That'll be another boost peg back for Honda at the next round then.

They can't peg back Honda any more, they at minimum as it is.

Everyone else will just get increases, especially the MG despite how easily Plato could overtake.

Mat Jackson did get another two points on his licence for spinning out Welch. He's going to have to be very careful :lol:

I haven't read back through the thread, but in race one how on earth did Andy Neate get away with cutting the chicane and gaining two places towards the end of the race?

What I'm referring to is when there was a three car fight ahead of him, Andy was around 10 car lengths behind. All three cars made contact, one spun and the other two went onto the grass on the inside of the chicane. Neate was in no danger and had plenty of time to react, the track wasn't blocked yet he chose to straightline the chicane.

Yes, I noticed that. Also I recall him cutting the chicane in the second race as well? Or is that I saw him spinning out to retirement?

So in race one Plato was ham-strung by issues, yet his performances in races two and three were nothing short of amayonnaising. I was particularly impressed with how he sliced through the field in race two. Lettuce applause Jason.

...I'll get my coat.

Andrew Jordan is moaning about Rob Collard after their race 3 contact - http://www.touringcartimes.com/article.php?id=7753

Quite frankly it was a racing incident, Rob made a good move on Andy. No blame, just unfortunate.

I like Andrew Jordan but he's moaned constantly throughout the season so far. His father needs to have a quiet talk to him.

What did Collard do wrong?

It's strange, so far this year Jordan & Jackson have been fairly arsey while Collard has been okay :lol:

Full run-down of penalties from the weekend. I'm hardly surprised it's so long, there was some absolutely ridiculous driving going on on Sunday to the point where I wasn't really enjoying watching it.

Quote:

Meanwhile Nick Foster and Chris James each received official reprimands and two penalty points on their competition licences for collisions in Oulton's first race, with Aron Smith and Tony Hughes respectively. Mat Jackson was identically punished after a collision with Robert Collard in race two and received the same again following a clash with Daniel Welch in race three.

Incidents involving the following drivers in Oulton's third race have been held over and will be investigated at Croft's championship meeting (23/24 June):
Robert Collard and Andrew Jordan; Dave Newsham, Dan Welch, Aron Smith and Ollie Jackson; Adam Morgan and Will Bratt; Robert Collard and Mat Jackson.

Because he's Andy Neate and he's fucking useless. He's done the same sort of thing a few times in the past.

I'm sure there was an occasion where Wrathall was cleanly down the inside of Neate, yet Andy chose to straight line the chicane, and never gave the place back. Wrathall then lost his position to someone else (Plato?) whilst trying to get back past Neate, before going off and retiring.

And Ballast or no ballast, the MG just seemed superior to anything else in the second race.
