Absolutely incredible driving! Truly fantastic!

[@davemarshallracing]

Thanks bud. Love those conditions and car felt so safe. I know it was sideways but didn’t really snap at all.

[@martynjewell5627]

Car control and commitment cant be faulted. Your "moments" are entertaining to watch for sure 😁 Fantastic driving and great racing.

[@davemarshallracing]

Haha thanks Martyn. Was fun for sure even if sometimes wasn’t the quickest. More of the same from Silverstone quali coming on Thursday.

[@AndyLangleyRacing]

Unlucky, that was your race! Mega commitment around the back, good to watch, great driving.

[@davemarshallracing]

Thanks Andy. What a track it is. Never been before but would love to go back now

[@Garage38Racing]

“That was a moment” 😂😂😂 Absolutely mega to watch mate. Envious of the car skills 😎

[@Garage38Racing]

Would love to see a pedal cam next year?

[@davemarshallracing]

Cheers bud. Sim driving has from a very early has helped with car control. Oh do have a spare camera. That might be a shout. Would be interesting to watch it myself. Who knows what my feet are doing 😂

[@Garage38Racing]

@@davemarshallracing can’t believe how mobile the rear end is. Drove a stock FN2 some years back and loved it. Will have to catch up at some point!

[@davemarshallracing]

@@Garage38Racing don’t know whether it is mobile or just lack of grip haha. Yeah for sure bud

[@davemellor4697]

I will say one thing by FU-K you are sooo committed in the corners Dave! Bad luck.

[@davemarshallracing]

Haha cheers bud. Commitment doesn’t seem to the issue. Straight line speed and traction seems the issue

[@richardthompson7133]

Dam and blast just when you had it in the bag the gremlin got in your car and buggered it up but that's racing. Your car is getting better every race keep going your day will come.

[@davemarshallracing]

Cheers bud. Yeah was a shame but you know what. We put a show on and think I proved what we can do

[@ScottandAlana4x4]

Managed to find some time between editing tasks to watch this one and it was fantastic. Granted the outcome was less than ideal, but the overall video was amazing. 👌 I think most of us mear mortals can only wish of having your car control skills! 😁 A bit of a different question for you... You've mentioned previously that if the budget comes together it'll be another (hopefully great) season of Civic Cup next year. But what's the ultimate goal of Team Dave Marshall Racing if you had the budget to do whatever you wanted for the many years to come? Stay in Civic's and just have a great time like you are doing for seasons to come? Tough it out with the best in TCR's? Rub panels in the BTCC? Or aiming high for some form of GT racing? - Scott

[@davemarshallracing]

Thanks Scott. Ultimate goal is to have fun and so far civics prove to be one of the best paddocks to be part of. Granted btcc would be great but it is budget that you can’t even imagine. To get a seat in btcc now is around 500k a season. I just can’t comprehend that it would be worth it. It feel a lot for what we pay and we don’t even do a grand a weekend. Actually next weeks video is about the cost of racing.

SO unlucky mate!......great move on Kite early doors......i know silverstone was the same vibe, but you and ya team should be well proud of the development of that car over the last 2 seasons.....I know you'vve had a chance to develop it to your liking, and but for the mechanical gremlins you would have had 2 wins for sure. Well done and great racing and channel

[@davemarshallracing]

Thanks so much bod. Yeah would like to think there was two wins on the cards but all ifs and buts. We have had great fun and so proud of where the we have got the car too. Would have been mint to reward them with a win though. Thanks for the support bod.
