A Class is 4.2m
Focus is 4.3m
Civic is 4.3m

They tend to put larger bumpers on to stretch the length to meet the criteria, but that A class is going to need some big bumpers!!

Rules are always there to be broken. Just look at the boost

Still poor driving lower down the order. And itv persist on showing the leader cross the line, despite there bing a tight battle for 3rd resulting in a difference of 0.008 seconds at the finish line. Frustrating.

MG's and Toyotas clearly have an advantage this weekend. Great racing from Matt Neal to finish 3rd. I think I want to see Turkington take the championship however.

ITV are terrible, so that didn't surprise me.

They seem to be obsessed about showing the leader cross the line rather than focusing on very close battles behind. Turkington finished 0.008 seconds behind Neal, but instead we watched Plato sail across the line?

With the DNF in the final race I guess this is unlikely to happen now. I would love Andrew Jordan to win the championship though, he has been very consistent this year

Yep, no chance for Turkington now.

Personally can't stand Andrew Jordan, so will be gutted to see him win. But at the same time I don't think Shedden deserves the title either.

Matt Neal will be getting my support for the final 3 races.

Race 3 should be brilliant. Can't see Plato not winning the race, so what does Jordan have to do to make sure he wins the title? Probably a bit too difficult all the way from the back, but still doable, smith did it in race 1.

Really enjoyed those last 3 races, and it all unfolded very nicely!

Well played to Andrew Jordan on winning.

But next year I think Turkington will take it (provided he keeps the seat). Had so much bad luck this year getting punted off!
