BTCC BTCC 2019 - Donington Park - Rounds 4, 5, 6 - Page 3

I managed to miss race 2, having been up close and pretty personal when Moffat nudged Hamilton in R1 I then fell awkwardly while bricking it as Colin Whites Ginetta came at me. Tyre barrier and fence not withstanding, still scary! Balls of steel have the guys and girls peddling (and the marshalls!)

And as I say every time you bring it up.... That's the point. they are supposed to be.

It would be even more of a barge vest if the cars were built link tanks.

porsche962fan · 28 Apr 2019, 15:37 (Ref:3900246)

the super tourers were more build like tanks and you didn't have safety car al the time cos some car got stranded thanks to this fragility

neither during BTC and even S2000 era

Evantra · 28 Apr 2019, 16:14 (Ref:3900249)

Really wish they wouldn't mess around with these tyres...

Evantra · 28 Apr 2019, 16:20 (Ref:3900250)

3 HARD cars out on one corner....

porsche962fan · 28 Apr 2019, 16:29 (Ref:3900251)

they might aim for the most amount of safety cars during a season record

In 3 separate accidents that were all their own faults. Amazing.

The cars are stranded due to having made contact with another, not because the suspension is fragile. The problem (which it isn't one) could be solved by not having contact.
At the moment, clean drivers who stay out of trouble are getting the benefit.
No need to change anything - it sounds like you are looking for a series that is more like BriSCA Formula 1 Stock Cars than touring car racing....

Even more amazing, when you compare the narrative to the replay, is Goff's claim that Hamilton pushed him wide and then hit the back of him!

porsche962fan · 28 Apr 2019, 16:49 (Ref:3900259)

Sutton leads the standngs...

I saw that interview, I thought Jack Hoff made himself look rather foolish tbh.

porsche962fan · 28 Apr 2019, 16:59 (Ref:3900267)

and nice that Collard outdid Plato in FWD

Nice that Plato outdid Collard in races 1 and 2.

Your anti Plato nonsense is tiring.

but Collard got a podium and only his 2nd race after over a decade of RWD only

maximus · 28 Apr 2019, 17:18 (Ref:3900274)

On the best tyres on a reverse grid. It was a good drive but the way you have to turn it in to a Plato bash is tiresome. Give it a rest.

And the super tourers cost a F$*k tonne more as well

Yup. He took him self off and was defo not in control when he bounced back onto the circuit.

? did he miss one of the first 2 races and i was sure i saw him at brands.

Yes collard did well but i must admit the plato bashing gets annoying

GT6 · 28 Apr 2019, 17:48 (Ref:3900282)

3 fun races and congrats to turkington and especially to Tingram, get to see as new car win and good for Toyota GB and Gingsters

Alfisti · 28 Apr 2019, 18:45 (Ref:3900297)

Is Goff the most whining silly arse in BTCC now? Blaming Nic for minding his own business not touching anyone... until Goff slammed into him hard backwards.

That was R1 and R3 ruined for him through no fault of his own. Hope he dusts himself off and comes back strong next time.

I understand Team #HARD are moving away from motor racing to synchronised swimming

Slap on the wrist for Smiley (vs Tordoff), Goff (vs Smiliey), Plato (also vs Tordoff) and Blundell (vs Osbourne). Smiley vs Jackson and Collard vs Jordan held over until Thruxton, as stewards had done enough and wanted to get home before tomorow.

No penalty for Hamilton despite blatantly ramming into Goff in race 3

porsche962fan · 28 Apr 2019, 19:45 (Ref:3900308)

Tordoff twice a victim .... maybe someone has a VOODOO doll of him ?

where are the Neal haters to point out that no action on Neal hitting Oliphant?

Sutton also hit Oliphant and got away with it...

Goff has apologised on twitter for blaming Hamilton. Heat of the moment when in front of ITV cameras. You can lay off him now.

Some great racing, even if driving standards overstepped the mark at times, particularly in R2, thankfully it calmed down in R3. Anyway good the stewards have punished the offenders, although any news on Cook vs Oli?

Also good to have a bit more of a representative weekend after the rain affected Brands meeting skewered the picture slightly

Great two wins for Colin, already doubled his win tally from last season. Also good to see Oli up there too. AJ, shame about him, hard to tell from that angle how far alongside Rob was. Great though that Cicely managed to repair Morgan's damaged car and salvage some points

Well done Tingram on giving the new Corolla a new win, although reverse grid is probably it's best chance of a win till it's fully developed. Tom has admitted running a one car is holding back development slightly

Sutton, leading the title after a consistent weekend. Sonic also looking good for a title challenge ATM. And Butcher, he's showing he's a front runner in the right car. As is Hill, what a recovery from him

Seems Jelley's bad luck has returned after a great weekend at Brands Hatch
