Can't believe he'll keep that one given some of the DQs we've seen in the past for far less.

Quicker to get to Belgium than to Scotland for some teams! But yeah, not to Italy...

Should be a pancake mix, so you can FLIP as many times as you want...

BTCC only seems to disqualify young drivers from their first good result in order to "set an example"

Established veterans can do what they want it seems, as judged by Plato never getting penalised for his wonky driving...

We'll see if that applies to Shedden too...

He was quite some way back when he made the move, Turks had the line.

Just finished watching the three BTCC races and feel pretty disgusted. Race 1 was pretty dire, race 2 was amazing then race 2 was great until Shedden turfed Turkington out of the way. That wasn't driving expected of a Champion, and worst of all was his post race interview where he admits he was happy with his move and felt it was fair. Bullshit. A few times this year Shedden has bitched and moaned about other's driving standards, including when he took himself out at Thruxton. He's a great guy and a great champion, but he's not Plato or Neal and today was poor and dirty. Shame on him. That was worthy of a DSQ.

Again, I don't think it was 100% Shedden's fault. Turkington turned across on him mega late.

A few? he was wanking off about poor driving standards in the pre-race interview :lol:

(It might have been the interview on the grid before race 2, but I'm pretty sure it was before race 3).

60/40 Sheddens fault. Stupid lunge but you can't block in braking zones.

60/40 is far too generous to Shedden and unfair against Turkington, who was simply taking his normal racing line. I agree that you cannot turn in late, but Shedden came from so far back that it is safe to assume that Turkington had no idea a lunge was in progress. 85/15 is more than justified in the circumstance. Shedden's attitude this year has been far from impressive. Today was very poor.

It's as if he'd been watching the video of Neal's moves in race 2 and tried to replicate them, with no idea on how they came off.

Trying to go around the outside of Montreal, failed. Try the late lunge and dive by cleanly in Hamilton's...BIG FAIL.

Didn't look like a normal line to me. He went left whilst braking in a corner that has a perfectly straight braking zone. Maybe 75/25, doesn't matter. You don't move in braking zones.

I didn't see that move you mention, I'll have to watch the replays again.

Besides, we're missing something a little bit bigger here ellis. And that is that Magnifico won't be too pleased if he reads our conversation. Afterall, didn't he say just a few days ago that you and I tend to agree on everything? :lol:

Hahah. In that case, fuck Sheddon! Mans an asshole! That should satisfy our agreement quota fit another few days.

Great day today at Snetterton. 3 very entertaining races. There was a massive cheer when Plato crashed in race 3
