If this is what constitutes complaint or controversy in the BTCC... My our standards of off-track bickering are dissapointing in 2015!

And ain't that a welcome relief from previous years, eh?

the irony is Honda could really benefit from as strong Motorbase result by them stealing valuable points from BMR
with that powerful engine and no ballast we could very likely have Mat Jackson getting pole and a lights to flag finish |

OUCH
Shedden 2nd with full ballast and JP only 10th on the supposed BMR track? Shedden deserves the title this year expect more moaning about the Motorbase boost |

With only 4 corners, the Focus might not suffer as much here with success ballast. Could be a double in race 1 & 2 tomorrow.

Missed qualifying, but what a shocker from Plato. Will the red mist come down or is he going to be sensible or patient

P10 is a tough call. The usual pitlane start gambit is a much more definite points sacrifice than when you're down in the high teens. Gonna be interesting to see how this one pans out.

In non-championship contender news it's great to see Dave Newsham up the right end of the grid. Would love to see him get a long overdue podium again! Why did I agree to work between 4 and 8 today? What an idiot I am |

Just wondering: Where are all these cars in the Ginetta Supercup suddenly coming from? Last time I watched one of their races (which admittedly was a bit ago) they were down to around a dozen of cars...

Speaking of the support series, you can tell Whorton-Eales was once in Mr Plato's academy can't you! Very similar to that race between Plato and Jordan around here in 2013...

Verbal warning for Plato - can't give out penalties to these title contenders can we?!

looking at the standings
Colin Turkington has a nice lead in the Indy title so he won't go out empty handed this season, another title to his name |

That's because Plato has probably missed out on scoring the independent points at times due to his race 2 gambles.
James Cole had a great run, what a shame Plato proved he was a leopard again, about time a proper message was sent out Flash for the title, great racing from Jackson, Colin, and Andy. MG has been good this year, but it's never been the best. For it to win needs to be in the lap of the gods i.e. Race 3. |

Must say and this will be contentious, that Plato wouldn't have got past the Ford any other way. Like it or lump it, the Ford was too fast for the VW on the straight. |
