I think we're going round in circles (lol), you know what's different now.

I'll try and enjoy the remaining rounds, but I won't look back on this season fondly. If Neal or Shedden win it, that's fine. But if Plato wins it, well that's ridiculous.

Yeaa, blatant favouritism.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in some of Alan Gow's meetings with teams and drivers over the equalisation reviews.

2011 and 2012 have been really disappointing. Rules have always been tweaked, see 1996 for instance, but this is beyond a joke.

I will watch the racing as I'm a BTCC fan. But I'm sure I'll be unhappy with what happens off and on the track as well as the results. That said, I hope to be wrong. If there will be rain tomorrow I'm banking (no pun intended) on some mixed up races.

Plato will win Race 1 by a country mile and race 2 comfortably, despite the ballast.

He'll then punt someone off in race 3 and get no penalty.

I can see him punting someone into the oval wall at high speed.

I agree 100%, but ONLY if it is dry. If it is wet I can see Honda coming through, hopefully (can't believe I'm saying this) Matt Neal winning despite his injury.

And karma will strike Plato and MG with water getting into the electrics and putting him out for all 3 races. A man can dream right?

Oh yes, that would be tasty.

I'm not sure how rain will help the others. The boost advantage will still play into the hands of MG. If anything, Honda will be worried about having Andy Neate nearby in the dry, let alone rain. BMWs would be good in the wet though.

Lets hope we get a hat trick of Plato taking pole then not even making the start due to electrical gremlins...

Couple of Haribo and a Tesco Sandwich in the fuel tank should sort him out too

Lower boost means being able to get the power down better on a low traction surface. The MG's will be quick in a straightline but will find it difficult to get out of the slow corners, of which there are many at Rockingham.

Good.

Hopefully Plato will be Haribo-uncing off of the walls.

At the end of a sweet day of racing, lettuce hope we can toast two Honda victories sandwiching a first win for the Motorbase NGTC Focus.

Yeah I know, I'm hamming it up as much as possible.

i think a few of you might have a bit of a crush on jason plato, with the amount of time you spend thinking about him.
