Don't know how many people on here follow the BTCC, but this year was the best year its had in a fair few. It came down to the wire between the seat of Jason Plato and the Vauxhall of Fabrizio Giovanardi at Thruxton with JP despite having been severely burnt while filming for fifth gear (it appears a Caparo he was driving suffered a catastrophic engine failure and blew fire out of the airbox behind the drivers head and he now has burns on his hands, face, throat and full thickness burns on the back of his neck).
First two races were down to the wire with the first and second race ending with Plato, Giovanardi 1-2s despite Matt Neal's best efforts.
Then the 3rd race, In which although I think Giovanardi did it by the book and beat Plato Fair and square off the line Matt Neal disgraced himself letting past both Vauxhalls (one of Giovanardi and one of Chilton and then proceeding to try and make sure Plato had no chance of catching them by slowing down and planting his car in front of JP even tho he drives for Honda, as with all people who annoy JP it ended with Neal being given a good solid get the F**k out the way you meddling F**k shove but it was totally unsportsmanlike, Neal didn't attempt to pass or inconvience the Vauxhalls in the entire weekend and yet whenever Jp was to be seen there was Neals Honda either rubbing the sides, hitting the back or blocking the way forward, as JP said at the end there were four Vauxhall team cars on the track only one of them was orange.
Personally I always thought you drove for your team and the result, but Neal let two vauxhalls go just to sabotage Platos chances, I used to think he was a good driver but now no more he's an a**e
