I've got no sound so don't know what Plato was saying, but I'm assuming from comments in here that it was something about trying to place the blame on Newsham.

But having watched the video, what the hell was he thinking? How is that anyone but Plato's fault? The guy dived for a gap on a piece of track that didn't exist and then moved back onto the track and tagged him. Newsham was traveling perfectly straight in relation to the road. Was Plato going for a Wallace and Gromit style overtake, where he was going to start laying new track in front of him as he passed?

Idiot.

Plato did have a small amount of room to go for the move but it was cut off in seconds. Mostly Plato's fault but his driving instinct told him he could take that milliseconds after it was available.

Really really enjoyed that. Ive been looking forward to the BTCC starting for ages and i'm glad it didn't disappoint.

Such. A. ****

Yeah I watched the WTCC last night. Completely lost interest. It just looks like another Chevvy walk over year.

And to think, Ford/AON jumped ship from the BTCC to join the WTCC

It's a shame isn't it. I watched both yesterday and I've already informed the other half that his lot are boring and BTCC is where it's at.

Here are some of my pictures, this is the first time I have ever used my 450D so it was a massive learning curve.

Nice pics. Noticed most (all?) have a side exhaust exit which is weird.

It's permitted under NGTC rules.

Some more of my pics. None crash action this time.

 

[therealnerd2]

Well, having tried to not see any results and failed - does anyone have the link to the highlights??

 

[Stinky]

was there no footage of fosters off then?

 

[GravyMonster]

Nope TV cameras missed it. The closest amateur footage I've seen is below, but this only catches the tail end as the car comes to rest:

Just watching this on ITV4 now, some great racing.

 

[Janesy B]

I'm so annoyed I didn't get anything, I started walking back to my seat when it happened

 

[Skeeter]

Some footage of Fosters crash on YouTube. Seems the impact with the barrier flipped him, rather than rolling during the crash.

 

[mrgubby]

Off to Donington this weekend, hopefuly Plato will do a repeat of last year........

 

[Gimpymoo]

Cannot wait for tomorrow. Should be Epic.

If the weather holds I might take a trip down...
