So what did you think of today’s first 3 btcc rounds and don’t forget the support races?

Great opener to the season.
Made a change from Brands Hatch topping and tailing the season.

Round 2 got a bit interesting

Booking my tickets today for Snetterton next month

Round 2 was certainly interesting to say the least! What do you think of Neate? As I’ve seen a lot of “remove his licence” on book of face. Mechanical failure but brakes and lights to fail at the same time .....

I gave up with Facebook groups on Motorsport....Much general nastiness and dodgy opinions voiced for my liking lol!
We shall just have to see how his season pans out.

On that note, just bought my weekend tickets for Snetterton. If anyone is thinking of going I would book fast as MSV (Motor Sport Vision) suggest that tickets maybe limited to 4000 on each day.

I hate all the rubbish that is said on the groups. al you seem to get is hate for drivers if they made mistakes.

I’m a Plato fan and always has been so its nice to see him in the top ten for all 3 races. Did you see his interview when he came second? His last remark... 'win 2 races you get a big ego'.... typical Plato dig at someone...

I thought it was very good racing. I'll admit I'm one of the ones who questions whether Neate should still be in it, he had a run of taking other people out last year, and again this year claims the brakes failed, but the lights didn't come on until he'd left the track. Also I think I later saw a photo of the decision by the clerk of the course stating that from data provided by the team he could find no evidence of any failure, fined £2000 and 3 points on racing license.

I was disappointed with Plato, I've always liked watching him, one of those drivers that makes it interesting. His racing was good, very happy to see him take 2nd, and hope he can make his 100 wins this season. But comments against Cook were out of order.

Biggest problem for me this year is distinguishing who is in which car, all cars and liveries seem easily confused.

Sutton, Ingram and Chilton are also fun to watch. Plus, can't remember who it was, but that car that was on slicks in the last race and went completely sideways, onto the grass and then managed to saved it, some great driving!
