looks like you had a wicked day mate! i watched the last race on tv once i'd arisen from a hungover state lol
Jason Plato won again which is good for the tdi, i saw them at Brands Hatch for the first rounds of the series and it was quick then, but they've been working on it to improve it so it must fly now!

i only watched the 3rd race mate, and as soon as that finished i had to go and get the mrs! also saw the porkas and the renault stick cars that were on before the BTCC.
did you see the massive crash in the stick cars, i think the car flipped 4 times?

yeah the driver in that crash was japanese (explaining the smallness
), i think it landed on his head 3 times but he still got out of the car unassisted. the car was a mess but the strength of the car was unbelievable!
Jason Plato has always been my fave driver he always seems to be right in the thick of it all the time lol
i also heard he got disqualified from race one? any ideas what happened there?

ye he failed the ride height test at the end of the 1st so he started from te back on race 2 but it only took him one lap to get to 10th pos!

oh right, didn't know you could be failed on ride height, i knew you have to be within a certain weight though. where did he finish in the first race then?
