That'll do Rydell and Terting on the front row.

Good result for Huffy too, but bit of a tank slapper at the end of qualifying, means his crew will be burning the midnight oil to get that car straight.

Huffy's off kind of scuppered Thommo getting in a last minute fast lap too, but overall strong result for the Leon's.

Should be good racing tomorrow.

[MarkE]

What a race.

Loyalty issues, though - I kinda' really wanted Huffy to get on the podium.

Huffy did well too in 4th, nearly got on the podium

Is that a star in a reasonbly priced car?

 

[ZBOYD]

Its a joke i think he's heard a lot since Top Gear came back the other week.

What a podium for SEAT, anyone would think they sponsored it All 3 podium places and Tom Coronel as the independant winner.

2 entertaining races.. Top result for SEAT, but also good to see Daewoo on a more competitive level.. shame Huffy over cooked it, but then, he wasn't alone!

 

[nugget]

Awesome day, but bloody wet !!!! Think I spotted myself and Timthebrief on the big screen waving our flags so not sure if we were on the Eurosport coverage. Have to admit I was cheering for Huffy in race 1, but awesome racing all round and excellent results from the SEAT armada

 

[tris]

[F2 Stu]

looked extremley wet out there, would of loved to be there but wouldent have done my pounding headache any good

 

[ArosaRacer]

it was good and the rain did'nt stop me as always!

as Tris and H man heard me shout "IM F**KING LOVING IT"

 

[nugget]

looked extremley wet out there, would of loved to be there but wouldent have done my pounding headache any good

probably a good choice Stu, after standing out in the rain I now have a pounding headache too !!

 

[Muzorewa]

Thoroughly enjoyed that despite the rain. Those BMWs don't seem to be able to hack it in the wet

It was amusing listening to the lad cheering for 'Yvan' after being the ultimate Muller-hater last year, and also cheering when Priaulx fluffed the re-start and went straight into the gravel.

Keith, you'd gone when we got back to the car - what time did you get home and which way did you go? We went A20 south, M26/M25/M40/M42/M6 Toll/M6/M56/M60. Got home just on 8.30

Pleased to see they have sorted the exit for southbank, now the exit is straight out near the paddock exit but turning right, puts you on the A20 south of the circuit with no queue and a straight run to the M26. Looking good for the DTM meeting
