Never been so excited for a season. Race #1 Half an hour away.

hunter crashbbot already starting

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Nice one

 

[Furinkazen]

What was that marshal doing? Also need flies on the wall in the HARD, WSR, and Motorbase pits after this one...

 

[Bo]

I don't think I've ever seen the Proton overtake before.

Ingram drove a great race, there's a good chance he could repeat it in race 2.

 

[Furinkazen]

Great win for Speedworks and Tingram . Aron Smith in points and go on Welch

 

[AudiMan2011]

Nice one

I hope he gets hauled up for that because that's absolutely unacceptable.

 

[Famine]

So the Subaru had roughly the same debut performance as the Infiniti. That's gone well.

 

[Furinkazen]

Full Race #1 Classification.

[Furinkazen]

Collard is a muppet. That is all.

 

[Bo]

Collard's getting crossed off a lot of Christmas card lists today.

Dan Welch 12th Cannot believe I am writing this

 

[Bo]

I've never really enjoyed Brands Indy for racing, but both races today have been great. The most exciting season openers for many years.

 

[Furinkazen]

Do ITV player have the highlights / replays? Will be missing Race #3.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Race 2 was insane. This kind of no-quarter-given racing is what we want. It sort of reminded me of the older days back around the early 2000's when I first started watching BTCC.

Collard is a muppet. That is all.

Was he the one who caused Ingram to retire? I missed the first half of this race.

 

[Ryk]

Is this the future for F1 quals - Former Champion and a mystery ball pick for pole?

Yep, divebomb of the year so far, at Paddock Hill killed his rear right suspension.

RACE ONE: Ollie Jackson for an incident with Hunter Abbott – two penalty points and official reprimand.

RACE TWO: Alex Martin fined £500 and handed three penalty points for an incident with Mark Howard.

RACE THREE: Tom Ingram issued £500 fine and three penalty points for incident with Jake Hill | Ashley Sutton issued with an official reprimand and two penalty points.

I did lol over the fact matt simpson has beat neate in all the races in a year old car first time out.....

 

[ExigeEvan]

Nice one

Not sure if he was expecting it to be lighter than it was or just failed to get a grip.

I didn't think that was Collard's fault. Ingram drove into the corner as if Collard wasn't there. Collard was alongside and he can't be expected to just disappear.

I've looked back at the replays since, and I think whilst Collards first move was way too optimistic, Ingram did himself the major damage covering when Rob was already there on the run up to hairpin.

Very happy for Morgan , and can't help but feel for Jordan. Boost issues in Race #1 and TWO clashes with Jackson.

 

[Bo]

The Collard/Tingram clash was 50/50, Tom's defense was aggressive but Collard gave it back in equal measure. Rob still drove like an idiot for the majority of the day.

can't help but feel for Jordan. Boost issues in Race #1 and TWO clashes with Jackson.

I'm still trying to work out if it was just Jackson being overly eager or whether it was a bit of stupidity. The race 1 grass moment was completely ridiculous, Jordan did give him the squeeze at the start of R3 though which forced the contact.

A lot of drivers seemed to have left their brains elsewhere today. Very exciting stuff, but a lot of general clumsiness - the kind of things you see in Juniors.

Rubbish reporting. The team haven't split with Neate. The TBL was on loan from ToCA and they've decided to take the license back. It wasn't even a Honda TBL to start with.

Btw from my sources, timing suspiciously coincidental with news of Paras Racing returning to racing today.
