And I see that they have cut the turbo boost allowance by another 0.05 bar.

I hope it helps and gives everyone, drivers and fans, some real, equal racing
Yes, but Harvey made the good point that it's not all the turbo cars that have been sailing past, really only (or mainly) the Hondas. So what does Plato want, for the organisers to keep reducing the power of all the turbo cars until his car is the fastest?

I see what you mean, the Honda does seem to be able to breeze past pretty much everything, other turbo cars included. It's a tough situation, one in which you'll never please everyone. Maybe they should make it turbo only from next year to redress the balance? I'm not sure
I believe they are now looking at the whole issue of turbo/naturally aspirated engine parity for next season. I suppose the original idea was always for a transition to all turbos eventually anyway.

I have to admit im getting fed up with this equlaization nonsense*
I agree tottally with this and it seems to me that Honda have built a good car on its own merit. Now i know its not all completly black and white and if one car dominates, others tend to throw money at the problem, budgets go up and for a series like the BTCC grid sizes go down (ala late 90's early 00's super-touring era) but its not a one make series. Its about the skill of making car as well as the skill of driving one. And if Plato doesn't like it he should retire or move on to another championship (Theres even a great one on BTCC package, Jason, you could drive in). And if Alan Gow doesn't like it he should bite the bullet get a car company to bulid cars to order and make it a one make series.
Im really fed up with this bull from Plato and he should stop whinging about it.
*insert appropiate swear word to feel bloody annoyed i am about this.

Neal does seem to be doing a Vettel..
Its shocking to watch the speed difference on the straights, there is simply no competition there as even if another car gets a better line into and out of the corner, the Hondas will just breeze past them gain anyway.
Bloody Turbo Chumps Championship..

The man who led into the first corner and then got punted off by some guy in a beemer.Who was on pole position again?
And I daresay that was Alan Gow's fault as well.
Of course!
An interesting ploy by Plato to try and let the slick-shod Jackson through in race 1 without putting up a fight, in the hope he might take points off Neal. Almost worked too, except that Jackson was apparently a bit cautious and didn't accept the first invite past.
