A nation of BTCC fans were gutted for you Dan, we know how hard it must be to trump the big boys. The team and particularly you should be very proud of your efforts. Onwards and upwards, rooting for y'all.

One plus you can take from it is you didn't get collected up by the other cars so hopefully just the bits that broke to repair rather than a lot more.

Mate, so unlucky - you did everything right. Really felt for you and the team when the mechanical issue forced you out! Big up to Rory Butcher for how humble in victory he was as well.

Thanks mate, and yeah was so nice what he said!! Fair play and least the win went to someone who it meant a lot too! :)

Deserved the win with all the work you and the team have done, but as you know, that is racing, upwards and onwards.

Your time will come Dan, absolutely gutted mate Good to see the vlogs back

Thanks mate!! Will keep going with them now!! Head's back into gear! Well, not yesterday!! haha

Simply couldn't believe what I witnessed 2 corners down from where I was, ready with my camera to capture you taking the maiden win for the Cupra. My heart sank, and so did I, to the ground. It was simply a stunning drive up to that point. Wishing you all the best for the rest of the season, and a 2024 campaign, and I'm sure I'll be able to meet you in the paddock once again.

You had a superb drive all day, did yourself and the team proud, hope your sponsorship worries get resolved, it’s great having you on the grid

I have watched touring cars for years and years, you drove an absolute stormer of a race, I was on the edge of my sofa ! I thought the race win was in the bag. All credit to you when you got out of the car you didn't slam doors or take strop. I will be following you and the team from now on. Best of luck next time out. Coincidently, last week I ordered a Cupra Leon !!

Back at it at Silverstone!!!

Absolutely gutted! That was the drive of the day!

You so deserved that victory! I watched live and could not believe what happened. Good luck with the rest of the season and your funding. Keep your chin up. I will be hoping your turn comes as you are due good luck now.

That was a brutal ending mate, especially after you’d been mugged of a solid lead by the safety car. Was an absolutely brilliant drive under pressure. Racing can be ridiculously cruel sometimes

Thanks mate!! Bloody safety car!!! 👎

Thats a killer feeling when you think about what could of been ...that sinking feeling you get. The best you can take out of it is that you proved the pace of yourself and the car .

Dan - this drive was something special - the Supra working well, but you were the star to outrun that competition. You emerge from this experience head held high again at the top of the top level pile - a high-inertia platform on which to base your end of season push to bring next year to reality. All the best Man!

Seriously gutted for you Dan, you drove a brilliant race

I'm absolutely gutted for you, Dan. Everyone watching either at home or at the track was rooting for you to win. You deserve it so much. Thank you for all the Vlogs. This one is especially emotional for you. Thank you for sharing. We are all behind you mate.

Fair play Dan your driving was on point in that last race. I was buzzing when you got pulled out the bowl for pole !! I was glued to the TV cheering you on all the way till that disaster hit, really felt your pain.. the highs & lows that’s motorsport for ya. 🏁💪🏼

Race 3 was one of the drives of the season. Keep your chin up Dan, hopefully sponsors will have seen that and will be beating down your door with offers

Absolutely gutted for you Dan, but you should hold your head high. You drove a perfect race and did yourself and the team proud. The most under-rated driver in the sport at the moment. Fingers crossed it all works out for next season, the grid would be a poorer place without you!

I was sat at the chicane , when I saw it in the tv I was shocked!! So gutted for you mate , it was all yours , you deserved that win more any one else 😢 roll on Silverstone , good luck bud x

Ah Dan we were so so gutted for you 😢, as I am sure you still feel. You drove such an impeccable race from start to finish. Be proud of yourself. Best of luck for Silverstone.

I was there bro listening, you will just click ,remember Martin deeper, he never clicked ❤

It was great driving Dan. You have really shown what the Cupra is capable of. Chin up!

Gutted for you mate. You drove amazingly in that last race. My son cheers for you every race after you signing a poster so will be cheering you on for the final few rounds!! All the best 👍🏼

I threw my Sandwich at the TV and cried for you!

As I’ve said several time as a fan. Mega proud of your performance and attitude in dealing with something out of your control. We all know the team is proud and your sponsors received great coverage. I wouldn’t be too surprised to see a significant increase in you fan base following Donington.

