00:00Kick off the second half of the season in the Auto Trade of British Touring Car Championship
00:04here at the Croft Circuit in the north of England with the title hunt as close as ever.
00:08In fact, only five points separates first and second place.
00:12But for Honda's James Thompson, a pre-season favourite, in fact, I tipped him to...
00:18With being injured and missing effectively five races,
00:23you know, it's going to be very, very difficult in that respect.
00:26And I'm not even thinking about it really.
00:29Unfortunately for me, or unfortunately for Honda,
00:31the other two drivers aren't at the sharp end at the moment,
00:34so hopefully we can all try and work together
00:37and, you know, claw our way up the championship a little bit,
00:40primarily for the manufacturers.
00:42Our car's been reasonably good all year,
00:45just unfortunate events have stopped us scoring so highly.
00:48But, you know, hopefully we can get a few more wins,
00:51we've got the drop scores at the end of the year,
00:53we might be able to end up somewhere sensible.
00:56Well, even if the championship is out of reach,
00:58at least it must feel good to be winning again.
01:01Nice to break the duck for the year.
01:03I mean, I've not gone through a year without winning a race,
01:06but the way the season was going up to then,
01:09and I was thinking this might be the year,
01:12but nice to get the first win out of the way and come back to my home track.
01:15Obviously carrying 40 kilos,
01:17but I was hoping a bit of home knowledge might help me out.
01:22Silverstone had its lows as well
01:24when James and Vincent Radomak are tangled.
01:27As far as I'm concerned, Vincent knew where I was on the track
01:30and proceeded to try and defend the corner,
01:34and he has to appreciate that I'm on the inside,
01:38taking advantage of his dice with Anthony,
01:40and, you know, at some stage you have to concede
01:42that somebody's got the run on you on the inside
01:44and give it at least a little bit of space.
01:46It was an unfortunate incident,
01:48and certainly one I don't wish to repeat.
01:53Honda are this week's heavyweights team with success ballast,
01:56all three cars carrying it.
01:58The Ford Fatsos are Menu and Reid,
02:01both carrying 20 and 30 respectively,
02:03and Ivan Muller carries 40 kilos as well
02:06because of his win in the Silverstone feature race.
02:09Being a works driver carrying ballast, well, that's a tough mission,
02:13but spare a thought for the independent super touring teams
02:16trying to beat the might of the works boys.
02:18Surely that's Mission Impossible 2.
02:23I think half the crack is getting the respect of the works drivers
02:26because a lot of them come with the belief
02:28that you're not meant to be racing me and you're not meant to be up here,
02:31and then you have to go through a learning period
02:33where you'll go off a few times with them
02:35and they'll try and intimidate you,
02:37and you've got to basically let them know
02:39that you're not there to be intimidated,
02:41and once they've done that, they're fine.
02:43They'll come afterwards or something.
02:48Trying to stay competitive isn't easy
02:50when you're running on a tight budget,
02:52so it's important to get everything right.
02:54We've got a Nissan Premiere, and it is a seriously good car.
02:58It's been one of the classes of the field for the last three years,
03:02and really one for believing that it's the whole team and it's the package.
03:05I think anyone will agree in the pit lane that Team Dynamics
03:08put on a seriously good show for the amount of money they've got,
03:11and what we do is, any sponsor who comes with us,
03:13we really try and give them value for money,
03:15not just on the track but off the track as well.
03:20But for Matt, the more competitive he becomes,
03:22the bigger the thrill, or should I say dilemma.
03:25I think the Michelin Cup is desperately important,
03:27and you've got to be careful you don't lose sight of it,
03:31and my primary objective is to win the Michelin Cup
03:34and the prestigiousness that goes with it,
03:37but definitely there's no better buzz than getting up there
03:40and sort of mixing in the top five
03:42and trying to get on the podium outright.
03:45That gives me a real rush.
03:48Fellow independent Colin Blair found Croft a mission too far,
03:52technical problems knocking him out for the weekend.
03:56OK, we all know the Indies have got pace,
03:58particularly that man, Matt Neil.
04:00So let's see how he goes and qualifies.
04:03Not bad, really, as it turned out, a fourth and a sixth place.
04:07Vauxhall, on the other hand, had a nightmare in both sessions.
