Pleased Flash won, a genuinely nice guy who has come so close in the past. Gutted for the MG team as I know a few of them but not gutted for Plato.

Really happy for Shedden!! And Jason's still got nothing to worry about,champ or not he will still get more air time on tv than any other driver and will always have the blinkered commentators favouritism!! :-)

The TMS BTCC campaign seems to have been a complete Fiasco

6 cars on the grid next year

Possibly 10

Nearly half the grid?
Who will be doing the engine mapping?

Has he made up with Swindon?

http://www.thorney-v...rneyRacing.html Honest review so fair play but also shows the naievity when it comes to the cost of Motorsport.

That review glosses over lots of failings and issues

[MrSimba]

he said "John, we've watched your team all season, none of you have quit or even looked like quitting once, you clearly are punching above your weight financially and put heart and soul into everything you do, we cant help but be impressed with that. We want our name associated with you because our business is the same, we pride ourselves on being successful in our business but we also pride ourselves on conducting our business with the same level of pride and perseverance, our customers expect it and I think you do too. We're proud to be involved with Thorney Motorsport"

You'd have thought his success (cough) running the team of 3 (or 4?) VX racing cars would have given him an inkling as to what he might expect!

BTCC is a world away from anything TMS have done before.

I was being ironic ...

Obviously not eh!
Tell us more Ian...

All you have to do is read through all the press releases. Second driver and car disappeared at start of season. Moans about Swindon engines and NGTC suppliers. Stockton sponsors car for last 2 race, Silverstone and Brands, falls ill at Silverstone, sponsorship comes off the car and Gillham drives it, Stockton then buys a Chevy from RML. Gillham then buys a the Insignia and the partially built second car. There are lots of other things that have gone on too.

[rob999]

Been reading Ollie's comments on PH Ian. What's AMD's plan for next year? Moving to NGTC with the majority?

[ianrm]

We are not sure what we will be doing yet.

Yes,,,,think he's now got more basher than supports Chris,don't mind his driving its his boring interviews that's the problem,he's even sponsored by an energy drink company just so his team don't fall to sleep listening to him,lol

So are we only allowed to bash Thorney on here then??

[christhegasman]

Tend to agree that both Plato and Matt Neal make Kimi Raikonen sound charismatic when interviewed but shed comes over a genuine happy to be there guy and good luck to him nice win !
