Tom's got a fairly safe drive with Arena in sportscar racing (LMS/ALMS) should Vauxhall and he 'amicably' decide to part.

Tom will "get the call to take out Plato"?

No such luck it seems... "Only for users with a UK internet connection". Is there any way to get around this?

The BTCC doesn't stray to horrid unsporting team orders like that!

(Cos it'll just happen anyway

)

Can you use a proxy server to fool the ITV server?

It doesn't make a lot of sense to make it for UK users only, surely people in the UK can watch it on a variety of channels, Setanta, ITV1, ITV4... etc, there's really no need for UK users to watch it over the net.

The UK only restriction is not specifically for BTCC, it's the same for all ITV web streaming. ITV only have UK broadcast rights for most shows - it's easier to put a blanket restriction than do something different for each show. It's the same for BBC, Channel 4, etc.

Giovanardi overtaking Chilton, how strange!

E46 · 14 Oct 2007, 10:27 (Ref:2039732)

Wow, what finish. What did happen with Chilton, Turner and Menu?

Robbe · 14 Oct 2007, 10:30 (Ref:2039736)

very interesting between the races!

I hope you all keep us updated, we have to watch Live Ticker again... But the race seemed interesting, with Plato and Coronel moving up

Ellmau · 14 Oct 2007, 10:37 (Ref:2039742)

What's the result?

redshoes · 14 Oct 2007, 10:49 (Ref:2039755)

Gio, Plato, Shedden
http://www.msttiming.com/gifresult.a...nd=round10.gif

It was Gio, Chilton, Menu, Plato until a couple of laps from the end. Chilton dropped out then Menu fell to forth

Ellmau · 14 Oct 2007, 11:00 (Ref:2039760)

So Gio gained 4 points on plato?

Sodemo · 14 Oct 2007, 11:01 (Ref:2039761)

Lots of punctures.

Race 2 should be a belter.

Super Hans · 14 Oct 2007, 11:02 (Ref:2039762)

Chilton, Turner and Menu all suffered from front-left punctures. I think both teams will be more cautious on set-up in race two.

**touringlegend** · 14 Oct 2007, 12:13 (Ref:2039821)

Matt Allison also had a puncture and Mike Jordan seemed to have put his steering out some what.

According to Tim Harvey if they keep off the kerbs in the first few laps the probably won't have any punctures. As he also said it was no surprise the two guys who needed to finish did..

Sodemo · 14 Oct 2007, 12:45 (Ref:2039838)

Good race 2, typical Plato tried a shoulder charge on Gio into the Campbell Cobb Segrave complex, but both escaped and lived to fight another day.

P1 Gio
P2 Plato
P3 Neal

E46 · 14 Oct 2007, 12:47 (Ref:2039839)

Absolutely amazing. 1 point difference with a race to go. Neal was clean with Plato.

safc_fan89 · 14 Oct 2007, 12:53 (Ref:2039844)

Did I just imagine this or did Louise Goodman just call Ben Edwards 'Tim Edwards'?

**touringlegend** · 14 Oct 2007, 12:58 (Ref:2039847)

No, no imagining !

Don't think I've ever wanted races to finish so quickly.

Tom Coronel has pole for Race 3, as a result of the reverse grid - Gio starts 7th with Plato 6th.

I can't call this one at all !!!!

Now a bit of relief with BSB...

Of course she did, it's not as if Louise Allen hasn't made that sort of mistake before

It wasn't too rough a move, and to be fair to Plato, Giovanardi had slowed dramatically, perhaps in an attempt to force Plato into the clutches of Matt Neal. Thankfully, Matt kept things clean.

Chilton drove all over the curbs, destroyed his tyres and threw it at the scenery. Who would have predicted that?

I thought with the speed Plato carried into Campbell, he would have found it very difficult to make the apex for Cobb, basically he used Gio as a barrier, if he wasn't there, he would have ran wide I believe.
