Having seen the Plato inseredents on TV I'm not sure what to think about them.

I know Jason held his hand up and said yes I hit him, but it wasnt intential. I do think being disqualifed was a bit harsh. Now Ive never been a big Plato fan, but I always agree when he drives well, and today he did have 2 naughty accidents in the race, but that one wasnt that bad I dont think.

But then its not up to me, and if it were it may have had to go to a pannel vote. LOL.

Anyway some good racing today.
1. Fiona did very well t get 6th place in race 2 (or is it 5th now?)
2. Rob Collard holding of Tom Chilton was good too. Tom had the faster car no doubt about it.
3. Mark Procotors new livery was very nice too.

plato said on toca radio that tom "attempted" to put him on the grass and he is just the kind of driver who keeps the "throttle in." just watched what he said on itv and he completely contricted himself and admitted fault. wasn't impressed, deserved to be excluded. thought tom drove brilliant today, as did howell!

Must say that today was a great day although not too impressed with the plato chilton accident!

I must admit it but after my initial dislike for the man, I am getting more and more impressed with Chilton! Since his ear bashing for the Thruxton accident this year he has matured more and more and his race 1 win was testament to this, although i remain to be convinced of his championship winning potential for years to come!

Was quite disgusted at the cheers that rang out when muller retired and i'm sure that with two close retirements it has eased the path to the title for Matt and his eventual title at brands will be slightly hollow as i'm sure he like any good driver, would prefer things to be a closetr run to the wire!

Collard was also very mighty in race 3 and his absorbsion of the pressure from Chilton was simply sublime!

All in all a great day and the rewards went to the right men! So did the punishments!

I thought there were another excellent 3 races again today, very entertaining as usual. Gareth Howell's win in race three and Tom Chiltons win in race 1 were particularly good.

Fiona Leggate did Brilliantly well to get 5th in race two, her best ever result! :) She manged to keep out of all the trouble and thoroughly deserved the excellent result, especially when you consider this is only her third season of racing of any kind! Hopefully this result will help her attract some more funding for next season, it would be a terrible shame if she isn't able to get the funding to compete again in 2006.

I was impressed with how many cheered her when she passed anyone.

She just needs a little more practice with Copse ;)

Indeed, I was in Woodcote A and the cheer for her was louder than that for anyone else most of the day!!!!

ive not been to many race meeting this year, but the ones I have been to where Fionas been about, on the slowing down lap there is always a cheer for Fiona, which is fantastic, not matter where she finishes.
She has a big fan base by the look of it.

Well done Fiona.

Hope Fiona can get out again in 2006, she must be one of the most marketable drivers as how many good females do we actually have. Susie Stoddart is the only one I can think of (apologies to Amy and Annabel but you are not in that class). Fiona has proved that she can be on the pace and given time she will be on the podium

Indeed, marketable for tow reasons!

1, she is a young, reletivley inexperienced, female who, given the situation is doing quite well

2, he car does not run on octane related propulsion!!!!
