2014 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship

Lemme get this straight, you hate Plato for dirty driving, but look forward to another driver showing poor driving standards?

Quite simply yes, to show him up.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Double standards much? Plato, Neal and the Flash git are all as bad as each other.

I want to see them race 911's. You know the car with the radiator as first point of contact at one end and the oil lines being first point of contact at the other end.

They'd have to red flag it on the first lap due to the stream of coolant on track

But the difference between Neal/Shedden and Plato is that Matt and Flash can give it out and take it, because they know a bit of bumping is touring cars, but Plato seems to have terrible on track manners when he's in the driving seat, and once somebody does it to him, he goes on a big hissy fit.

Slightly off topic but went down to the local Indian last night and Andrew Watson and Simon Belcher were in there with some of their crew

10:00, that means tire selections!

Gio on a different strategy.

 

[Ninners]

Pole lap. Looks quite wet at Donington.

 

[ENFORCER 98]

How long until race 1 starts ?.

How long until race 1 starts ?.

About 20/25 minutes.

 

[ENFORCER 98]

Ok, So i have that much time to ITV player working.

I'll give you another stream if you can't get it working.

 

[ENFORCER 98]

Yaaay , ITV is working. C'mon, Colin !

 

[ENFORCER 98]

So, Say if the wets are useless mid race. Can they come in for a pitstop and if needed how fast can the crew change the tyres ?. is it anything like a v8 supercar pitstop. ?

 

[Tired Tyres]

Not practical. The races are not long enough to make up for the pitstop.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Not practical. The races are not long enough to make up for the pitstop.

Depends on how much the wets go off.

I would stick slicks on and see how it works out.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Newsham nearly hit a JCB type vehicle when he spun, surprised the safety car isn't on track to be honest...

 

[Furinkazen]

Don't think we've had BTCC pit stops in a long time?

Battles all through the field. Classic stuff.

GT4 Supercup race was amazing from this morning.

R2 should be interesting, Collard from 4th.

 

[Scaniabebe]

Donington Park National (Round 4) Results:

Fastest Lap: Rob Austin (1:17.601)​

 

[Furinkazen]

Race #2 is at 2.27.

 

[Scaniabebe]

Race 2 and 3 results may be slightly delayed due to me having things to get done this afternoon (as well as STCC this evening).

 

[Furinkazen]

Porsche's win award for dumbest first corner of 2014.

 

[Scaniabebe]

Rain is returning again...
Nothing beats the entertainment of wet races!

 

[Scaniabebe]

Was cringing when Menu was going right across the track - was expecting a bad accident with that!

 

[Furinkazen]

Holy hell Menu is lucky.

 

[Scaniabebe]

Holy hell Menu is lucky.

Menu has always been fairly lucky! For example, at Brands Hatch 1996, he went round in the Laguna at Paddock Hill Bend... Didn't get collected once!

 

[Scaniabebe]

2 Safety Cars in 6 laps... This is going well...

 

[Furinkazen]

Another big one.

 

[Ninners]

This race is becoming pretty annoying now, 3 SC's now.

This race is becoming pretty annoying now, 3 SC's now.

This isn't working well for UA.

In the words of DW in NASCAR: We'll try this again.

Lights out.

 

[Scaniabebe]

This race is becoming pretty annoying now, 3 SC's now.

That third one was technically still the second one as they had only just turned the lights off!
There could be possibly be another SC for Abbott's Audi..
