I'm not surprised about the injuries to Luke Davenport #Team Shredded Wheat... you can see the car in the footage, Its absolutely demolished.. must've hit something mega hard.

Hope all drivers recover ok

Terrible incident, cars going into already crashed cars, t-boning is always going to be the worst sort of incident. Hopefully all involved pull through with no long term damage, physically and mentally.

Cracking first race! Lots of contact and incidents.

Minibiker · 11 Jun 2017 at 12:53

Was a great race.. Neal going out was a bonus... The front 2 were just unstoppable..

Minibiker · 11 Jun 2017 at 12:55

Big impact in the Ginetta race... can always count on these lads giving us some entertainment

They seriously need to sort out the contact between cars in BTCC. Just makes it look like a bunch of amateurs given fast cars sometimes. Might have thought that having 3 guys in hospital at the moment may have calmed them down a bit, but no.

We-e-e-ell...sounds about right.

I genuinely think that driving standards are getting worse, in both the BTCC and the supporting categories. As soon as someone dies they might do something about it...

These Ginetta juniors at are a mad bunch... how hectic was that for a first lap... its like they all want to win in on the first lap

vanpeebles · 11 Jun 2017 at 14:20

The juniors never disappoint

They always go hell for leather. I've always said they should bin the porsche racing and have more Ginetta juniors.

What an ending to that race.... a lot of entertainment... Prilaux dropping from 1st to 3rd, When they entered the final lap I was expecting a big collision on the last bend :cool:

Minibiker · 11 Jun 2017 at 14:51

Here we go... I'm going for Turkington to win

vanpeebles · 11 Jun 2017 at 14:58

I was sure this was going to be a wet race, I wonder if it will hold off for now. Some dark clouds outside now but just spitting a bit.

vanpeebles · 11 Jun 2017 at 14:58

Haha, a car was well buried in the field there!!

Minibiker · 11 Jun 2017 at 18:20

Nice to see the shredded wheat guys take the victory after yesterday's accident which left Davenport in a bad way

Amazon Prime released a series on Le Mans the other day, no idea what it's like but planning to watch it this week.
Just search for Le Mans: Racing is Everything

Looks like Formula 1 is returning to Paul Ricard next year

The_Abyss · 19 Jun 2017 at 16:24

Triple header in draft calendar for 2018!

Paul Ricard? Seriously?
