WTCC, Thompson on Podium in Sweeden

[David P]

James Thompson has just finished an excellent 3rd from 9th position on the grid

Hopefully another good result for race 2.

Go Team Alfa

That was a pretty good race wasn't it? Couldn't believe how well Tommo cut through the field in the last few laps, good on ya JT Lets have more of the same in race 2, hope its dry, might even get the 156 on the top step

[Mark Alfa]

It was a good race by Thommo. Had the right set-up and off he went

[ode]

Race 2 is just about to start - go Tommo!!

[Mark Alfa]

Well he finished 5th so not too bad. Larini didn't seem best pleased with Rydell taking victory at the end

great result....

Anyone watch the BTCC and see the coming together at the end of the 2nd race? Brilliant to see Giovanardi take Plato out after Plato had spoken about how great Gio was as a thinly veiled attack on Matt Neal after the 1st race.

Well, to be quite honest, it's good to see Plato taken out by anyone under any circumstances - the man's a tool.

Oh, and to talk about the WTCC so I'm not 100% off topic: the commentators seemed sure that Rydell wouldn't be allowed to take 2nd never mind 1st, but for me, lovely to see the man who made my favourite BTCC season so spectacular get a win.

I would really like to see Gio take the title this year. He's a great racer
