A good start for Rob on a track that doesn't normally favour the MG.

[byron]

Thats a very good start by WSR and Rob let's hope they can convert it into a good race

Plato won the 2nd race but has subsequently been excluded for careless driving! This means that Rob Collard (who had to pit to remove his broken bumper) who finished 11th, now is promoted to 10th and on Pole for race 3!! :D

That would have been the round of bumper cars then Pam :rotfl:

Good news for Rob :clap:

[AndrewM]

Was Plato exlcuded for the 'move' on Chilton? Thought it looked a tad aggresive.

Don't know which move Plato was penalised for but didn't he punt someone else off as well?

Anyway, Well done Rob.

[Tootall]

Well done Rob and the WSR team :drink2: also well do to Gareth the Ex TAK driver.

[BeverleyM]

Excellent result for Rob and WSR :cheers:

[Tony]

Andy, Plato was indeed excluded for the move on Chilton in race two.

Well done to Rob holding off an obviously quicker Chilton to take second in race 3.

[gaz160]

This is a great result for the wsr boys and rob.

[Jerry Zedman]

Well done indeed Rob. Pity the safety car came out AGAIN when Rob was leading. :banghead:

Roll on Brands Hatch! :music049:

[Dawn]

Yes a lead snatched away again...........:(

[Clark Trent]

For once Silverstone put on a good show. Never was my favourite circuit but with the aid of the big screen and a good reception on the radio I was able to keep up with the racing.
I even enjoyed the single seaters.
Shame about the safety car in race 3 as Rob was starting to get away from Tom. They were definatly pulling away from Gareth until Williams beached his Lexus. Only consolation is that at least Howell started in an MG.

[KelV6]

I too felt dismay at the despatch of the safety car, and feared exactly what happened, but to maintain 2nd place for so many laps is proof that the MG, Rob Collard and WSR are still a great combination, well done to all concerned!

[DEBBIE]

I think the safety car did Rob a favour. Tom was way to close with no one behind him, it would only have been a matter of time before he wore away at Rob. The introduction of the safety car ment that the rest of the pack caught up and Tom needed to watch his rear view and it took "some" of the pressure away from Rob.

My heart was in my mouth for the whole race anyway, so pleased for Rob getting a podium finish.

I also heard rumoured that Rob wants to race with WSR next year and the MG could be a possibility. Who Knows??

[Jerry Zedman]

Debbie, first of welcome to BCF. :blush: :D



I also heard rumoured that Rob wants to race with WSR next year and the MG could be a possibility. Who Knows??

Apparently WSR have a couple of cars (poss. in MK2 mode) mothballed at their HQ. This is a rumour I heard whilst up at Croft for BTCC. Also, in an interview with DB he said something along the lines that with the right sponsorships for 2006 ...........who knows!

[Madgasters]

Watched the 3 races last night, well done Rob for driving so well, hope you go as well as that at Brands.
