Cheer up guys, your driver just won the race.

by AMR of the Apex Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 12:22

Its to be expected Richy...

by **Richy59** Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 12:29

Can't wait for Race 2 to see some more "pinnacle of British Motorsport" racing.

by nickyf1 Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 13:01

Did anyone expect any better of the BTCC anyway?

Plato.. What an eejit.

by AMR of the Apex Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 13:02

Its time Plato retired methinks...

by **Richy59** Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 14:27

Wow, how did that happen?!

by AMR of the Apex Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 14:43

How to Overtake:

Look at Andrew Jordan.

by **Richy59** Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 14:46

Well, overall that was a better performance in terms of race craft.

by mattmeir Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 14:55

You'd think the drivers would be a bit more 'careful' and trying to ensure they get the laps under the (cam)belts of the new cars..?

Shocking driving by Plato especially - how he hasn't been penalised for that shunt on Newsham I don't know. And what's with drivers spinning/having accidents under yellow flag SC conditions?!

by **Richy59** Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 15:08

And whats with Thorney spinning the car all the time? Especially at the start Razz

by nickyf1 Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 15:10

Jason Plato's interview between race 1 and 2 was just shocking.

How blind can you be?!

I love the look of the MG though, it's good to see an NGTC car built by a proper team, i.e, one that's not floppy and looks poorly built (Yes, that's right Rob Austin and John Thorne, I'm talking to you guys.)

by **Richy59** Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 15:12

The NGTC Civic is so awesome, if they release something that looks like that as the new Type R I would be very tempted to buy one.

Plato's bitchy comment about Newsham at the end of Race 2 was pathetic.

by **Richy59** Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 15:22

Anyone watching the Clios?

So this is what the current British drivers get their bad behavior from? I guess thats what happens when kids are put in the cars.

by **CQR Rogue** Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 15:37

yep defo dude, bit of a farse to be fair, the national motorsport chat on pistonheads and ten tenths is a bit intresting, do drivers need 2 learn basic race craft.

by **Richy59** Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 15:55

Massive shunt in the Ginettas. Whats going on today?

by lfcnicklfc Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 15:56

Wow huge Ginetta crash!

by AMR of the Apex Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 16:38

When's race 3?

by **Richy59** Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 16:42

5pm I think.

by **Matt** Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 16:53

Yup 5pm.
Ginetta crash was fairly spectactular. And sadly unneccessary. Couldn't believe how close they came to some serious problems.

by AMR of the Apex Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 16:56

Me and Simon were in xbox live party mode for race two, I've just started one up...

by AMR of the Apex Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 17:14

I suppose the top 8 were drawn to get swapped around...

by **Richy59** Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 17:19

Woooooow

by AMR of the Apex Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 17:19

"...like a record baby"

by AMR of the Apex Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 17:19

Shedden's oil? Nope...

by **Richy59** Sun 1 Apr 2012 - 17:21
