Excellent days racing and the safety car worked a treat. It was a really good move by Jason to pit just before the Safety car came out so he ended up 1 lap in front on everyone else. The safety car came out again (I'm sure I saw a Ford ?Menu pit while it was out) which closed the gap but he held on to the lead until the end.
I do believe Vauxhall lead the championship - wow!!!! |

It is good for the Vauxhall team but Plato was SOOO lucky to have got that one! Don't discount Muller's performance, he contributed more in my view with 2 excellant drives in a much improved car.
Ford are stronger than I thought they'd be, which is good for Rickard, but he hasn't got quite the setup he'd like at the moment so his race pace needs improvement. It's encouraging though. The Hondas weren't anything spectacular as I was expecting, but I've decided I like Kristensen, he's a character and a half! |

Muller was the star of the day - must have been me and Dave cheering him on that did it! Don't discount him for the title at the end of the year - mark my words.
Matt Neal was a bit of an arse - went backwards, backwards, backwards in the first race. Don't know what happened in the feature (not seen the TV coverage yet) but he must have fell off half way through the race. |

Just watching the TV coverage now - looks like Matty took a dive up the inside of Kristensen, putting them both in the wall...
Kristensen is not a happy bunny. |
