Some good racing but shame teams should decide who wins and who does not.It still goes on in F1 but is frowned upon it needs to stop.Gordon Sheddon was the quickest man out there in race 3 and should have won....:cool:

ALSO!!! Mr pinkey jumping Martyn Bell under saftey car conditions in the 3rd race:mad: he was the first to moan in race 2 when he got shunted:rolleyes: ITV and comentators did not even pick up on this i wish i motorstv to see the whole field...

Come on Martyn:)

I'm sure I saw plato jump mark proctor as well at scotsman turn (i think that's what it's called) when they had yellow flags out becuase Rob Collard had gone off

Dave did NOT "jump" Martin under safety car conditions. You are supposed to Race to the line on the lap the safety car is deployed, and he passed him at the last corner, well before the start line at the top of the hill.

I thought at Knockhill it was a bit different and you race only to the final corner and immediately after it fall into line under a safety car period?

Nope it is race to the line and fall into formation. And team orders are allowed in the BTCC as I asked Mr.Gow about it when the Seats did a similar thing.

Why should Knockhill be different? You could say the same about Croft! They have a hairpin before the start straight!

All circuits are the same. Upto the start-finish line!

It;s a shame Sheds wasn't allowed to take the win in front of his home crowd, the way he caught up with Matt & Gareth, he would easily have passed them had they been racing and when he was "allowed" in front he pulled out a lead up to the hairpin (where I was watching), before Matt had the lead back the next time round!

Sorry but the standings have been corrected Martyn Bell came 9th Dave Pinkey 10th(you heared it here 1st).Rightly so it was obvious everyone was in formation under the safety car.Unlucky Dave!!!Welldone Martyn

Where have you found this information?

It is not on BTCC.Net, neither on MST!

Bell’s BMW 320i dramatically crossed the line in eighth in race two filling up with smoke after running over debris from Jason Plato’s crashed SEAT. He then backed that up with a ninth in race three to achieve his biggest points haul since joining the BTCC at the start of the season.

That may well be his source.

The results page, however, still shows Pinkney 9th and bell 10th.