That for me was the drive of the season! Your commitment through the chicane and the way you were dragging everything out of the car lap after lap was super to watch! The only time I shouted at the TV all day was when I saw your car break on you! I really hope you have strong finish to the season and can hit the ground running next year, deffo a Championship in there if you can get the pieces of the puzzle together.. best of luck 👍🍺

I was there. The sound I heard (and emitted) from around me when we found out what had happened, absolutely heartbreaking. While I don't follow you in-depth. That was a deserved win 100%. Good luck at the future rounds. You'll get that win one day.

Wounded! Excited when you got drawn for the reverse.... absolutely gutted for you in the end. ITV will probably clip that footage and use it in next season's intro

Was up at McLean's watching the race, absolutely gutted for you Dan. As you went passed on the final lap thought that's it well done lad. Then to see the car starting to fishtail was absolutely devastated for you buddy. Saw you sat up against the fence up a Coppice, wanted to come and give you a big hug mate 😂 absolutely gutted for you buddy you 1 million percent deserved that win. Keep driving like that it will come mate

Truly gutted for you mate. My son and i only managed to watch it last night because i work shifts. Your desire for a win is more genuine and would definitely be far more memorable than the title chasing drivers who would just treat it as "just another win to battle for the title". We'll be rooting for you when we get to watch it on record when I've finished work despite the fact we live just over an hour from Silverstone. Very best of luck.

Absolutely gutting watching that moment Dan! I think everyone saw that you deserved that win. Regroup, you'll be fighting at the front again for sure.

Totally gutted for you Dan but your win will come soon! We are so proud of you! Onwards and upwards Dan, keep on going buddy and we will see you soon. 👊

Was so gutted for you and your team was there watching you did brilliantly, good luck for the rest of the season 🏁

Gutted for you dan, as we all are, but keep your head up. You performed amazingly well, and silverstone will be another chance to perform and hopefully you might have a bit of luck there🙏🏾🙏🏾

What a race you drive Dan. I was so gutted for u. However u can take away a lot of positives and know the cupra has potential to fight at the front. Good luck for Silverstone and the rest of the season. Your win will come!! Keep ur chin up 💪🏻🏎️

Absolutely gutted for you Dan, you drove beautifully in that race, pitch perfect. Spot on dealing with the safety car etc. Onwards and upwards:)

The fact if people stopped slamming them tyres the race would have been 14 laps instead of 15. Your the winner of that race Dan. Its coming for real 🙌

I was at Donington at the hairpin for that last race, absolutely GUTTED when we didnt see you come round the last lap!

Gutted for you Dan. Not a dry eye in sight. We all felt devastated for you. You deserved that win. You Drove superbly. Sadly it wasn’t to be. But take the positives from that. You held yourself until the car let you down. You can do it again. x

I was watching from the banking at Hollywood, starting to believe when the gap back to Rory stayed about constant then the drama unfolded on the big screen in front of us - a collective groan from the crowd that it wasn't to be this time. Good luck for the final rounds and hope to see you back in 2024.

You drove magnificently all race dan, was gutted for you, Your still one of my favourite drivers no matter what!, You did yourself and the team proud.. bring on silverstone mate rooting for you 👍

Keep with it Dan, it’s so unlucky but character building. You’ve the skill and heart of a champion so the wins will come 👍

Really gutted for ya mate, hardly put a foot wrong in that last race and fully deserved the win. Just hasnt gone your way at times this season, but im sure the tide will turn and go in your favor. Keep pushing mate!!

Absolutely gutted for you mate! Was an outstanding drive by you, really hope to see you on the grid next year!

Unlucky Dan, you did everything right to win the third race. So unfortunate but you can’t help the mechanical failures. You will get there keep up the amazing work. Routing for you.

Mega drive! You did the job as you said, onwards and upwards! Everyone saw the performance not everything needs to be on paper hey! 👌🏻🏁

It was gutting and devastating to see, not a foot wrong absolutely perfect drive. Mechanicals happen don’t let yourself or your race engineers/mechanics feel bad nothing could have prevented that mechanical. As your partner has said Dan chin up be proud you did good other chances will present themselves 👍.

Keep strong and carry on doing what you're doing it will come to you. HARD work gets returns. Keep on peddling, and you will get there.

You drove a mega race Dan, 💩 happens & you must be gutted but you'll come back stronger and hopefully you'll find the support to continue next year.

