to be honest i was disappointed with most of sat and sunday!!!! for a start der was only a commentator on the sat for about 10mins after dat nothin!! no one knew wat was goin on who had gone tru, who the drivers wer nothin!! and to be fair there wer so may drivers on sat i belive every single one deserves a blow up of some sort on the mic!!! as for judging i felt tru out sat they wer very fair and der was a couple of hard calls but most were easy enough!!!

as for today it was al over the place i felt alan was utter and totally robbed as barry said above lead car sets the pace and its up to the second car to fall behind if the second car fails to do so which seems to be what is been implied then it was gavins fault plain and simple!!!! its not a race to the finsh line one car leads one car follows!!! the judges had no idea wat way to call it all they wanted was the easiest way out not carein who got the shaft as long as they got less agro for it!! and der was at least one more call after this for a run it again when der was already a clear victor of the battle!!!

Was a great day of drifting
Imo Sinnott was should have won super lap his entry was backwards thats what we want to see.
Fair play to Carpo though
Gem you lunatic very nice driving balls to the wall stuff,
Quad drifting what genius.Who came up with that? Hope they keep it for CW
Unreal stuff by the Northern lads
Love the DI stand a mass of cable ties and cracked bumpers go on ye lunatics
Judges didnt do a bad job few questionable calls especially as said Sinnott being hit from behind but shit happens
Well deserved win for Colfer car looks sick lad
Also Fair play to John Paul McCarty great work to get the car out for round 2 and to Donal Garry unreal dedication to have the car back out and driving well

Ok... Firstly the judges cant see the main straight and its the same with Mondello so they realli hugely on the 2 marshalls at the start line for keeping them informed on any events....

Coming down the main straight gavins nose was edgeding alondside alans quarter as was the case with 90 per cent of the top 16 battles with drivers making big straightline entries....

In this case as they were about to initiate alan drastically fired the car rite leaving Gavin stuck to a barrier (not actualli hitting it but certainly greatly impeding his entry pretty much causing the spin)...

When looking back at previous entry speeds this particular run was pretty slow.. Making it look bad for Alan, Almost like he was sandbagging as they say.... Now before i get abuse im not saying alan was it just coulda seemed that way....

After talking to Alan after he said he was having problems getting grip off the line so maybe thats why he didn get up to the usual speed...

Now while the big delay occured where the judges were trying to get all the info and make a call i made an error... Having been told the track was clear another message came over the radio which i mistakingly thought said release the cars... So i released them on their 2nd run... This run was not counted as the judges were still deciding and as the cars finished they came to their conclussion...

Basically to run them again as they couldnt see and going by third party info they had to make a call....

I had no say in this, I just gave them the facts of what happened ... There was also a number of drivers at the 1st bend and their opinions were asked and of the 12 or so they were split 50-50 and who was wrong and rite so then the judges made their call....

All im doing here is giving the facts so now ye can draw ye'r own conclussions...

I think it was a hard call to make to be honest and dont really no whether twas rite r wrong...
