00:00To get the traction off the line and Jim and Artie losing out big-time Andrew Jordan's got one
00:04Oh, there's a spin for John George on the man who qualified so well
00:0913th place on the grid and it's all over but now can he hold him because jelly's got a good run on the exit
00:14Oh little touch jelly gets squeezed out wide that Chevrolet and then they're on to the brakes and Plato gets on the brakes and Adam
00:21Hits him. Oh, they're sideways completely sideways gets it back together
00:25Hold it what a save by Plato, but Adam is through there's jelly on the left battling with color jellies on the left
00:31There's contact going down the hill as collars trying to close the door. They can't both get through
00:36They end up going off wide and as they go off there that bang there is what breaks the front wheel
00:42It's also damaged G of an Ardy's car and he's got in front
00:45Steven jelly's got in front of Rob collard might also go through but the two BMWs gonna go
00:49Side-by-side contact between collard and steven jelly into the barriers goes rob collard
00:55G of an arty though with an excellent getaway and it's all about second place still side by side
00:59Matt neal versus colin turkett it off has gone dan eaves
01:02I think is it down or is it uh, adams jones will check that is dan eaves paul o'neill's got just in front enough
01:08Freeway battle into the complex. Oh contact paul o'neill gets hit one way gets hit the other off
01:14He goes jason's trying to slip up the inside again
01:17Just touches paul as he turns in which pusses him wide and into adam jones who then spins him inadvertently
01:23Let's see if we can find out what happened. It was jelly alongside andrew jordan
01:27They made contact at one of the fastest parts of the track
01:31Where did he come back out? Well, thankfully the grass is dry and he didn't go for too far
01:35Yeah, and the guy unfortunately didn't dig in and roll over either room for two cars
01:38Let's see what matt jackson's been up to. He's been riding through the grass. Oh and straight through the high q banner
01:44Uh same color matches the red windscreen strip and he's going around the outside of jelly if possible. Yeah, he's ahead. Oh
01:52Jelly's off steven jelly
01:57Rips the rear wheel off he's out well and truly
02:00Matt neil's on the outside trying to follow. Um, giovannardi through and jelly just moved to the outside
02:07There's that slightest contact and that's into a concrete wall
02:11I would be very surprised if they get that car repaired that might have done the body shell
02:15It's done both. It's taken both wheels off from coppice corner. And meanwhile, adamjones and giovannardi side by side
02:22And turkish is off as well. He won't get out of that. He won't get out of that
02:26And look at paul o'neill squeezing up the inside versus matt neil
02:30Well bolt car. Oh, no, both both the chevy side by side at the same time. Matt neil o'neill is now into sixth place
02:38Off goes
02:41The gravel, oh what a shame when he was going so well contact with johnny adam
02:46I'm, not sure which of them is going to come out ahead. Well, it was uh, as predicted as carnage behind
02:52Paul o'neill is it or is it martin bell martin johnson definitely one of the hot temperature here comes matt
02:57Neal down the inside great move lovely stuff. No contact mate. Oh off goes collard
03:02He put a wheel over the edge spins in front of everybody and folkard goes off to the grass
03:07As he kept it out of the barrier, yes, he has
03:10Sided to third adam jones collin turkington and then matt jackson squeezing through jackson
03:14Oh and off goes jones on those slicks on the front. He had no purchase and he's in the gravel
03:20On the track. Yeah now look at it jackson's in there. Plato's not far behind three of them all still bashing banging
03:26Oh round goes adam jackson's on the grass. You knew that was going to end in tears push past
03:31Giovannardi, otherwise he's going to get mugged for third. Yeah
03:34Well that that's getting aggressive stuff from harry volkart as you say he wants all no more contact between volkart
03:39Giovannardi's going off
03:41He's going off this time into the mud and volkart is going to be passed by jackson on one side and plato on the other
03:47Plato's through jackson gets squeezed out proving to be a bit harder this season now what's been going on here?
03:54Well, this is collard up against
03:56Against andrew jordan and a good save by jordan that perhaps ending as we thought into the hairpin for the final time
04:03Oh, there's a nudge. There's a nudge. There's a bang. There's a little bit of bumper gets removed
04:08Let's see what happened to steven. Jelly and dave pinckney on that
04:11Last lap with johnny adam behind them as well
04:13Oh little tap from jelly on pinckney and then pinckney gets on the grass bounces across in front of jelly
04:20And the other guys all go whizzing past. Thanks very much
04:24Take out the sides. Oh
04:26Ouch both into the armco as well matt jackson is out of the race
04:31And he was sitting amongst the chevys now what's happened here?
