Brands has a better chance of deciding who will come first. Plato could podium every race with Giovanardi nowhere to be seen. Game Over.

Plato could get 3 podiums at Brands... then all it'll need is for Plato to have 3 DNF's at Knockhill, and its wide open again.
it's gonna be like 2004... fastest lap to decide it :rolleyes:

Not really too many places to hide there when the rain comes down!

Thruxton is the closest one for myself and Dad... not more than 100 miles to the curcuit id say :)
Knockhill and Croft are the 2 long haul ones... 400 and 500+ miles respecivly id guess at
