Didn’t see a thread, but the season started last weekend at Thruxton
Races 1 & 2 provided carnage, and mixed conditions Race 3.

Believe it’s available on ITV Player

Yep that was a nasty one in Race 2.
He apparently had a mechanical issue preventing him slowing down.....
Interesting they spoke to the other 2 drivers but not him

Saw race 3 live but will need to go back and catch the rest, nice to have it back, always Good racing!

I completely forgot this had restarted. I had tickets booked to go to Oulton Park last year but obviously that was all cancelled. I'll have to look into booking them up again.

It wasn't a mechanical issue. TOCA pulled the telemetry and then assessed him a penalty points and the maximum fine possible. It's possible he hit the clutch, not the brake if indeed he did try to stop, That Neate tried to blame the car to save his own akin went down like a lead balloon with the team. Meanwhile HARD have a brand new car that resembles a pile of scrap. Last I heard it was stripped and on a jig... probably on its way back to Willie Poole.

He's got no place being in the BTCC or any racing series. The guy is a liability.

I'm packing my car just now so if they turn me back at the gate I'll be miffed...

CSMonkeh · 26 Jun 2021 at 20:20

Brands Indy this weekend!
Neate is like 28th. Who thinks he’ll cause another pileup into the bottom hairpin?

SoliD · 26 Jun 2021 at 21:21

It's on itv3 tomorrow so make sure you adjust your sky recordings.

MrKnifey · 28 Jun 2021 at 07:50

Some solid racing yesterday, only race I skipped was the F4. Shedden and Turkington just can't get a break this year! Some seriously bad luck, while Sutton is just always there! I am surprised they dont run the full GP Circuit at Brands though?

They do for a second visit later in the year

SoliD · 28 Jun 2021 at 18:52

Was hoping for some rain there, Indy is usually a bit of a follow me circuit, but there was some good racing throughout yesterday. Tom Ingram keeping up with Sutton nicely.

CSMonkeh · 1 Aug 2021 at 16:48

Oulton Park today!
Looks dry for first 2 races
Saw big accident in the Minis but driver ok

edit: bit of destruction derby in race 1

CSMonkeh · 15 Aug 2021 at 13:14

Knock hill this weekend

And it’s dry!

Ninco! · 15 Aug 2021 at 18:17

Ingram's move for the win in race 3 - absolutely brilliant. I am routing for Tom as previous years, a championship is way overdue.

JohnStewart · 17 Aug 2021 at 13:56

BTCC at Knockhill did not disappoint!

Apart from the heavy rain on Saturday morning when none was forecast and left me trudging around with wet feet all day

As always, it's a fantastic circuit for photos with the cars on two wheels through most of the corners.
