Some good racing today and special thanks as ever to all the marshals and track crew who made racing possible. Driving standards were mostly ok as well.
All in all, I think it will be a good season. Ingram and Sutton the stand-out performers (as ever) but there's plenty of quick drivers and decent cars. Moffat and DeLeon merit praise - Moffat for performing impeccably in R3 and DeLeon and team for doing well in Q and finishing R1-R2.
18 of the 20 drivers have scored points. Halstead (16th/16th/17th) and Sumpton (17th/DNF/16th) being the two who didn't - they will score points through attrition this year but are comfortably the slowest two.
It looks like Toyota and BMW still need to get on top of their cars - which they undoubtedly will once Toyota's 4 drivers learn the quirks of the Corolla and BMW set up the car to suit their upgrades. It may just have been circuit/condition specific but the Vauxhall Astras and the Cupra Leons looked quite slow in pure race pace.