04:11Muller was disqualified for technical infringements,
04:14as was Rademacher, who then failed to start his one-shot lap
04:18and starts from the back of the grid.
04:20Things also went wrong for Jason Plato
04:22when his on-board computer failed in the feature qualifying
04:25and shut down the engine.
04:27Not a good day at the office.
04:30James Thompson managed to get a sixth for the feature race
04:32but then found himself disqualified for the sprint.
04:36And the Ford boys, well, they've just had to watch
04:39a Swedish masterclass from Richard Rydell.
04:41I'm very pleased with today's qualifying positions, of course.
04:44I mean, I had it at Silverstone as well,
04:46so I know qualifying isn't everything.
04:48We've got to convert it tomorrow
04:49and just hope for two clean, good races tomorrow.
04:53Anthony Reid might not have been able to catch his team-mate
04:56but he did bag two seconds.
04:58Very consistent.
05:00Croft is a pretty wild old track, fast, bumpy in places
05:04and with an incredible variety of corners.
05:06Now, I reckon the most important one is Tower Corner
05:09because it's right in the middle of two very long straights.
05:12As well as that, Anthony Reid, it's a good place to pass.
05:15Well, I like this corner because the Ford is very good on braking
05:19and you've got a very fast chicane just before this long straight
05:22which approaches this corner here.
05:24And during the course of the race,
05:26inevitably people will make mistakes at the chicane
05:28because you have to take a lot of kerb.
05:31And that's your opportunity to dive down the inside.
05:34And if you can get the inside at the clipping point,
05:36you've got the corner and you're out in front
05:38as you come up to the carcasses.
05:40If you get it wrong, though, you lose momentum, don't you?
05:42And then you've lost tonnes of time out on the back of the circuit.
05:45I have occasionally come round this corner
05:47and seen people the top of the roof of a car
05:49just through the corn in the field out there.
05:52So how are you feeling for this weekend
05:54after being harpooned by Redemaker?
05:56I mean, the probabilities of that happening,
05:58I just didn't expect it.
06:00I was out there on the track on my own
06:02and I was skewered by this car that came across the infield.
06:05Just one of those things, I mean, in the sort of racing
06:07that we're competing in this year, very close and competitive.
06:10I have an undying image of you
06:12looking up in the rear-vision mirror of your car
06:14from the in-car we had of that accident
06:16just as the impact and your eyes were on springs
06:18as you suddenly realised what was going to happen.
06:20Yeah, I mean, I saw this flash,
06:22this red streak coming in from somewhere
06:24where I just didn't expect.
06:26And I just had enough time just to put a little bit of lock on
06:29and it had a huge impact.
06:31And I've had a lot of accidents in my career,
06:33but this was a big one.
06:35Yeah, well, good to have you back.
06:41This tape will self-destruct.
06:45You know, I thought for a minute there
06:47that actually printed the grid for the sprint race upside down.
06:49Either that or race one was going to be run in reverse order
06:52because so many of the fancy runners
06:54are at the back of the field.
06:56The answer, of course, was to be found in qualifying,
06:58which yesterday's qualifying for the sprint
07:00was an absolutely astonishing affair.
07:02Just to remind you, it's the one-shot showdown for the sprint race,
07:05which means the drivers get one lap only to set a time.
07:08Well, yesterday, seemingly half the field
07:10was either thrown out for technical infringements,
07:12they fell off the track during their fast lap,
07:14or in the case of old Vincent Rademacher here in the Vauxhall,
07:17well, he didn't even get onto the track at all
07:19because of mechanical problems.
07:21But it's not only at the back of the grid
07:23where there is sensation, John Watson.
07:25Hey, what about Rydell?
07:27Well, midsummer is the time for all Swedes to celebrate, to party,
07:30and Ricard Rydell has done that.
07:32He's taken pole position.
07:34And Mr. Consistent, Anthony Reed, is alongside him on the front row.
07:37Alain Meunier leading the championship on the second row
07:40alongside Tom Christensen, fresh from his Le Mans win.
07:43Jason Plato and Matt Neal in the independent Nissan on row three.
07:46Tarquini and Morrison, Class B leader in row four.
07:49Collard and Kaye in their Class B cars,
07:51making a very interesting grid indeed.
07:53Norton and Thompson, who failed scrutineering in row six.
07:56Lamer and Muller, who failed scrutineering in row seven.
