Turkington seems to be happier with his car now compared to the first part of the season. I think he said as much in the post quali interview.

the 2nd half of the season in general has been very close. would be interesting to see a points table post oulton

Wait, 0 hybrid laps for Hill? How is that possible?

porsche962fan · 6 Oct 2024, 10:36 (Ref:4229685)

wow

what luck for Hill

guess Turkington will let him thru

Matt K · 6 Oct 2024, 10:36 (Ref:4229686)

Well, this sums Sutton's season up perfectly....

v8supes · 6 Oct 2024, 10:36 (Ref:4229687)

LOL Josh Cook, the one thing you dont do in the final round is get involved in the championship battle.

Matt K · 6 Oct 2024, 10:37 (Ref:4229688)

What the heck did Cook do? He seems very proud of himself in the interview...

It's Hill's to lose now, Turkington will hand him the win I guess.

TinTopGrumpy · 6 Oct 2024, 10:42 (Ref:4229689)

Should that have been a red flag? Lots of debris, multiple cars needing recovery. Not fussed if Hill or Ingram wins but given it's the first lap I would have thought red would be more sensible.

porsche962fan · 6 Oct 2024, 10:48 (Ref:4229690)

Tingram to be investigated

Matt K · 6 Oct 2024, 10:56 (Ref:4229691)

What a drive from Tingram

Couldn't see anything wrong on the restart replay. Wonder what they saw?

Couldn’t really tell from the angle, but the only thing I potentially noticed was he was very close to overlapping Osborne before the line at the safety car restart. But assume ‘start’ means race start.

porsche962fan · 6 Oct 2024, 11:09 (Ref:4229694)

Hill 386
Tingram 381

this means on equal points Tingram cannot beat Hill

Matt K · 6 Oct 2024, 11:12 (Ref:4229695)

Ingram's facing an uphill battle. Both BMWs will be impossible to jump on the start, Turkington will be protecting Hill and become a driving chicane again. Can definitely see another victory for Hill while things might get hectic for combative Ingram.

porsche962fan · 6 Oct 2024, 11:14 (Ref:4229696)

Tingram is so much faster however and he will have more boost

Matt K · 6 Oct 2024, 11:16 (Ref:4229697)

Yep, fingers crossed for Tingram at that point.

If Tom was out of position at the start (I don't think he was based on the camera angle), a 5 second penalty would only drop him one place on the grid for race 2.

Deleon looks like he definitely was out of position.

One angle, they both look like they were to the left of the line, but the other it looks like they were inside that line.

I dont really get it. When Sutton and Ingram need to go through the field they can just do it with ease compared to anyone else. How do they do it?

They're the pick of the field talent wise. Id imagine it's easier coming through the field where it's a bit rough in a FWD car. Too rough in the BMW and you're getting spun easily in a pack.

Two world class drivers at the top of their game.

That, and a bunch of other drivers not wanting to be blamed for spoiling the party.

Why would they do that with Sutton? He was out of the championship before that race?

Matt K · 6 Oct 2024, 14:32 (Ref:4229713)

Well, R3 will be a cracker. Given the weather and that both Tingram and Hill start in the midpack, anything can happen really.
