Gutted for Tordoff and AmD, he was controlling the field until that bobble, but hey ho 2nd isn't to be sniffed at given the horrible start of the season he's had.
Can always get on board with an Andy Jordan title charge, this is the best he's looked since 2014. |

Turks leads the title by 1 point from Sutton
so dead battery for Tordoff which means no power steering Last edited by porsche962fan; 19 May 2019 at 11:47. |

Don't know what anyone else thinks but I'm finding this year a tad boring. Can't put my finger on what but there's something missing. Everything seems a bit stale. Probably not helped by the fact that that 1st race was so uneventful.
This years not looking too good for team hard. They seem to be getting worse every year. Can't see Jack Goff attracting any new sponsors with 21st place |

Enjoying this Mini se7en race, much more exciting than the Porsches.
Hope they’ll do the same next year, they could scrap all the other support races for one round and do all minis with the amount of different classes if you include all the Mini Challenge stuff too, not just the JCWs. |

The support races need more variety, the paying punter doesn't want to watch endless Ginetta races. There should be another single seater series. I can understand why Porsche are missing this meeting as there are more interesting circuits they can race at. |

TCT would be a better support series

I'd like to see them showcase a different tintop club series at each circuit. It would be a great way of getting people interested in the grass roots. |

I agree. I know it's not that simple, but I'd have no single seaters on the schedule, and I don't think Porsches suit either. I'd prefer to put them on the BGT bill.

Tim revelead a big problem
the top gear is mandated and it's too short and you can't pass even with slipstream Tim also mentioned "unofficial FWD category" Last edited by porsche962fan; 19 May 2019 at 14:11. |

Great job by AJ and the whole BMW team. I reckon this is the best team out there, the biggest manufacturer input, financially very stable, WSR's always been a top team and now they've got newly developed car. I'd be surprised if BMW lost this year's title.
And nice to see Cammish twice on the podium. |

Well if they keep being this dominant then i can see the authorities pegging them back a bit

Cars with full ballast should not be unchallenged at the front. The decrease in weight for this year was a step back.

The decrease in weight was a daft idea, last year we had 1 occasion where R1 winner won R2, now its just been made easier to win the second race

Hmm... just seen the results, 5 wins from 8 races from BMW seems a little more weighted than it perhaps should...?

Morgan isn’t having much luck avoiding people this year is he?

Josh Cook wins race 3.
Who would've thought Rory Butcher would've been joint championship leader!? Looks like we're set for 2 rounds of BMW domination next, though... |

Must agree the races were lacking something this weekend, Lets hope the next round is better. Fingers crossed.

How long is it until we consider Rory Butcher a Championship contender then?
Fast, clean and consistent in a car that's proven as one of the best on the grid. |