07:59And then finally James and Rademacher,
08:01who never got out in qualifying at all.
08:05Revs are up. We're ready for a start.
08:07Keep your eye on those Vauxhalls coming off the back of the grid
08:10and James Thompson as well. And we are away.
08:12Everybody away cleanly. Matt Neal moving to the inside of the field.
08:15There come James Thompson and the two Vauxhalls.
08:18But Rydell is very cleanly away.
08:20Anthony Reed right on his bumper into Hawthorne for the first time.
08:23Then it's Meunier.
08:25We just saw a glimpse of Jason Plato.
08:27He's jumped up into fourth position. Stunning start.
08:29There he is now on board with him.
08:31And McGrath through that carousel part of the circuit.
08:34Through the chicane and onto the back straight.
08:36Great start from him up into fourth.
08:38Plato not shabby out of the blocks,
08:40but he wants to get a hook on the back of those three Fords.
08:43He doesn't want to let them get away.
08:45Well, he's right in touch with them at the moment,
08:47particularly Alain Meunier.
08:49Hondas aren't far behind them either.
08:51There's Gabriele Tarquini, then James Thompson,
08:53and the two Vauxhalls who all started off the back of the grid.
08:55They've made their way through past the Class B runners
08:58and are on the back of the leading Super Touring train.
09:01On board with Jason Plato again through Barcroft.
09:03Car gets a bit sideways there and underbrakes.
09:06That's Sonny in the first part of the corner, then Sonny out.
09:09That's the view back from Matt Neal's car.
09:11We're looking at Tom Christensen.
09:13Christensen had a puzzling start. He was actually P4.
09:15Now he's back in position 6.
09:17And it's also very clearly focused Matt Neal
09:20in his independent Nissan who's moving forwards.
09:22Well, he's on a roll indeed.
09:24Now in through the twiddly parts of the complex.
09:26This is where a lot of passing is done.
09:28The slowest corner there in touring car racing.
09:30That is the hairpin onto the pit straight.
09:32You can see Jason Plato there in fourth position.
09:34Matt Neal in fifth being harried by a whole herd of Hondas
09:37as he goes down the pit straight and across the strike for the first time.
09:40You can just see Neal's car there, the red Nissan,
09:43just behind the red Vauxhall
09:45and just in front of the red and white Honda.
09:47On board with Jason Plato again.
09:49Trying to maximise his position.
09:51Fourth place ahead of us is Alain Menu.
09:53Around the carousel.
09:55Now through. Big kerb hopping both sides.
09:58Runs it. Whoa! Actually runs it very wide.
10:01An absolute tank slapper from Jason Plato and he's off.
10:05Slide, slide, round and round we go.
10:08On the infield and...
10:10Well, Plato's gone off worse than a bag of prawns in the sun.
10:14Derek Warwick there.
10:16Team boss trying to work out what's going on.
10:18The rest of his team's going all right.
10:19That was a spectacular through.
10:22Very, very spectacular.
10:24That was through Barcroft. Now on Sunny, in Sunny, up.
10:26Reminds me of his days driving the Audi
10:28where he was so loose and live
10:31jumping through those Jim Clark S's.
10:33Now on board with him.
10:35Now ahead of us is the third of the Hondas, James Thompson.
10:39Now this is the complex. We do a tight right here
10:42and then we've got that very, very tight left.
10:44And Vincent Rademacher all over the bootlet of his team mate.
10:48Back into the hairpin and out again.
10:50Rademacher's on fire.
10:54All we're looking at is that he's just got out of that corner
10:56just a little bit quicker than his team mate.
10:58Here's the Class B battle.
10:59This is the battle for second position.
11:01Morrison up in the lead.
11:02That's Collard and Kay really giving him some pressure in the Accord.
11:05Kay moves to the left-hand side, side by side
11:07as they come up towards the complex.
11:11Very tough defence there from Collard.
11:13Kay trying to slide down the inside.
11:14We've got a turn right now.
11:16A very muscular pass there from James Kay.
11:18Welcome to Touring Cars, Robert.
11:20James Kay put the hard word on Collard.
11:22He could have given him more room on the exit
11:24but he did the right thing in my view.
11:25He ran him out to the edge of the track
11:27just to say, here you are and I am past you.
11:30And here he is now in front of Collard.
11:33This is the drag down the straight.