04:34This is a replay. Oh, he just ran a wheel over the curb
04:38A very very rare mistake from matt jackson
04:41Well, that was a res coming through that fast chicane of gaining advantage volkart holds it tight collard still tries to get up the inside
04:48Over the curb, there's inevitable contact on the exit volkart gets squeezed wide. Can they go side by side? They're trying it
04:55My goodness has only run for one car and there's the proof and neil goes wide, but he still keeps his foot in
05:00Volkart goes to the inside and he goes into the plowed field. My goodness didn't run into them
05:06He does a miraculous pass to miss it. Look the car's sideways. Johnny. Adam doesn't know which way to go
05:11He slides around the back good driving by him volkart. Oh, he's digging up
05:16Potatoes there. He is lucky not to roll not quite the way he would have wanted to do it
05:21They're picking their way past these damaged cars. I don't know whether we're going to get a chance to see what happened
05:25Oh, it was a loss for volkart as he came into the complex and he just oh
05:31Nowhere for chilton to go. He was there hard on the brakes coming into that corner
05:35There was just no way that chilton could have really done anything there has come out of nowhere up into third place
05:40Jordan on the outside of adam jones and trying to go through there and rob collard's in the mix as well sideways for adam jones
05:48Bang into the tires and he's out by the look of that
05:51Well, no, he has he's held it collard's the one who's gone off
05:54Yeah, but you can see when they hit that puddle the car aquaplane. Someone's gone in a bit harder
05:59Yeah, I can't even see who it is
06:01Oh, it's martin jones going around slowly behind the safety car. He's just lost battery power. What a shame. Oh
06:10Ouch that is a big hit from david pinkney
06:13Matt neil, uh having a good battle still with plato. He's ahead of plato. Uh, this is the battle for fifth position
06:21Tap tap tap plato trying. Oh, there's a bit more contact round goes matt neil
06:26And it's turkington following through and that of course has its consequences in terms of championship points as well
06:34This is it again. This is look at plato. He's pushing pushing pushing
06:38Um, he then looks to thinks he's made the gap and uh, just pushes matt neil around
06:43Yeah through rich's corner jim and arnie's tucked in behind them and then it's johnny adam
06:47We've got a spin in the middle though and matt neil. Oh, he gets it back together
06:51Turkington leads matt neil's at the back and jason plato's on the attack in the chevrolet
06:56He's going down the inside into the esses. Oh, there's contact contact
06:59And the championship leaders in trouble plato gets going turkington's going to try and rejoin. He's off as well
07:06He's had contact now. That was andrew jordan trying to take advantage
07:09It's the voxel one two as they come around towards the end of the first lap. Oh another one. That's collard
07:14He's been hit by uh, one of the two cartridge cars
07:18I think it was shedden who just they're all jostling for position matt jackson moves to the inside in the blue and white
07:23Andrew jordan just holds him off for them. Oh, no, he spins it. He loses it on his own
07:28He went in too quick. He spins in front of the pack as he and it just has to wait now until he can rejoin
07:34Now this was matt neil and rob collard a moment ago
07:38And we gather collard may well have picked up a puncture somewhere. Oh
07:43Maybe that's where it was
07:45Now that was a rubbing battle. Well, matt was never going to give up on that one. Was he and he uh,
07:50From colin turkington. I think it is on the inside just they pick up a jelly round jelly goes off
07:55He's uh clashed with adam jones and it looked like there was slight contact and round goes steven
08:00Jelly should be able to rejoin and he sort of gave it some revs to to keep it going. Oh
08:06Well, he might have been involved in uh, pushing that car into andrew jordan as well
08:10Yeah, that's ironic, isn't it? And this was turkington on the first lap
08:13He got past o'neill, but then steven jelly gets caught, uh in the accident with um with adam. Yeah, that's right
08:19That was very unfortunate. They are still both running. Well, it's a bit of scrapping a tomo side by side there. I think
08:26Oh
08:28That could be another big repair job and thompson off as well
08:32But that could be another big repair job for the uh, the rml team. Well, paul harry volkart
08:38Oh, he lost it on his own. Yeah, it looks like he lost it on his oil on the oil. Yeah, just jumping. Oh nash
08:44Almost made a mistake there. I wondered if he was going to run into the back of color. He has hit. Come on
