Bartrum and Motorbase are having a good time right now - was at Donington for their GT win last weekend too. It's good to see a newish team running up front

Mat Jackson deserved to win all the races. But well done by Jason Plato, my favorite. Glad to see Matt Neal being put in his place!

Plato was mega in the third race, possibly one of his greatest drives. I am glad that I witnessed that in the flesh. Mat Jackson was awesome as well, I'm glad he got a win, yet it could have been 2.

I'd rather see a full grid of various talent levels, instead of 2 cars of paid drivers. (Neal and Plato).

I do hope you're not condoning incidents that result in drivers being slammed into the barriers?

Neal's day did not go well by any account, but can you really say you enjoy seeing drivers ending up in the barrier or being exposed to the danger of a fire?

A wide range of talent is definitely a good thing, provided it is backed up with enough ability and the mindset to be safe and sporting.