11:34Looks like they're getting plenty of horsepower out of that Honda Accord.
11:37But Collard still in touch.
11:38You can see his wing mirror folded in there
11:40courtesy of the passing manoeuvre from Kay.
11:43What can he do?
11:44Can he catch Morrison?
11:45Meantime, can Matt Neal catch Alain Menu?
11:48Menu coming under severe pressure.
11:50A big sideways slide there from Neal and Menu as well.
11:54That's Sonny in.
11:55Now Sonny out.
11:56The back half of that complex corner.
11:58Matt Neal really putting a big charge on.
12:00Well, this is the best I've seen, I think, Matt Neal all year.
12:02It's focused. It's committed.
12:04And all of a sudden, the Nissan, which was the wonder car of last year
12:07is beginning to look pretty good again as we get to the mid-season.
12:10Alain Menu's mirrors will be full of it as well through this tight complex.
12:14Now under the hairpin.
12:15Matt Neal seeing if he can exit again alongside.
12:18Can he? Almost.
12:19Almost alongside Alain Menu.
12:21Menu just shuts the door in time.
12:23Oh, speaking of shutting the door, that's Rademacher.
12:26He's through. He's past his teammate.
12:27We're on board with Ivan Muller.
12:29And Rademacher has slid through
12:31and is now pulling away down the pit straight.
12:32And that certainly is not part of the game plan for Vauxhall.
12:35We've seen all year that Muller is the chosen son.
12:38And all of a sudden, Rademacher, number three in the team, just goes by.
12:42Well, talk about game plans not working
12:44as we look at the leaderboard by Del Reed and Menu.
12:47All Fords in the top three.
12:48Then Neal, Christensen in the Honda and Tarquini.
12:51Talking about game plans not going according to the way they were mapped out.
12:54Look at Alain Menu.
12:56The Works Ford driver absolutely being monstered by Matt Neal in that Nissan.
13:00And the strange thing is, we saw back at Silverstone,
13:03Menu possibly giving up a position
13:05to get a lower weight for the race here in Croft.
13:0720 kilograms on board,
13:09but the Nissans are all over the back of Menu's Ford.
13:12Really exerting himself.
13:14A lunge from Matt Neal there.
13:15Puff of smoke from the rear tyre as the car's unbalanced.
13:18And he stands on the brakes.
13:19They're pushing 130 miles an hour
13:21as they move down into that really tight corner.
13:23And here's Jason Plato wandering back.
13:25Very windswept look on the hairdo,
13:27but he's not a happy boy.
13:28I think the face of Jason Plato says,
13:30It's time to be sorry, guys.
13:32I made that mistake.
13:33Now look at the body language of Matt Neal's car
13:35as we move into the hairpin.
13:37And he's actually alongside Menu this time.
13:39Has he made it stick? Yes, he has.
13:41Wing mirrors flying and Matt Neal is through.
13:43Now Tom Christensen is challenging Menu.
13:45On board with Menu.
13:46There's Christensen side by side down the pit straight.
13:49Christensen had the momentum.
13:50Menu's lost it.
13:51Now who's going to turn?
13:52We've got to turn right here.
13:53Christensen's held it.
13:54Bad stuff for Menu.
13:55Tough stuff from Christensen.
13:56Yeah, I mean, in two cars and in the space of two corners,
13:58something below par with Alan Menu.
14:00We'd normally expect to see him at the front.
14:02And if he's not at the front,
14:03he's certainly at the top of his game.
14:05Something not right for the Swiss this afternoon.
14:08And I guess points for Matt Neal as well, John Watson.
14:10That was a pretty tough but effective pass.
14:12Yeah, the team dynamics.
14:13Nissan, father and son, Steve and Matt Neal
14:15suddenly looking like a racing team
14:17as it should have done all year.
14:19Now Alan's got a lot on his plate as he just slides past James,
14:22one of the independent Class B runners.
14:25Onto the back of the circuit.
14:27And very, very much in the thick of things.
14:30That's Tom Christensen in front.
14:32Alan Menu in the yellow and blue Ford.
14:34And then right behind him, Gabriele Tarquini
14:36in the second of the Hondas.
14:38And Tarquini is on a charge.
14:39And just to be, you come down through the Jim Clark S,
14:41it's almost flat out.
14:42Down through Barcroft, it's almost flat out.
