....in winning today Race 1 of the BTCC at Croft! It was about time a car as God intended reasserted itself in the championship First win in the BTCC for BMW since 1996!
not so lucky in race 2 - blame Jason Plato (I'm sure his race tactics will be the subject of later discussion!
Race 3 - BMW 2nd & 3rd.

Northern Irishman Turkington, starting second on the grid, led into the first corner in his Team RAC BMW 320si and was never headed. He also set the race’s fastest lap.

Brilliant result indeed. Plato has always been a very aggressive driver but thats one of the things that makes BTTC so enjoyable to watch. Contact sports are so much more fun ------------- 1998 E36 318iS Saloon 1989 E30 318i. Coupe 2000 E39 520i Touring

Don't rub in the DTM race too much - I'm still well gutted I can't go next Sunday as my son has his last football tournament then! I will be at Snetterton for the BTCC though! Paul -------------  95 E34 530i V8 Auto Maldives Blue |

Hurrah for BMW! As for plato, nothing will change him. It was him and Rob Collard who liked tangling last season. Didn't he end up in a field last year? Maybe driving a tractor in a field would tame him more! Mike -------------

Fair comment, but then why does he cry like a child and throw his toys out the pram when he's on the receiving end? If he can't take it he shouldn't dish it out -------------

I was at croft for the race on sunday. Plato is a right miserable git. He was hanging around out the back of the pit garage between races and totally ignored a young lad after an autograph. I wouldn't care, he was hardly being mobbed, most of us where too busy ogling the girls... The first race was a good result. It's nice to see BMs doing well in the BTCC again.I might actually start watching it again. ------------- Entering an age of Austerity and now driving a Focus Diesel. |
