either him or Shedden could throw everything up in the air. Neal and Turkington could still be involved, but I'd be surprised if they were still realistically still in it post-Silverstone.

Great results for Tom Ingram and Josh Cook - two future race winners and possibly even champions right there. Tom reacted like I think any of us would if we'd achieved our first podium. Lovely to see how much it meant to him. For a rookie, Cook has performed admirably this season. If PMR keep developing as they are currently then he'll be a consistent top 8 runner next season.

With Jackson, Abbott and Welch all having tire issues (sure there was another driver, but I can't remember who) could it be time to introduce a Thruxton like rule for the Rock? The extremely long curves must put an awful lot of pressure on the left rubber and blowouts can be hugely dangerous at those sort of speeds. Hunter hitting Aiden Moffat could've been a very nasty one indeed. Maybe I'm reacting too song and drivers just need to take better care, but it just struck me as being an issue.

Nightmare of a weekend for WSR. Collard in particular must've wondered why he bothered even going! I'm still disappointed they didn't choose a younger, more exciting charger than Nick Foster. Surely Dan Cammish could've achieved a couple of 14ths and a 16th or whatever it was?! He even managed to get himself a verbal warning!

Pleased for Alex Martin getting his first top 15. He's been involved in his fair share of accidents, but lets not forget what Adam Morgan was like in his first year. Hopefully this will be the start of progress for him and TPR.

I wish the SuperTCC would be a support race at every round. Some great racing (Zakspeed Escort and ex Mint Cavalier in particular) and great to hear the old sounds again. God they sound so much better than NGTC cars!

S griffin · 6 Sep 2015, 21:15 (Ref:3571975)

Oh yeah it was great to see the super tourers out there after supporting Oulton last year, shame the grid wasn't as big. I agree with JC, would have been great if Rockingham was round in the 90s BTCC. Let's have more races with TV coverage. That would be great

jimothy84 · 7 Sep 2015, 06:50 (Ref:3572092)

Not quite sure how Plato got away with a verbal warning for his 'move' on Abbott, or nothing for his shove on Ingram that left bodywork dangling.

**FIRE** · 10 Sep 2015, 16:33 (Ref:3572950)

Enjoyed the racing last weekend.

Nice to see Josh Cook on the podium. I have the impression Adam Morgan can't handle it when under pressure.