14:45Into Sonny on the brakes.
14:46Real racing here this afternoon.
14:48Absolutely hanging on by your toenails.
14:51Stuff through the back of that circuit trying to pass.
14:54Watching through the tight stuff.
14:56Just in behind Christensen.
15:00More defensive than offensive at the moment for Alan.
15:02He's really got to hang on to that place he's got.
15:04Just looks simply like Menu hasn't got the performance,
15:07either the grip or the drive off the corners.
15:10And he's been gobbled up.
15:11He's got Nissan's now.
15:12He's between the two Hondas.
15:13Not a happy place for Menu to be this afternoon.
15:16Remember Christensen's got his tail up.
15:17He's had a win this year.
15:18He's looking very strong.
15:21I don't know what happened.
15:22As soon as I landed, it didn't turn left like it should do.
15:26I've got a big puncture.
15:28But I don't know if that happened.
15:29As I was spinning down the grass, there was a bit of a thump from the front.
15:32The rear wheels were going round as you were trying to stop,
15:36but the front wheels were locked.
15:37So I don't know whether it was a result of or because of.
15:40I'm just thinking that was it.
15:42History.
15:44Jason Plato explaining things to Derek Warwick.
15:46What do you make of that?
15:47I think he's looking for a way out, really.
15:49It just looked to me like it was a driver error.
15:51It didn't seem to be a problem.
15:53And from the onboard camera on Plato's car,
15:55well, it looks to me like, Jason, that one is down to you.
15:58Well, he may well really rue that,
16:00because he was up into fourth position in this race.
16:02And as we've seen, Matt Neal has managed to overhaul Alan Menuh.
16:05Maybe Jason would have had a chance to do it as well,
16:07if he'd only managed to stay on the track.
16:10Talking about staying on the track, there's somebody off ahead of us.
16:13Into the gravel, that's James Kay.
16:15Doing a bit of sand mining there.
16:17Like a blunderbuss, opens up on the front of Menuh's car with all of that grit.
16:21It'll be stone chips at go-go.
16:22Now we're on board with Mark Lemmer,
16:24and you can see that's cost James Kay some real momentum
16:27as one of the worst Hondas just slides through as we go through the chicane.
16:38Now, Alan Menuh has still got tons of work on his hands.
16:41He's now trying to deal with Gabriele Tarquini.
16:43There's Collard, who was passed a little while ago by James Kay,
16:46and has now picked up that spot again.
16:49The Clarkesses, that's where they are so quick.
16:53Around Barcroft, Menuh looks pretty quick there.
16:56Although you can see puff of smoke there from Tarquini.
16:59He is working very hard trying to catch up,
17:01but that's very sideways, Alan Menuh there.
17:03That car doesn't look happy.
17:05The car looks very unstable.
17:06In fact, I think the problem with Menuh is he hasn't got an awful lot of grip,
17:09and it seems to be maybe just one odd tyre,
17:11maybe a complete set of tyres.
17:13That happens from time to time.
17:14Great encouragement for Gabriele Tarquini.
17:16He'll be able to sense there's blood in the water.
17:18He can see Menuh struggling.
17:20And he'll be just trying to line him up,
17:22work out the moment to do it.
17:26He's got plenty of squirt, as we can see, down the pit straight.
17:32Brilliant sound from that big V6.
17:36All the way down through the gears.
17:37Alan Morrison ahead of us, the leading class B runner.
17:40Etiquette called for.
17:44And given.
17:45Good job by Morrison.
17:46He let the two cars go through.
17:48They've maintained their momentum,
17:49and so has Morrison.
17:50Very important for the class B leader.
17:54Back straight down towards Tower Corner now.
17:56Oh, no. Rotten luck.
18:00Engine's gone sick.
18:01It's gone down the cylinder.
18:02Big problem there for Kate.
18:04Yeah, it's a disappointment.
18:05James Kay has got a new engine for that Honda.
18:07Something's gone wrong down the cylinder.
18:09Maybe something very simple.
18:11Hopefully, that's what it is.
18:13Listen, look at this Matt Neil guy.
18:14I don't know what he had for breakfast this morning,
18:16but he's absolutely charging.
18:18That is now the back of Anthony Reid's car
18:20that he is challenging.
18:21Matt Neil, the independent runner.
18:23You can just see Rydell, our race leader,
18:24there in the picture.
