yeah it is/was live on motors tv(sky/cable users) the whole of yesterday covering all of the races not just touring cars

Also it was on ITV 3 but they only covered the 1st and last touring car races.

Collard deserved to lose his place in the 3rd race too He deliberately rammed Matt Neal off IMO.

Plato was heavily penalised for the next rounds when he did same thing last year.

Its std practice for the car that causes a red flag to be excluded, although from where i was it just looked like 2 cars going for the same bit of tarmac . It took Matt quite a while to get out of the car tho and no-one likes to see major crahes or injuries especially at the BTCC so Rob was always going to be excluded whether he was right or wrong !
Big accident tho !

Collard was just retalliating for the slight nudge Matt Neal gave him just before that, except that was a racing incident..... not deliberate like Collards was. I don't remember Matt Neal braking nor taking his foot off the throttle when I watched it.

I have disliked Collard from 2 years ago when he caused Rob Huff to have an enormous off at Oulton just outta Old Hall, he said he was blameless for that too.... yeah right
