I know what you mean lee about him being dirty and I do agree. However just to put it in perspective, he moved from 20th to 1st through the race which means he was obviously moving at a considerably faster pace than his rivals. When going that much faster due to the way the chassis is setup and no ballast etc... And people hold him up you can't just sit there in fairness. As I say I do agree but he has proved how good a driver he is and it's not all just because he's dirty, if you watched some of the lines he took and how tight he took them he was on the grass on a lot of corners to get a tighter line and I may be wrong but I think throughout the 22 laps he nudged 3 people and they weren't harsh nudges. Dont forget as the saying goes rubbings racing! :wink:

chungster:
You've just explained the reaon why there's no need for him to rub / nudge / bump his way thru to the front. He car was the fastest by far and can somehow turn into corners a lot tighter than others. He had the pace...but I guess he just likes to entertain so does bit of bump and grind instead to get by and give the crowds something to shout about.

Greeners:
I'd say Matt Neal bully's his way through the field far more than JP. Sheddon was side swapping on Sunday a fair bit too!!

Go and watch a Touring Car DVD from the late 80's early 90's and you'll see what pussy's they are now moaning about a little bit of bum rubbing!  :laugh:

RedRobin:
.
Irrespective of how much bumping and rubbing there is or has been in BTCC history, I simply don't like Plato's personality.

Greeners:
He's a racer and he wants to win! That'll do for me!
