How mad was that???? Some crazy accidents and crashes in an incident packed 3 races.
How lucky was Plato to avoid Adam Jones' car in race 3. Thats the sort of luck you need to win championships! And Giovanardi somehow managed to keep his car out of the barriers after hitting Jordan at Paddock. Mike Jordan was so unlucky, but at least he kept going, and did well to stay from the barrier as well.
Race 1 had a huge race stopping incident after Matt Jackson spun round in front of the field and was hit by Matt Neal, after that it was bedlam with most of the following cars crashing into each other.
I thought Plato was a bit naughty in race 2 taking Chilton out, Chilton was already half a car length ahead and on the inside, and Plato was cheeky enough to describe it as 50/50!!
Plenty of entertaining racing from the day and the ITV4 coverage wasnt bad, it just went a bit amatuerish when on ITV1.

Horrible crash for Matt Neal  Kinda finished his championship.
Absolute mayhem though - support races look a bit chaotic as well. Clio race abandoned, some championship contenders in the PCCGB I think have come together, Kral and Smith losing points in Formula classes, and the championship leader in the SEAT's I think had a DNF.

Those were awesome races!
The pile up at driuds was just nasty, you couldn't really blame Matt Jackson, because he has rear wheel drive, he has virtually zero rear end grip.
In general, it was just great racing.

Why did Jackson get peanilsed?
Only because Steve Neal complained, Team Dynamics always get their own way.

I dont know why him only, he made a mistake and spun out, unfortunately there was a pile up because of it, but it certainly wasnt deliberate.
Plato should have got a penalty for sending Chilton off (even though he fell off as well) and Giovanardi 1 for taking Mike Jordan out of the lead.

Exactly, it wasn't Jackson's fault, it was driver error.
Team Halfords always get their own way, why?

I dont know, maybe Alan Gow is scared they'll leave and go to WTCC, and he doesnt want to lose one of his major teams.

Team Dynamics ego's are huge, especially Matt Neal's.

To be fair to Jackson he should never have been penalised, If Matt Neal drove a rear wheel drive BMW and spun he would get away with it. Team Dynamics always moan, they should be called Ferrari.
I was annoyed that Jordan got took out, its a shame, he doesn't have a great deal of luck.
And Tom Chilton, anyone see the feature on him, he was asked why haven't you won yet this year? Answer: because your shite and i would make a better race driver than you! He also had the cheek to say he had been on the podium millions of times, please.

Agreed, Matt Neal can do whatever he likes, and get away with it.
Chilton isn't very good, Fabrizio has completely outclassed him this year.

Chilton should have been learning from Fabrizio and applying that to his driving for this year. Since he's been totally outclassed i cant see VX keeping him next year, they may well take a chance on Matt Jackson or Adam Jones, or another talented young driver, especially if Giovanardi wins the championship and stays to defend it.

Yup, VX Racing should get rid off Chilton, frankly he's a rather average driver.
Matt Jackson or Adam Jones in the Works Vauxhall would be awesome, both great drivers.
