On we go to Silverstone for the penultimate round of the season. Colin Turkington heads into the event with a 55 point lead with just 134 left on the table, so all he needs to do is outscore his rivals by 13 points and the title will be his. But as we all know, it won't be as easy as that!

As far as the support package is concerned we will be missing the Clios due to a clashing Eurocup round, but they will be replaced by the Protyre Formula Renault Championship. Unfortunately, it happens to be another series that has been struggling for numbers this year, with entries of 14, 14, 12, 10 & 9 cars so far.

I feel like Plato will ensure that something goes wrong for Turkington.

Things that will happen at Silverstone:

1 - Plato will moan about a non-MG having an unfair advantage
2 - Plato will easily win one or two races because his engine has a more boost than every other
3 - Plato will moan about a non-MG having an unfair advantage and therefore despite being second in the championship he's the moral victor
4 - Neal will turf someone off the circuit and get away scott free
5 - Luke Hines will be interviewed about replacing Glenn Geddie, whereby he'll look vacantly at the camera and string a few words together while sounding no more intellectual than a pre-schooler who mimics Teletubbies

At some point Rob Austin will be high up there on the grid, things will be looking good for him before he's innocently taken out in a wreck not of his own making.

Plato will exceed track limits at Copse and get away scot free.

Steve Rider will say "turring car" too much

Louise Goodman will wrench open the door of a driver who doesn't want to be interviewed/busy on the radio on the grid.

David Addison will linger too long over Jack Goff's name...

Paul O Neil contributions will add nothing of value to the broadcast.
(Unless he reads out my tweets :p )

Quali delayed by twenty minutes because of an 'incident'. No idea what though.
