I think I've sussed it. The AMD Milltek Golf is underpowered because it's dyno'd at AMD.  :laugh:

Better result for Tom in the final race. Fingers crossed they can find the missing ponies before Donny.

Interesting that Boardman started behind and finished several seconds ahead with the same engine.  :scared:

Good finish in final race ,25 secs behind finishing 1st .Just need to find 1 second a lap over 24 laps to compete better.

Encouraging, and for once no retirement :happy2:

:grin: :grin:

The result on the grid doesnt say alot tbh, there were alot of DNFs.  however there were still a few cars behind that couldnt get past so that is positive and good to actually get a decent finish i guess.  If i was shaun id be going apesh!t at the engine builders.

Some big offs on the BTCC today.  Especially Plato, and they go tit back out on track for the next race and he finished 6th  :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:

On-slow cole didnt do to bad either in the AMD Golf.

I think the civics are by far the strongest car on the grid

He had a great start in that final race until he got taken out. Hopefully the Golf's form will keep improving!

Good news for AMDs golf.  6th fastest in qualifying. :congrats: lets hope its clean racing for them toorrow and dont get tangled up with other guys, especially like last week when they werent even involved in the scuffle at all

yet again, the civics are on fire, this time with Gordon shedden topping the time tables.  would prefer him to win thean Matt Neil.  not really sure why im not hi biggest fan, but i just dont follow him

When we were walking round the pits Jason Plato walked past.

He was stopped by a bloke with 2 kids, chatted and signed autographs.

Means a lot to me if a driver is approachable shame the car is off the pace.

Was some good racing today! The golf didnt do too badly, still a shame about the reliability issues striking just before race 2! Nice to see Shedden get a result too despite "Team Orders"
