Ha!

Now I don't feel so left out having a Freeivew HD TV but living in an area that doesn't broadcast Freeview HD...

And crashing on the warmup lap... doh!

 

[Skeeter]

Lol, good to see the Ginetta Junior guys back to their old tricks of testing the skills of the Marshals at as many marshal posts as possible!

 

[Abraxaz1]

sod me, some big shunts in the ginetta junior cup.
Thoses things dont crash well do they

 

[Duke]

That first crash was nasty.

 

[Skeeter]

The local park has called up, someone has stolen all their park benches...

Porsche have denied all knowledge

 

[Duke]

They are pretty big! IIRC they have more powerful engines this season, which is the reason for them?

haha you could house a eastern eurpean family under them ffs, reminds me of the old f1 1960-1970 aerodynamic wings. They just look to big to be effective

 

[Grumps82]

Yeah the Porches have 25 bhp more this year hence the HUGE wing.

 

[Westyfield2]

I really want a Ginetta G50 .

 

[sigma]

Anyone got a clip of that slide/drift/save by a white car in I think the 3rd BTCC race?

Was awesome.

 

[Skeeter]

The second white Pirtek Vectra?

Yeah, it was good, but not as good as Plato's save at Paddock Hill 2 years ago

 

[sigma]

Yeah I remember Plato saving it, in fact, I made a thread about it on here. lol @ the sex ban!

 

[MagicBoy]

Yeah, it was Jeff Smith IIRC. I'll have it on the PVR box somewhere, not sure how to get it off though.

He had a few epic moments into paddock as did John George (I think) in the second of the purple Chevy's.

 

[Skeeter]

Yeah, the commentators nick named them 'the Beach Boys' for there repeated trips across the gravel.

 

[sigma]

Found it, 31:22 ->

Maybe not as great as the Plato save but still looks good.
