BTCC Round 3 Donington Park
Andrew Jordan inherited his first ever British Touring Car Championship pole position ahead of Harry Vaulkhard, to provide a shock front row for Sunday’s first race, after teammate Fabrizio Giovanardi was excluded from the session.
The reigning champion had taken pole position on the track by 0.070 from Jordan, but was relegated to the back of the grid after his VX Racing Vectra failed to start on the weighbridge after qualifying.
As a result Jordan takes pole position with his lap of 1:13:241, just 0.015 seconds ahead of Vaulkhard, who snatched his front row starting spot with just seconds of the session remaining.
Former BTCC champions James Thompson and Jason Plato line up third and fourth for Sunday’s first race, while current championship leader Matt Neal, carrying the maximum 45kgs of ballast, will be disappointed to be down in eight, one place behind his nearest championship challenger Colin Turkington.
Despite being quickest in both of Saturday morning’s practice sessions, Team RAC’s Stephen Jelley could only manage fifth during qualifying, albeit a position which made him fastest BMW, ahead of Rob Collard and teammate Turkington.
The third Chevrolet Lacetti of Thruxton race winner Matt Jackson came in tenth, while Alan Morrison recorded Team Aon’s best qualifying effort of the season so far, making use of the improvements to the Ford Focus to record 13th place.
At the back of the grid Martyn Bell managed just four laps in his Vauxhall Astra, failing to set a time after a spin, with both Dan Eaves and Nick Leason unable to take to the track during the session due to the engine and clutch problems both had suffered respectively during the morning at Donington.

My first time at doington and well oyu couldnt really go anywhere except for Redgate, Craner curvers down to the hairpin and start finish straight as everywere else was closed off due to the stupid formula 1. We found a good spot just coming out of redgate and so you could just see the craner curves down into the old hairpin. Some really really good action from all races. and a few buxtons as many spun off on the warm up lap :lol:. Includin 1 lad in a clio who spun off right infront of us and was rather funny. Also a few crashes incuding Jelley's whos rear right wheel and strut came off. Anyway really enjoyed it except for the cold cold rain and weather :good:

Some great racing once again this weekend, the Silverline Chevys really increase the grin factor :becky:
Gio getting a bit pissed off isn't he? Not getting the rub of the green. Had to lol at Turks passing all three Chevys at once, brilliant drives from Thommo - one of the best touring car drivers in the world.

Well Gio most probably doesnt give a toss about Vauxhall anymore so he doesnt need to perform well for them, which is alright, give's Matt Neal a clean run to his 3rd title.
