FRv6 Donnington!

[Gaz]

That would ring true with the fact that they pulled all manufacturer backing from F3 last year....yet oddly they still run their RDD programme with the formulae. I expect all that will end next year....

[Kicking-back]

It will do, from what I've heard.

[Kidzer]

Ryan's penalties aren't final yet

[Kicking-back]

Ryan's drive in that race was pretty poor.

He was all over the place.

If he'd kept calm he could've won.

[tonyp]

how many actually stopped and watched this race,we thought we'd make a sharp exit but i think everyone had same idea

Agree entirely.... There is no excuse for Delahunty to pronounce drivers' names in a totally different way every time he says them... every time wrong. Why are these two in constant employment when they embarrass themselves with every sentence?

I was at donny specifically for FRv6, didn't like GT's because i never knew who was leading after the 1st hours but the ETCC was soo good to watch aswell!

Ryan had a quite spectacular race indeed, should get extra point for giving all his fans a heart attack at turn one, lap one! Has anyone seen it on TV because Jani didnae appear to give him any room at redgate, may just have been where i was thought

[Sid The Manager]

Where did you watch from Kidzer?

[Kidzer]

I was in a hospitality box at redgate, what happened, they went off where we could only see the cars not the track you see

[Sid The Manager]

I was at Redgate as well, I thought that you could tell me where they all went!

[Mackmot]

I was at redgate too with Peter Gray, not seen him for ages.

[Paul Rayner]

Sharp got a great start and pulled alongside Jani as they went into Redgate. They were both pushing hard though, and Sharp was on the outside - the wrong side - and just got squeezed out. Nothing wrong with it, just racing. That let Alx Danielsson through into the lead as both the front row starters went wide, Sharp off. He came back on further down the order (7thish), tangled with Campanico (for which he got a penalty after the race) went into the pits three times, and overtook Bell for second as they exited the pits (as they approached Redgate which was still under yellows because Danielsson had spun off there, so he got another 20 second penalty). He then went wide later in the race, dropping behind Bell and Bruce Lorgere-Roux, but getting back ahead of the latter to finish third.

[Kidzer]

So really, a not bad race from Ryan considering all that happened, 3rd on track, penalties still not final though

[Paul Rayner]

Yeah, a good race, he drove well and had some luck on his side.

But you signature needs changing, Kidzer. He's third now...

[Kicking-back]

Were you watching the same race?

Ryan drove appallingly.

All his incidents were of his own making.

He could have had an easy win if he'd kept his head,

[Kidzer]

Easy to say that, not so easy to do though
Away to change sig

[beastie]

I'm not saying ryan had a great race but in race 1 from my view point(about 2 feet from my tv) he was alongside jani going into turn one and to me it looked like jani didnt even think about turning untill ryan was well off the track!!! why did jani not get penalised for that- to me thats dangerous driving!!!jani doesn't think about the saftey of any other drivers on the track he made blocking moves 2 or 3 time on the first straight leading to the first corner!! if he just accepted that he had a **** start everyone would probably have got round the first corner with no problems!!!

rant over!!

[Kidzer]

wahey...go beastie!

You know, you're completely right. In between his mistakes he drove well is what I meant to say, in other words he had good pace. But he did throw it off on his own.

[Kidzer]

Aye fair enough, he rescued it to 3rd place so I don't think 'appaling' is the right word, erratic perhaps, slightly red-misted, but definetley not appaling

[Kicking-back]

I think he's a good driver - and I'm not having a go at him.

All I'm saying is that he should never have been in the position where he had to do a "rescue effort".

He had the pace - consistency would have delivered a win.

[Kidzer]

ok, I think I overreacted a bit aswell, so sorry if i caused any offence

[Kicking-back]

Not at all.

You're clearly a stauch supporter of Ryan, it's perfectly understandable.

[Kidzer]

Well, i have been supporting Ryan since I first got interested in motorsport...about 6 years ago now i think

[beastie]

hey kidzer your gonna have to chenge that bit at the bottom of your posts cos ryan aint points leader anymore!!! i hope you didn't jinx him by putting that on!!! ha ha ha
