[Wild Thing]

Rob Collard makes an appearance in scrap kings on quest.

 

[Dan]

Bit of an eventful two races. Collard and Burns crash and Sutton and Turks at the end of Race 2. Some absolute tubes on facebook giving dividing venomous opinions on both drivers. Any thoughts on here?

Suttons move looked dead on to me, he seen a gap got the wheel in, Turks held the line, swapped paint but inevitably lost the place. I'm all for Turk getting the place but I think it was a bit OTT penalising Sutton.

 

[Graham]

if you have to go all four off to make it round then there was clearly no room hence the penalty

 

[Graham]

It also shows that WSR are well clued in as a team, knowing the rule book and using it to their full advantage - hats off and Sutton has just accepted he maybe should have rethought the move but as a racer he tried

Shows he has class at least. And yeh any driver/team will contest where they believe they have a case.

All doesn't seem very worthwhile now though in Race 3....

Def not after what happened

 

[Shaun]

That Sutton decision was a joke tbh. Cant do it for one driver and not the other.

 

[Dan]

Excitement building

 

[Dan]

Turkington is on it!!!

Great race 2

 

[Graham]

isn't half !!!

 

[weeloaney]

Is absolutely flying, brilliant viewing

 

[Graham]

I hope that nudge doesn't get a penalty

 

[weeloaney]

It’s not over yet, Sutton’s dropping

Same, turkington never does that, moffit didn’t go much wide tho so like he may have brakes early

Only 5 points in it if he doesn’t get a penalty

 

[Dan]

Hopefully no penalty indeed, reverse grid hasn't helped lol

 

[Graham]

I did make a comment that the weight may help Turk on the harder tyre (which sutton is also on) however looking to be full wet meaning sutton may have advantage

 

[Dan]

Sutton will be rattled too in my opinion, he's looked rattled all day constantly focusing on Turkington rather than his own racing and P12 won't have helped

Probably grinning ear to ear with that news lol

So Sutton is slating Turks driving standards and also saying the rest of the grid are against him - i think Turk has done enough to get into his head and RACE ON at 5.15pm !!!

It's only strike 1 for Turks, let's face it, if Sutton was a clean driver he wouldn't be on strike 3.

I really like the mindset stuff Turks embodies, read quite a bit on it myself and it's a good way to think.

 

[Graham]

this is it !!!

 

[Graham]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[RoniN]

Balls !!!

Cheers

 

[weeloaney]

Well that’s a brilliant race ruined
