Hovercam is a great idea, fantastic view from up there too!!
Felt really sorry for Andy Jordan, he had it in the bag from the start :-(

I wouldn't say that's a save for Jackson. It's just how a lot of the FWD cars take the fast corners.

Sounds like Gordon Shedden is still butthurt because he is too stupid to use his mirrors.

I agree. Not a fan of Plato but in r1 he didn't nothing wrong.
Hoping Jordan can win race 3 and close up on Neal and Plato in the points again.

Team Hard becoming better each weekend, good on them, TOC been brilliant and Goff very impressive for a rookie.👍 They really deserve this they have been very impressive and hope they do well in race three.
Hope race three is clean too.

Where did they all go? Was it not 20+ cars a season or two ago?

I think so. I'm guessing it's either budget related or the drivers have moved on to international championships.

VW was quick. Every other car except Honda's got a boost, and you can see on the straights that they aren't matching cars in slipstream so the chassis is clearly what they have worked on. Personally I enjoyed those races. Lots not forget Jason was leading over Shedden and managing the gap....
Also at Brands Jason dominated race 1 and 2, race 2 winning with full weight and had a gap....yet then people didn't moan by his dominate races? Hmmm.

Not BTCC related but touring car related (don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere):

Anyone know what the actual power output of an NGTC car is now? Couple years ago I read 300hp, with possibly increasing in 2013... any idea what the power output is now?

I think it's about 315bhp. I know WTCC car's produce almost 330bhp, but those are different engines but I would guess it was close to those figures.

There's official power then there's unofficial take your pick.

Both
Seriously, I guess about 325hp.
Officially 300 unoffically some are north of 400.

400hp? Sorry but that can't be.. super touring cars had 330hp and are quicker than modern NGTC cars still at some tracks...

Look at a super tourer underneath and how they were built and you'll see a huge difference.
