Love it! Never miss it, 7 hours of being in front of the TV not moving!

Hopefully Subaru can pull something out the bag this weekend!

Amazing drive for Ash Sutton, I don't think Subaru quite have the pace they need however Sutton definitely has the skill needed!

Definitely a talented driver coming through the ranks. BMR need to do something about Plato's car

Another fantastic race! Is this the turning point for BMR racing?! Sutton had an amazing race out the blocks and has really shown just what that Subaru can do!

Plato seemed to have a decent race as well, maybe he is becoming one with his car?! However i do think they need to start moving up the ranks quite quickly or i don't think Jason will stay for much longer!

I cant stand them 2 Honda drivers, the pair of them seem to think they deserve to win every race. They've got to be the 2 biggest wankers in motor racing.

Really?! I think they are fantastic drivers, they have raced together for so long they know what each other is thinking!!

Matt is only a big headed prick because he owns the team

I don't belive there is a bad driver out there. Some are better than others though for sure.
I think both Matt and Gordon are amazing drivers but are cry babies. All smiles when the going is good but awful when up against it. I hate to see the Hondas win but can appreciate the drive and team effort.
I am a Plato fan through and through. It kills me to see his current dilemma with the Subaru. It's not his form - he can drive the tits off anything.
I like Matt Jackson, Rob Collard, Turkington, Aiden Moffat and deffo Ash Sutton. Ash is deffo one to watch out for.
Morgan can be awesome but not consistent whereas Ingram who is fairly new is really taking to it but what a disaster this weekend with 3 DNF's.
Underdogs are Newsham and not performing how he potentially can and Rob Austin who is doing better with the switch to the Toyota from the Audi.
Thought Tom Chilton may have done better as he is competing in the WTCC at the same time. Old school drivers think they can come back into it but rarely succeed. Giovinardi, Menu, Priloux etc.
Biggest cry baby is Andrew Jordan. Loved seeing his dad race. My worst driver of all time and can't belive he went onto compete in the WTCC is Tom Boardman - totally immature and unprofessional.
Just my 2p worth.
Oh and BTW, nothing will ever beat the Cosworth days even though the NGTC cars are quite cool these days.

Couldn't agree with you any more if I'm honest! Again a really big Plato fan here however having been a Subaru salesman untill last year I appreciate the car and can see the car going far once a few issues are sorted.

Echo what you say with the Honda's but they get where they are through working as a team and that plays a massive part in their success!

Oh I know lol. Never happier than when he was in the diesel Seat with all the torque pulling away from everything on every corner.
He is Marmite.
Wouldn't want to cross Matt Neil either as he is into all that MMA shit too lol. That said so is Tony Gillham - fight fight fight.....
Sad day when Jason and Matt retire but I think as long as one is doing it the other will have to.