Dan. You are a great driver and great bloke. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting you several times via Porsche GB. Racing has its highs and of course Lows. Just dig in and do your best my Son. You can rise again and you will 💪

Unbelievable drive mate, the cupra looked brilliant leading the pack 👍. Absolutely gutted what happened on the last lap. 😢

Heart goes out to you mate you drove amazing your time will come

Was absolutely gutted for you on Sunday watching that final lap. Chin up. Hope you get that podium and or win by the end of the year

What a drive Dan, gutted for you. Big step on this year in the car, wont be long till we see you on the top step🤞🤞

Watching behind the scenes of a racing driver really shows they are just normal people. I know it sounds stupid but I see them all as super heroes. Wish I could have had that life. When I told my dad I wanted to be a racing driver after seeing F1 in 1992 at silverstone as a kid, he just stopped me in my tracks and said "forget about it, put it out of your mind". He knew the crazy money needed in motorsport and I didn't have a clue!

Dan you drove a superb race and its devastating to miss out on a win so close to the flag, very similar to Cammish a coupe of years ago when he had brake failure to win the title. Wow seeing how upset you are, I cant image the days after for him. Keep up the videos its great to see a drivers perspective on the BTCC

An amazing drive. Heartbreaking to see it spin. Keep your head up buddy

Devastated for you mate. Chin up, you were driving amazing all weekend. Hope you can finally get a podium again soon and hioe you're back next year. You're a genuine talent

I was sitting on the outside of Old Hairpin through that race. From what I could see on the nearest screen it looked like Butcher had wiped across the back of you and tipped you into a tank slapper, didn't realise youd had a mechanical failure until now. Gutting that it happened and so close to the finish. You drove a brilliant race up to that point too.

Great video Dan! It had it all great driving, great insight and unfortunately the heart break at the end but keep your head up x

Me and the bro were there Dan, you drove a terrific race 3, had answers to all that was thrown at you. You and the team have got what it takes to be a winner. We'll be at Silverstone - you show 'em!

So heartbreaking you were awesome in that race dan

Feel your pain there mate horrible to see the devastation in your face after the race. Keep up the good attitude you have pal your time will definitely come i am certain of that 🙏

Been a fan of Rory Butcher ever since he stepped in a touring car. Even I was gutted when events turned pants in R3, Race was yours mate, just gutted for ya🏁👊

Dan, you drove a brilliant race & weekend to be fair, you showed everyone you can run in the top spot! That top step will be yours soon mate, keep it up!

one of the biggest heart breaks i have ever witnessed in mother racing and that's from a fan's perspective. cant imagine how hard that was for you and the team

Gutted for you Dan. I’ve been there and it’s cruel. Your driving was exemplary and very clean. Kate my wife wondered what had happened because I was shouting at the TV 😩Keep your chin up and good luck for Silverstone 👍

Amazing drive in race 3, only to lose out like that such a bit of bad luck. This will only make you come back stronger now you know it's in you.

Dan, I was heartbroken after seeing you drive like an absolute demon for the entirety of that race. You really showed class and serious talent to hold off everyone for as long as you did. Gutted that you were so close to your first podium with TEAM Hard. It will come soon, I can feel it. Love your content mate and love watching you race, I always root for you wherever you are racing. Chin up bud and finish the season strong 👍.

Love ❤ BTCC, but watching that Sunday was heartbreaking! So gutted for you mate 😢

Gutted! Keep smiling pal❤

Stay focused Dan stay strong keep it nailed 🏁

DLR Power , can’t control bad luck but you can control the whole btcc grid, epic drive , you’ll be back 🏁🏎️

The highs of the reverse grid to the low of that last lap. Everyone trackside felt it with you, that drive deserved the win. I hope it highlights your talent to sponsors and keeps you in the BTCC. Take the positives to Silverstone!

Well done Dan was our first time being there and what a show! Gutted for you but will be there to support at Silverstone

Proper gutted for you and the entire family and team mate. Onwards though, that podium will come!!

You may not have won, but everyone know you should have been the winner. So you’ll get an official win sometime soon. Will be rooting for you 👍

Dude, so gutted for you. Still an awesome drive

I've had that happen to me it's the worst thing ever, gutted for you man you deserved that win hands down

Keep moving forward don’t look back think positive ❤

great video. Such a great drive yesterday, you deserved the win so disapointed for you

So close but you will soon get your 1st win. Keep going Dan!!!

Dan you can be proud of the drive you delivered, great race management. Such a shame the car went technical on the last lap but take the positives and chin up.
