the Golf has been pants from the day it entered the BTCC IMO.  Its either far to slow, far to unreliable, or it crashes out.  At least Rob Austins A4 is in the middle reaking havoc.  Shame hes having engine issues now though as the car seems really strong.

The problem is if your at the back of the field you dont get any air time and end up being a complete unknown with you rname only getting mentioned when you retire.  They should just get the NGTC spec car and then its pretty much guaranteed to be semi-competitive as its the same spec as the other cars.

When AMD had Onslo-cole in the car it was running alright. They need to get a good/experianced driver in again to get it going in the right direction.

He showed some flashes of pace in it. Not front running admittedly but respectable mid field at least. Get the reliability and it wouldnt be too bad.

ollie jackson is a decent driver, he showed that at Brands plus he's got a decent CV: http://tinyurl.com/6s5xd24

he just hasn't had the car he needs at donny due to reliability issues.

Not saying Ollie is a bad driver, just need someone with more touring car experience.

What we really need now is the Octavia entry to appear and show the way home to the Golf.  :innocent:

Actually can't they use the Revo/Skoda land speed record car.  :party:
