Today's race had everything- contact, controversy, numerous passing for the lead, racing 3 by 3! You could not have scripted a better race than that! If you didn't get to see it, I strongly suggest you catch a rerun of that!

What does everyone feel about Buxton keeping his win after straightlining the chicane? Having caught a replay of it on Motors tv, I think the incident was definitely avoidable. Regardless, Danny is still my driver of the day.:)

I think the ruling is you mustn't get an advantage - well he was leading and he wasn't going to lose the lead so no advantage.

They would have penalised him for it but Jonathan Fildes defended him saying that he hadn't given Daniel enough racing room, forcing him wide. He reckoned that Daniel didn't gain that much anyway so would like the results to stand.

The Clios are always agreat fun but that race was a real cracker.

I was a little dubious about watching them from the chicane again this year but luckily there was no need to pick bits of them out of my hair this time!

Its not often you see cars 3 abreast through there once never mind repeatedly!

Great drive from Mr Buxton!
