[BTCC] Thruxton Rounds 10-12

[TinTopGrumpy]

Only seemed to be Hill who gained positions off the start in a RWD car. I think it looked bigger than it was as Ingrams start was so bad. I wonder if that was because of the issues he had with seeing the lights?

yep Tings is typically a very good starter, but the 2nd phase of his start was abysmal. Hill even said himself on the grid, he was expecting to jump only cammish

Wondered whether Rowbottom had an overlap at the safety car restart - penalised 2 places.

These Tom Ingram interviews are pretty annoying now. No idea if hes doing it on purpose or if its just his personality.

He just seems to be a bit of a magnet for incidents recently, probably trying a wee bit to hard to get some good results in all honestly.

Not sure Ingram will keep that if he wins - both moves on Cammish and Hill are up for dispute!

wouldn't Sutton fail a ride height ?

Not for damage, no.

I remember Matt Neal was DQ for ride height while bumper was down due to accident damage

Definitely his personality, he's been doing it for years. I personally find them pretty funny but I can see how it could grate.

10 years ago. We've had damaged cars since then pass.

[crmalcolm]

A DQ for ride height depends on if the damage is self-inflicted

[porsche962fan]

my bet Tingram will get a few seconds penalty that puts him behind Cammish

[porsche962fan]

Cammish hinted also on Tingram move

since he hit Hill counts as self inflicted ?

Anyone know what they yellow was for?

Don't think it was a yellow. It had stripes on it so it would have been a surface flag.

As there wasn't any following flags of either yellow or green, it must be presumed either it was a red & yellow flag which didn't show up well from the TV cameras, or it was showing in error. I think that Ingram held station initially, and only continued the pass after they had passed the next one or two flag points on the circuit.

[Mike Harte]

As no bulletin has been posted yet, I would hazard a guess that the results stand for both Ingram and Sutton.

[ScottS]

I think I've just seen that Ingram is now classified P3 with Hill taking the win and Cammish now P2.

[porsche962fan]

Tingram demoted 2 places behind Cammish

double win for Hill

I like Ingram but that was completely the right decision IMO.

[Matt K]

Yeah shame to have results changed post-race but unfortunately the right decision. Shame Ingram didn't back off after passing Cammish. He'd probably have won anyway.

[stuart thompson]

Hilarious from Ingram there, yes he cut the corner to avoid contact, but he made absolutely zero attempt to close the advantage he made from that move. To me that was a slam dunk.

Exactly, the advantage he gained was massive, it just wouldn't look good (and would set a worrying precedent) if they allowed him to keep that win. Shame for Tingram, sorry to see him lose it but yeah, a right call I'm afraid.
