No, it didn't pass and that was fair enough. But, same as Knockhill, I'm sure it would've been whatever damage that caused it and it would've started the race legal.

Stuff like that happens... just never to a certain person 😂

Really enjoyed the race and great drive by a fired up Cook but rules are rules and whatever the circumstances I don't think anyone could begrudge Butcher a victory.

Not sure what's going on in the Ginetta race at turn 1

Ah. So when you said it was legal, what you meant was it wasn’t legal. Gottcha.

Cook's exclusin is BAD for Turks , cos Butcher and Cammish gain more points on him

His gap to Cammish remains the same
His lead of the championship increases.

well still 2 more races today so lets see what the championship looks like after today, plenty of action still to come

HopAlong · 23 Aug 2020, 14:13 (Ref:3997282)

Failing the ride height in the wet isn't the most uncommon thing, Sheddon 2017, Sutton and Ingram 2018, is it actually damage or teams forgetting to increase ride height on a wet setup.

Matt K · 23 Aug 2020, 14:37 (Ref:3997287)

Congrats to Crees....

Matt K · 23 Aug 2020, 14:42 (Ref:3997288)

Sutton was really flying! That was an Autobahn move on Butcher for the lead

Rear wheel drives were way more racey in these conditions

GT6 · 23 Aug 2020, 14:43 (Ref:3997289)

another good race and more bad luck for cook, he must have got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning

slummingangel · 23 Aug 2020, 14:49 (Ref:3997290)

Anybody else noticing that Sutton has been repeatedly hitting and getting air of the same kerb in Race 1 and 2? Can't imagine his Engineers being to happy about it.

codename_47 · 23 Aug 2020, 14:56 (Ref:3997291)

What great racing we're enjoying in the BTCC at Oulton so far

So many brilliant passes, and once again Sutton proves he is the best at overtaking of all of them, and that's quite a high standard in of itself

Fair play to the race directors for not panicking like so many other series do in the wet and throwing a safety car or a red flag just for a bit of water.
Especially in the Ginetta race, where a few spins at T1 would've been a SC period for pretty much any other championship, but instead lead to the best bit of racing of the day so far as the leaders went side by side through the last lap

BTCC racing is consistantly good, a lot of series can learn a lot from it IMO

Really? It was a joke 😂

codename_47 · 23 Aug 2020, 15:18 (Ref:3997296)

Wow that was a hell of a move for the lead by King in the Porches, Cascades is certainly the place to be today.

Well Oliphant got screwed over there, assuming they were planning to swap the positions back 😂

Not sure what happened to Thompson, seemed like a problem with how quick he dropped back.

...Glad to be going to a "FWD" circuit next!

GT6 · 23 Aug 2020, 16:37 (Ref:3997309)

disappointing end to days racing but happy for morgn to get a win

porsche962fan · 23 Aug 2020, 16:37 (Ref:3997310)

rather stale race 3

codename_47 · 23 Aug 2020, 16:40 (Ref:3997313)

Another great BTCC raceday, some of the best racing on the planet atm

Also it's nice that SOME championships don't have a BCE LTD RAIN REPELLOR (TM) and are able to have rain fall on them.

Rain always makes motorsport more fun.

Matt K · 23 Aug 2020, 16:48 (Ref:3997316)

Disappointing that the race ended prematurely, fight for win could've been interesting in last laps and Turkington could've made it.

AnnoyedMoose · 23 Aug 2020, 17:03 (Ref:3997319)

God the BTCC facebook page is even more toxic than usual after that race. Apparently Hamilton has crashed in every single race this season....
