From my experience of Alan Gow, when he races 2cvs he seems to think he is above the law. Speeding in the pit lane etc and is also fairly physical on track too! Is there anyone who you've raced against who is polite, gentlemanly and hasn't barged you off the track? Baz Baz, I haven't personally raced against him, he races a 2cv at the annual 24 hr race and I had to run out of his way when he was driving through the paddock at Mondello and he always used to come blasting down the pit lane just before he finished his stint. There are very view drivers I have raced against that are ungentlemanly only a handful are. Dad was driven off the track by the car that was exclusively driven by women. Damaged the car really badly, an unscheduled pitstop was needed. |

Good pic, Michael. I agree, better than the one they used!
I think the MSA are going to have to create a new flag to warn drivers they are approaching an accident blackspot ....... just because you're perched on the banking taking photographs!!!

Check out my pic of the rolled FBMW in Motorsport News! ;D However, they didn't use this rolling one of mine which I thought was much better!!!  I don't think you can get better than this - excellent shot - you do seem to get into the best positions, don't you.  |

They sadly failed to accurately portray how good our (Legend) racing was. Probably, we had more passes in our five lap Heat1 than the rest of the other series all weekend!! You're not wrong - the reports in MN and Autosport are extremely indifferent towards the legends which is really disappointing considering we were (so we keep getting told at least) much more entertaining than the mostly processional Seat races for example. Shame they couldn't get the facts straight either - both mags seem to reckon that the race on Saturday ended after 5 laps for no apparent reason! Hello, huge pileup and red flag at first start?  Don't want to seem too bitter but it's a shame we've ended with such short thrift in the national press. |

I'm sorry Mike, next time tell me when you're going to have a massive pile up and I'll be there to capture it for MN and Autosport!  ;D Dick, it just so happens that the photographer I was working for has the driver as one of his clients so he's got it! And David, we should design one!  |

Brilliant footage expecially the donuts hope that the crowd appreciated all their efforts. Keep up the support, 6 races this weekend so should be plenty of action.

Noticed Ben's Oops  and Sweetyman milking the crowd 25 entries for Legends this weekend and with only a race between I'm told any damage means you miss the next race. A sobering thought. Ali |

Well done to Fabrizio Giovanardi on becoming champion. 8 titles between the Spanish, Italian, European and British Championship - what a man.
But gutted for Plato though - the burns he had can't have been easy to race with - though he still looked on form in the first two races. Twat of the day with a Vauxhall contract for 2008 in his pocket goes to Matt Neal, waves through Gio and Chilton then holds up Plato. I don't begrudge Gio the title, but what Neal did was just purely un sporting.

But given Plato's driving style a lot of the time I'd tend to suggest that if you live by the sword....
Well done to Gio, good to see international stars coming back to the BTCC!

Twat of the day with a Vauxhall contract for 2008 in his pocket goes to Matt Neal I disagree, twat of the day award goes to whoever in Vauxhall signed his contract when there are umpteen more talented and more deserving drivers on the sidelines and some already in the BTCC. Why does Matt want to race for vauxhall anyway ? Wouldnt he rather be in his dads team where he can get things done however he wants ? |

That's what confuses me too Andrew, he's always been daddy's boy - it also questions whether Team Dynamics will still be around next year ?
Sort of true Mike..