08:49That's it. Come on. Come on. I was off. He's going to come back on in front of mcneil. It's steven jelly
08:54Jordan goes around the outside and steven jelly who gets collected by rob collard just uh, take a look back
09:01This is the collard nash. Yeah, there's a little touch there
09:04It's just enough to flick the back of the bmw as he's on the grass. He can't stop the car jelly
09:10Probably uh, just didn't give enough room and you know, well a lot of damage there
09:15Matt oh and that was a big slide from collard. He had to cut right across mcneil's taking to the grass
09:20Oh, no, this is going to end in tears off goes neil off goes collard turkington gets through the middle of it
09:26And you could see that coming as well. Take another look to him. Watch this mistake by collard gets sideways
09:31He defends the inside adam has a bit of a run sees a gap but behind him neil is also doing the same thing
09:37And when neil gets onto the grass, it's very wet and he can't stop the car
09:41I I don't think you can blame anyone there. It's just one of those close racing incidents
09:44Yeah, another look at it here
09:45There's definitely a gap for adam to go through but he doesn't know neil is also on his right hand side
09:50Three seconds at the end of the first lap. That's an amazing. Oh and off shannon bosh
09:54She's into the tire barrier and there must have been contact with another car
09:58Um, it might be rob collard actually as we get to the braking area is a slightest touch
10:03Oh just the tiniest touch and that was enough
10:06I think it might have broken the right front wheel actually because he was flapping about and took it. Jim and arty again
10:11It's a little bit. How did he go sideways there? Jim and arty's going to try and take advantage
10:15Oh this time big old sideways, but jim and arty's. Yeah, jim and arty. Oh, he's under pressure here
10:21Matt neil and collard, isn't it? Yes, matt neil and collard. Oh
10:25Oh, what a shame
10:27Yes, I know exactly how that feels. Yeah, you had that
10:30Well, they're still side by side as they head up towards maggots. This is the final lap of the race
10:34Chilton's throwing everything he can. Oh, no inevitable contact there and chilton just gets it going
10:41Well, that's going to be one for the both of them back out of those prospective maneuvers and jim and arty is still oh
10:47And joe jordan spins in front of the pack. Oh, and he's taken out chilton with him. Oh, that was very unlucky. I mean, uh,
10:54Side by side jim and arty's gonna have the inside line for the next corner
10:58So he goes around the outside here now. Can he get the inside yet? And johnny might lose. Oh, he's hit by plato
11:04Plato's hit johnny urban off he goes
11:06Yeah, I mean that was brave of jim and arty but he probably guessed that herbert would give him room and plato was just trying
11:12To follow him through jenny in the orange team rac car with jason plato
11:16Will he fight it? No, he won't quite and also squeezing through on the inside rob collard collard's gone past jackson
11:21Here we go. Johnny herbert's off and one that looks like matt neil
11:25Yeah, he's carrying lots of ballast back up with that group and jim and arty making contact with jackson and jackson goes straight on
11:32No option there, but to just go straight on over driving at the moment. He's just sitting there patiently
11:38Or is he gonna go for it? He's down the inside. There's contact, but he's is through
11:43I think andrew jordan squeezes past position after that half spin, but he has amazing car control
11:48Thanks to his rallycross championship winning experience. He does it by plato who's pushing him pushing him pushing him
11:54Oh, no, and it's taken out nash as well
11:57Oh, this is not what we wanted
11:59It was good and clean racing up to now neil has dropped back a little bit now is matt neil always in jackson
12:05Matt neil's in jackson jackson gets sideways off
12:08He goes and neil just ahead of the bmws
12:11We knew it was going to be jason
12:12Plato has got a car between himself and his two big contenders o'neill trying to stay around the outside of jim and arty
12:19Just staying on in the background collard's off collard's off and this is all as a result. I think of
12:25Of matt neil slowing things down. He was slow into druids and slow down the hill and that was why he couldn't stop
12:30Oh fire extinguisher's gone off and that stuff stings as well
12:35That's not good. Oh, look. It's it's still coming out. It's coming out over his head. Look still pouring out
12:42Well, I don't think we want to talk to him right now
12:44I think he's busy trying to talk to the team and let them know what's going on. It's still coming out
12:49If you see top left hand side
