BTCC 2019 - Knockhill - Rounds 21, 22, 23

another thing among the title protagonists this time there is no real "villain" or controversial team maybe AJ comes closest with his temper but you wouldn't mind any of those guys winning it

if Cammish has a good Silverstone and knowing that Honda will work realy good at Brads GP and he won twice last year I do see him with the title

Could we see the customer Honda team assisting him if needed? Just imagine the qualifying tow he could get from Neal, Cook and Smiley.

I think BTC would probably do it, they probably wouldn’t be where they are now without TD’s assistance

[porsche962fan]

overlooked a bit

the Indy standings are very close on top

Cook 336
Butcher 335

and then a long gap

Chilton 259
Tordoff 256

Is Matt Simpson's relationship with TD strong enough to add support the effort too?

[S griffin]

Tbh Simpson has been more a midfield runner this season

That wouldn't prevent him from giving a tow in Q.

Btc aren’t going to give dynamics a tow because cook can still win the championship

I still think they might. It could be a reciprocal arrangement to both of their benefits.

[S griffin]

Cook might have a mega weekend, and that would throw the cat among the pigeons

As good as response to that as Moffat’s response to the ‘keyboard warrior’ on FB

[Alfisti]

LOL!

No need for the bright orange, the Dynamics black allows you to sneak up ninja like on the car in front. And then pounce!

Having just looked at the Indy table following a post a few back I'm rather shocked at how poor Motorbase have been this year. I totally rate Sonic, either his driving really doesn't suit the car, the engineers aren't the best or the car is off the pace. I'd say the latter as Mat Jackson really had to hustle the car hard and is the only guy in recent years to have done very well at Motorbase.

[S griffin]

Considering Sonic's margin over OJ I'd say it's more the car

[Pdh]

Chilton did finish 3rd overall last year so he can’t have done that bad in the car maybe it’s just a bad year for them or having only one good driver in the team this year has hurt them

[VIVA GT]

Motorbase do seem to suffer more that their far share of bad luck, plus the cars seem even more closely matched this year (how many qualified within a second of each other at Knockhill?) meaning it's easy to be caught up in the mid-pack madness. Don't forget that Chilton also had a win taken from him at Brands for pulling a Matt Neal move on Matt Neal too at the start of the season.

For a benchmark,
Chilton is 7pts behind Plato.
Jackson had half the points of Collard.

something funnyin race 3


Sutton spent half the race trying to get passed Moffat in the very same car he test drove a couple of days before

[S griffin]

And your point is?

God some of you on here could argue in an empty room. Isn’t it obvious the post was mearly pointing out the irony of it ?....

[S griffin]

Only someone seemed to notice it though...

[Alfisti]

Doesn't prove much is the simple answer.

Aidan knows Knockhill very well indeed.

Aidan has had more seat time in the Infiniti than Ash.

The Subaru is a spent force. That is a quote from a chap within the team who I am not naming.

I also happen to rate Aidan very highly. Very highly.

Throw in the mix are you really going to risk bumping your new teammate for a slightly higher finish a million miles from a podium - no, you're not. For silverware I'm sure caution would be reduced!

[porsche962fan]

risk bumping your new teammate

is that the sure thing ?

[Matt K]

Is Sutton really poised to Infiniti switch? I'd like to see him changing teams but not sure whether Infiniti is a great idea...

If/when it gets announced, it will probably be the least surprising driver move in the off-season.
