I don't know anything about BTCC, but I signed up as well...Thanks Julie.

No Jason Plato...?

Have Seat pulled out their works team...?

**Greig** · 20th March 2009, 15:52

Yes mate sure they have

**Tobes** · 20th March 2009, 16:01

That's pretty poor show...

The TDi was a very good car, would have thought a huge company like VAG could have continued in something like the BTCC, even in this economic climate, it's hardly going to break the bank, they're still in the WTCC I watched them at Curitiba last week (or the week before).

Sometimes you get really late entries though, so we'll have to wait and see....

**Ste** · 20th March 2009, 18:26

Cheers Julie, had forgotten about this. Let's hope I can do better than last season.

Ste | BTCC for the win!

**MikeyS** · 21st March 2009, 23:12

I've signed up too, going to follow it more this year I think!

**Tifosi** · 3rd April 2009, 13:58

I'm in again - won't win again

**Mrs.Domenicali** · 3rd April 2009, 14:01

No Tom Coleslaw - most disappointing

Count me in - I dont know a thing but I'll give it a go!

**Tifosi** · 5th April 2009, 17:40

What upsets me the most Jules is the fact that I chose my better half (Vanessa)'s team for her...........

God I love Jason Plato!

**Ste** · 5th April 2009, 18:19

Awesome! Although I seem to remember last season started well before declining into an abyss.

Jason Plato has been declared the winner of the HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship’s third race at Brands Hatch after officials penalised Jonathan Adam who had crossed the line in first position.

Adam was adjudged to have unfairly knocked Plato out of the lead as their cars entered Paddock Hill Bend a couple of laps into the race.

The incident enabled Adam to take over the lead and he went on to cross the line 3.845s clear of Plato.

But after looking at the evidence, BTCC officials have concluded the move was unfair and added four seconds to Adam’s time – thus relegating him to second position.

Adam’s Airwaves BMW team has chosen not to appeal the penalty.

Plato has thus been handed the 47th race win of his career - the victory is also the first in the BTCC for the Chevrolet marque since 1975!

The decision therefore means a change in the points standings. Plato and Adam had been tied for fourth but now the spot becomes the sole ownership of Plato with 22 points, while Adam has dropped to fifth.

Affects the positions a wee bit.....