18:25And Reid is second place.
18:27Matt Neil is in third position outright,
18:29and harrying the man for second.
18:30This is a fight for second place.
18:32In tight through the complex.
18:34He's really, really motoring.
18:36In fact, Matt Neil is the quickest car on the circuit.
18:38He just has got the two Fords ahead of him,
18:40and it's going to be much more difficult
18:41to get past Reid and Rydell
18:43than it was getting past Benjy.
18:44But that Nissan, currently,
18:45is the class of the field here in this sprint race.
18:48Well, he might have two Fords ahead of him now, Waddy,
18:50but he might only have one the way he's going,
18:52because he is really, really in touch with Anthony Reid.
18:56Through Hawthorne's.
18:57Now.
18:59Around the big carousel.
19:00Makes you dizzy hanging onto this.
19:03And there's a big jump.
19:04The chicane at the exit.
19:05That's where Jason Blaney had difficulty.
19:07There's the confirmation as if we needed it.
19:09Rydell, Reid and Neil in the first three positions.
19:11We can see that.
19:12And Christensen, Menuh and Tarquini round out the top six.
19:16Steven Muller, still a distant ninth,
19:18hasn't really recovered from starting
19:19right off the back of the grid just about
19:21at the start of this race.
19:24Now, what's the gap as we go down
19:26through the really fast part of the circuit?
19:27Reid, he looks a bit quicker there.
19:29Well, I think Reid's got a problem.
19:30He's got Matt Neil on his bootlid,
19:32whereas Rydell at the front,
19:33he's really into consolidation.
19:34Just clean last lap.
19:36Make no mistakes.
19:37Take the chequered flag.
19:38Well, that's the theory anyway.
19:40Let's just see if it sticks.
19:42Reid has opened up a gap.
19:45Definitely, he's getting closer to his teammate
19:47than he was a lap ago.
19:48But Rydell's absolutely got this in the bag.
19:50He can cruise from here.
19:51Made it look easy.
19:52Yeah, I mean, this will be expected all year
19:54from Ricard Rydell.
19:55He had two pulls at Silverstone last rounds.
19:57Couldn't capitalize on them.
19:58He's two pulls here this afternoon.
20:00He's managed one victory so far.
20:02And he'll be hard to deny in the second.
20:04And I'll tell you what,
20:05Ricard Rydell will be well pleased with that win.
20:08But his teammate, Anthony Rick,
20:10will be almost as pleased with second place
20:12because he just hung on.
20:14He just saw a big lunge from Matt Neil
20:16into the last corner.
20:17It wasn't enough.
20:18But this man's race, start to finish.
20:20Nicely done, Ricard.
20:22Important for his championship hunt.
20:24Reidy, as we saw, in second place.
20:26Then the magnificent Matt Neil,
20:28third place, his first podium of the year.
20:30Christensen, fourth position.
20:32Well, he started there and finished there.
20:33That's not bad.
20:34And Alain Menu slipped back into fifth position.
20:37He won't be happy with that
20:38and will be scratching his head between races
20:39to work out what to do.
20:40Tarquini, sixth.
20:41Thompson, seventh.
20:42Muller, Rademacher.
20:43Then Morrison makes the top ten.
20:47Ricard, congratulations.
20:48That's more like it.
20:49Yeah, I mean, after Silverstone,
20:51two world positions.
20:52And I had a first and a second,
20:54but it was things beyond my control
20:56made me score almost no points in Silverstone.
20:58So we need to make up for it now.
21:00And this is a good way to start.
21:02One more to go.
21:03You've got to do it again in the feature race.
21:05Yeah, it's very important, of course,
21:06to score good points once you've won one race
21:08because you know that you end up with 40 kilos
21:10for the next weekend.
21:11So because of that,
21:12we'd like to have some good scores
21:14for the next race as well.
21:16Hey, and what about Matt Neil?
21:18We must have brought him good luck.
21:19Not only another independent win,
21:21but third outright.
21:22It feels good to get up on the podium outright.
21:25It's been 12 months,
21:26and yeah, it's a real good feeling.
21:29The day before I came,
21:30I've got twin sons, William and Henry,
21:32and they said,
21:33you've got to win this weekend.
21:34And it's not quite a win,
21:36but it's good enough for me,
21:38and this one's for them.
