fooking commentators are useless - blaming the audi for the smash when it was blatently a honda :rolleyes:
and then no apology when they finally realise :lipsrsealed:

That Audi is properly jinxed. I don't think it's completed one racing lap yet this season.

Cracking result and lots of tv coverage for the golf :cool:
Looks like it's got some real pace, and from what i've read on the Detailing World build thread all of the other turbo cars are over boosting, the golf is the only one that isn't which makes it even more impressive!
-
I was there yesterday :cool: Tom really pushed the golf and he was doing really well.. Shut day for Plato in the first 2 races..
-
itv4 at 11am :cool:

Plato spitting the dummy out again :rolleyes:
-
not as much as the honda management :grin: :laugh:
-
not as much as the honda management :grin: :laugh:
:grin: :grin:
so what, exactly, is Plato moaning about?
-
Hondas being quicker than him basically!
I like him, because there are probably only 3 drivers who will really b!tch when theyre pissed off
Plato, hammy and Alponso
-
Well I know he is moaning about Honda's being quicker... but is there a specific mod or otherwise that is causing them to be quicker?
-
Just watched race 2. Last corner was epic as I'm not exactly a Matt Neal fan. The onboard shot where you could just hear him shouting 'F*cking idiot' at himself was simply amazing!
-
Imagine the sh!t he'd get if his pops didnt own the team!
an the sh!t flash would get for punching out the owners son
-

plato in an old spec engine
hondas run a new turbo engine
but they are meant to be a level playing field as such
:wink:

Guy
Plato's issue is that some whilst some cars have Turbos this year and some don't, the idea was for them to be competitive. As he sees it there is no competition the turbos can P*** all over the rest of the field on the straights. \they reduced the turbo power once to compensate but in his opinion not enough..
http://www.touringcartimes.com/article.php?id=6015 (http://www.touringcartimes.com/article.php?id=6015) explains more
-
thanks for the informative replies chaps :)
-
Ive got a KO4 i can sell him at a reasonable price
-
chevrolet had the chance to go turbo and didn't = Plato being a whinging little b!tch every btcc meet
-
Louise Goodman just said that Tom onslow cole and team have parted :huh:
-
Yeah WTF! I thought they'd been improving in each race.
Nick
-
is that why the golf is not in race 3? have only just turned it on
-
Loving the BMWs!
-
Couldn't believe the two Honda's!
Yea that's why he wasn't in it, they're not sure why they have parted ways.
Probably because he realized there was a competition to give away his car lol
-
maybe to do with the tyre choice in race 2? I noticed he was dropping down the order fairly quickly being the only guy on slicks front and rear, but then again you would have thought tyre choice was the drivers. Either way its a shame!

he was driving without a contract :laugh:
I got 2 months free, where do i turn up :grin:
-
money then! :sad:

To be honest i've lost all respect for TOC now, walking out 15mins before a race....not cool :undecided:
-
think it was the teams decision not to run the last race :huh:
-
think it was the teams decision not to run the last race :huh:
Yup, but was it not as a result of TOC declaring that he was leaving the team?
Just prior to race three, Onslow-Cole informed the team that he would be leaving to join another, unnamed, squad for the next round at Croft. AmD boss Shaun Hollamby therefore decided to withdraw its entry.
"We were told of Tom's decision 15 minutes before the final race today," he said. "There was no point [doing the race] because he doesn't have the money to fix any damage.

who doesn't have the money.. TOC or the Team? would it be TOC's responsibility to pay for repairs should there be any damage?
-
The money comes from both team and driver sponsors. No driver sponsors = no drive these days.
-
Just read that Shaun hollamby is gonna race croft and then see if he can get a new driver during the summer break
-
dont forget its croft today
watching race one, then off own the pub for fathers day lunch then back for race 2 onwards
