They'll release a statement soon about why this is Alan Gow's fault.

Fantastic. Smith got both his team-mate and his boss to shave more laps off under the SC.

Aron Smith wins!

Great racing everywhere today!

I never really look forward to Rockingham because it's not the best track the BTCC visits, but damn it's pretty well suited to touring car racing, all 3 races have been fun today.

They could race in 2 weeks time but nah they'll wait for 3 weeks so they can ensure another F1 clash :slaphead:

Well, forgot that Goodwood Revival is in two weeks and a lot of the big guys do that.

A suspended ban? Is that it? He should be banned outright, he's Andy Neate Mk. II. There's no need to beat around the bush here, start getting rid of people. It's always the same people throwing themselves at the scenery afterall.

They could really do with a big screen or two at Rockingham, for the sake of showing replays. I missed quite a few passes and incidents because I was watching the wrong part of the field.

A few races today were ruined early on by first lap safety cars.The first BTCC race could have been so much better had Jackson been able to stay with Shedden under racing conditions.

Well chances are he'll get banned at Silverstone.

I see that Matt Neal got away with ramming Dave Newsham out of the way in race 2 :roll:

And the bolded part, oh no...

Good days racing, all the supports were decent too. Shame lots of things got missed or weren't replayed, especially the hairpin incidents at the start of the 2nd race and whoever went through turn 1 sideways in race 3.

Can't see Howard making it through to the end of the season, race 3 was a particular low point. Interesting Turkington has managed to rack up 3 incidents given his reputation as a clean driver.

Yeaa, other than the incident with Collard at Knockhill, I can't really recall anything before that this year.

Now wait for someone to give me a list :lol:
