[nugget]

1-2 for Poxhall in race 1 then
Seems Jason slipped on some oil which allowed Chilton through for second, but still leads the championship after finishing 3rd
Darren failed to start after mechanical problems on the grid...

 

[Pabs]

[nugget]

Jason 5th, Darren 6th in race 2. Looked like a good drive from Darren from the back of the grid.
Neal out after a collision with Colin Turkington
Vauxhalls finished 1st and 3rd, Giovanardi only 5 points behind Jason in the championship...

Just seen the highlights...lmfao at Squeal after the crash, "no you can't attach the towrope there, daddy will already be mad at me for breaking his car !!!"
Then did a handclap at Chilton when he came back round...

Matt "daddys boy" Neal

Just back from Kilmarnock for the Celtic game(championees,champiopnees)and totally forgot to set a tape for this...

 

[WeeJase]

good solid last race from jason and darren.and for my fanatsy team good to see matt jackson up there too.

who cares who wins,so long as its not matt "daddies special soldier" neal

Anyway pleased that Jason won race 3, glad he held back at the hairpin from the other cars which ran into each other.

I would be suprised if Matt Neal hasn't been reprimanded from the Clerk of the Course for removing the tow rope, even though Matt probably knew it'd do more damage to the car. Pleased Shedden finished ahead of him in Race three too! More results like that for Gordon Shedden and he'll be doing a Dan Eaves....

pmsl at plato when he barged past turner "I had my indicator on"

hardly a surprise that the lwsser indys couldnt get past the 2nd corner

Serious carnage in all races - and some terrible marshalling too.

Safety car called out for no reason at all apart from bunching the cars up.
However, Rockingham is still the best venue in the UK - and the traffic management was top

Tim Harvey made that cynical comment too

 

[Leon]

What was it, he said as it's on a banked oval Alan Gow has employed the paper cup on course safety car ???? LOL!

{and the traffic management was top}

glad we waited a bit that was some queing to get out and I dont think Lee would have been to impressed with the short cut across that field, snow plough comes to mind.

Top day at Rockingham. Apart from Plato's off the line (and crash dodging) in the 3rd race, I'd have to say I was most impressed with "Coleslaw-Ons" efforts which spiced-up race 2.

Many of the other formula races were just to processional to be interesting though.

Nice points lead for Plato now but a shame about DT (why do they think putting tons of black tape on something is going to make it work?)

Top day at rockingham! first time ive been to a motorsports event and loved it. Certainly will be returning in the future. Think the btcc were the best on show with races 2 and 3 being espically good. Nice to see Plato win the 3rd race

Only problem i had.... me and my mate forget where I parked the motor and ended up looking around for bouts 30 mins trying to find it. So if u saw a confused lad around in the car park looking around it was most likely me

Nice to see many SEAT cars in the car park

1st time to "The Rock" All I can say is WOW! what a race track, great trafic control, great facilities and a BL00DY fantastic view!

I think it may be better than brands....maybe?

Well, in terms of traffic control, definately better. The view is pretty good like Brands, but its so big some of it is hard to see without a telescope. I'd rather sit nearer a corner where there is some action, and not the straight (Bit like watching F1 on a straight) I was standing on the pits, which sounds great, but has quite a restricted view from there sadly. Haven't seen it on TV yet, but we were trying hard to get in camera shot during the presentations

Traffic management is run by the same people who run Silverstones traffic IIRC.

 

[m0rk]

can't have been - at silverstone last year there was zero traffic management - hence they lost the BTCC this year
