Shedden was extemely unlucky in the 1st 2 races, although i thought the crash with Smith was a racing accident. Pinkney's remarks and gestures about Smith made me laugh [Maybe I should grow up], we need characters like that in racing!

It was good for Team Dynamics to get that 1-2-3 in the third race (though they had some fortune in Colin Turkington's retirement).

theres not just some Bad blood they have been fighting all this year and last year. Its to be expected for them both to blame the other. Though all you need to do is look at the incident as a neutral (Quite hard if your a Seat or Team Halfords fan) and it does help to see who caused it. As I have said in the Knockhill thread that second race accident was really just a racing incident no one to blame.

I was stood at Clark all day as its a favourite spot of mine for pics,and it was an accident that was bound to happen as all the cars were so so close together coming over the kerbs,it was gonna happen sooner or later,still great racing tho.

I'm not a huge fan of Plato, he's as guilty as anyone for driving into people, and it's always justified ("I was testing my steering" was last years excuse after side swiping someone coming out of the hairpin and punting them into the barriers), but as soon as Plato's off someone else is dangerous, unfair, driving like a **** etc.
All racing drivers are top class whingers :rolleyes:

Knockhill Last yr - Plato on Neal, trying to overttake a retiring Yvan Muller. Matt Neal called Jason Plato a pig! i loved that!
its a case of sour grapes on the part of Jason Plato, can't accept that he can't win the title while Matt Neal is around... yes, it is a tad biased coz i follow Team Halfords!:)

Unfortunately Plato had every right to whinge when Neal drove into him at Clarks. How anyone can call that anything but careless is beyond me
Plato took matt out at Snetterton? Are you referring to the 'racing incident' on the last lap when Neal and Plato hit each other at the Bomb hole then Neal tried a reckless dive down the inside at Russell.
I aint a fan of either driver and Plato can go over the top sometimes like when he drove into the ailing muller at silverstone, but Neal took Plato out at Knockhill whereas Snetterton they were both as bad as each other
Oh and its Matt NEAL, not Matt Neil

It was a racing Incident I agree but I find it funny that Plato was the one who was complaining about Matts dirty racing in Race two but to me that pic shows Plato hitting Matt into a spin. And Tsunami99 you trying to say that PLato didnt hit Matt into a spin on that last lap accident.

Only cause due to the other cars dunting into each other there was nothing Plato could do,he was a passenger imo,in this case a picture does not prove anything,you cant see any of the carnage happening behind there.I did...

When I was saying Plato had every right to complain about Neal's driving I was referring to the incident at Clark in the 2nd race on lap 2 I think it was, when Neal appeared to try and dive down the inside in a move that was never going to happen but ended up going into the back of Plato and pushing him off
That was the move Plato "whinged about"
