Don't know the points position, but would prefer it to be Plato, but suspect it will be Giovanni, he is just so good at 'easing' his way through the field.

I personally would like to see Plato win - though currently in third and 28 points behind I guess it's a tall order!

Still as long as there's plenty of 'easing past' to be seen from our vantage point I'll be happy!

Turkington deserves a break, Plato has had the T shirt. But Gio is a wiley campaigner.
I hope Turks get`s it but it won`t be easy.

looks like the weathers going to be kind for this.

Had hoped to confirm my attendance, but i'm still struggling to walk, sit, stand, lie down, so will have to give it a miss, and just watch the gp, motogp and touring cars on the telly.

There were hundreds of pink caps in the crowd, surely not all ESC?

Got home 20 mins ago thanks to Andy's driving and knowledge of the back way out of Brands (oh, and a little help from TomTom ) Callie & Dave only got to Thurrock services at 7.45

We had a brilliant day and the food was yummy as always, thanks Matt
Looking forward to next years already, hmm I wonder if they've decided on the Brands dates yet

Just got to go through loads of piccys now to filter out the rubbish ones. Thanks everyone for putting up with the car shuffling, hopefully it'll be worth it

But not all of them had caps and piccys signed by Plato

What a great day this was. Atmosphere was electric especially for the last race. Plato won three in a row. But Turks done enough to win the championship.
Another hero of the day was Matt keeping us all fed & watered all day
Good job the first leg of the journey home was downhill ay Matt
And we are all hoping everything is OK for Kevb and the Missus.

Cheers guys for a great day, Food and tea was great thanks for organising, much better than paying the same amount for just one cheese burger and tea, shame we missed the Keeeeebabs.

We got back to mine to see the Paramedic just driving off, got in and there was no one in, then found out from next door that Lisa had gone to hospital in the Ambulance, so me and mick rushed over to A&E but no one knew about her, then we found she had been taken to the central delivery suite, found her there on all monitors just waiting for a doctor, after about 30mins she was told to go home and rest..... so no baby yet, but she still in lots of pains, said its probaly just the baby packing its bag getting ready to leave mummys tummy to join the real world.

Thanks guys for wishing us all the best when we left and for Mick and JOOOOOOO for being there for us in time of need, nice to have good friends looking out for us.

Nope. Not to self: turn the interior light in the van off when using the back of the van to house the kettle with the doors open all day. Never knew you could bump start a diesel. Cheers for the help guys.

What a cracking day though. Gutted the Plato didn't get the title after winning all three races in one day. What a drive.
