He and we will only ever know when he gets there, if he gets there. He certainly has shown he is head and shoulders above his peers thus far in his career.

As for Dan Camm, yes it took him most of his first year in touring cars to learn how to look after the tyres. Now I feel he is as good as the car allows him to be. If he were in the BMW, would he be on Colin's tail? Maybe. Maybe not.

Some interesting tweets from Josh Webster. He seems to be implying that King has different equipment or that his own car is inferior in some way.

Ooh, now then... public implications of some form of cheating *always* go down well with the championship coordinators, driver's peers, other team managers and Motorsport UK

In other news there are rumblings of an ex BTCC driver using "special fuel" in Historic racing...

seriously! they’re under the same awning with the same team. that’s going to go down brilliantly with everybody involved. must have run out of budget for the rest of the season and have nothing to lose or something...

OK, who's going to tell the lad about the clamp I put on the fuel line to limit the flow?

Oh, and you may as well mention the block of wood on the back of the throttle pedal whilst at it...

I've been wrong before, mind you.
To me, he's more suited to the BTCC. He's an aggressive driver that likes to get on with things, and is excellent in wheel-to-wheel combat.

I'd love to see Jamie Caroline in the series too. He would really add something.

That was a great move he pulled out in race 3 when his car was on two wheels. Before this season, he lost out so often when fighting for position. He has got so much better this season in that respect. Colin Turkington still has a fair bit more pace than him though - of course, there's no disgrace in that
