That was when they had the Honda tank, that shitty SEAT would have shattered like that Knockhill incident :lol:

They may both be pricks but that is one of the all-time classic saves. Didn't even lose the lead.

And he still took the second clipping point at almost near perfectness :thumbsup:

Although I still feel John Cleland's effort at Oulton Park in 1992 is the finest save in BTCC history

I can't find the external replay sorry.

I think that was because it was one of the few times Plato realised he'd made a mistake and backed off to let Muller gather it up and continue.

You're letting your Plato hatred cloud your judgement here. JP was sticking his nose (rightly so) then Muller closed the door, it was 50/50. I remember after the race both drivers paid compliment to each despite the incident.

Sounds like something I'd do, though I'm sure I remember a post race interview where JP said he deliberately backed off to allow Muller to gather it up and he didn't want to get involved in a further accident.

However if it was Matt Neal Plato would've floored it until Matt was upside down off the kerbs imo

By the way, wasn't there a copycat incident in the last few years at Thruxton between Plato and Neal where in the post race interview JP admitted that he "ran out of talent" while the two of them laughed and joked with eachother?

Yeah, we all thought hell had Frozen over.

Essentially the Neal/Plato thing is all showmanship but damn do they play their roles well

Which is about the only way to get Eurosport to show your racing these days. Wish more series would consider selling out to them

No posts for todays races in Japan? :8:

Race 1 won by Menu and race 2 won by d'Aste.
Not the best races today. They should use Suzuka west instead of east. That would be much better.

Dreadful races. 1st was... I am speechless... cars look so slow... another Chevy parade.
Honda got their first points, the Civic looks kinda narrow for a racing car.

Your avatar is interesting what's that?

I think because everyone was watching a far better race with a far better touring car series.

It's some random crash from french comic book "Grand Prix"

Oh and that reminds me, the new Michel Vaillant comic book, with the WTCC theme, is coming out soon.

Does the plot line involve Valliant bravely leading the race before being shunted off by a Chevrolet?

Gaara · PostPosted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 9:13 pm

He is a Chevy driver, he's Menu

kals · PostPosted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 10:27 pm

Well Chevy drivers *cough* Muller *cough* have been known to do that Phil...

That's Muller for you. It'll be very interesting to see what happens if he's still in the series when Loeb arrives.

They're both better than WTCC anyway.
