Boost increase to every car except the BMW's and a centre of gravity penalty for them as well. Absolute bullst.

Bullst? How so?

The bmw clearly had an unfair advantage..

It's a pitty they've waited this long to do it as it might be too late..

It’s the only way Alan Gow can manipulate the championship to ensure it alll goes down to the last round at Brands hatch.
Same every year.

Very true, makes you wonder which cars have had what boost increase when the Corolla and the Astra are suddenly rapid...

And how is building the best car an unfair advantage? They're not cheating, they're using the same spec parts in any other rear wheel drive car on the grid. They've just done a damn good job.

[DanielSan]

3 weeks ago a car with no pace has now gapped everyone 'on performance' how much performance have they been given I wonder...

To make a championship bid.

F4 is usually a bit dull.
This one is mental.

[anonymous-user]

Crazy F4 race. Have to admit I kinda enjoyed the guy running without a rear wing, made the car look just like a formula Ford ❤️

For who?

[Pericoloso]

Was that suspect driving from the 2nd place car up to the finish line ?

Forced onto the grass twice.
Possibly.

Everyone who aren't in bmw's.

[Bengunn]

Looks like Aiden Moffat has made some good progress between FP and race 1. The Infinity could be a very good platform to build from.

Like Rory Butcher in an old Honda who was only 20 odd points behind Jordan? There's still plenty of drivers who can win it, Gow as always just wants to fiddle the results for a while to make sure it goes to Brands.

It should be up to the other teams to do a better job not peg back the team who are doing a good job.

[shake n bake]

Just want to give a big thanks to Wookie, anyone that stops Matt Neal from finishing a race is a hero in my book!

Totally this.
