However he certainly has ambitions of subbing for Rob, so it will be down to whether BMW says yes. |

Rob Collard has been a btcc stalwart from the production days to ngtc, if he does retire he will be missed, lot of respect for him. ricky is more than capable of filling the seat and deserves it on his own merit

Would have titles to his name if only he got his act together on the Saturday!

Rob's driving simply isn't geared around getting the best of a car on a single hot lap. It's all about the longer run, getting into his rhythm and managing the car. I've always thought he would be an excellent GT racer for this reason.

Would have liked to see Rob and his son as team-mates like the Jordans were 10 years ago.

Is it just the main stand open now? None of the other stands open at all...?

Glynn Geddie to AMD. The same Glynn Geddie that was banned for drink driving.

The guy made a stupid mistake for sure, but he paid the price and served the penalty. Surely he deserves a second chance?

I know that times & opinions have changed by my favourite saloon car (as they were called at the time) racer in the early 1970's was a chap called Gerry Marshall. He was well known for enjoying a drink (in fact his excellent biography was called "Only here for the Beer"!)

I can confirm that fact. A lasting memory is of Gerry, a couple of other drivers and myself, doing our damnedest to drink the Paddock Bar at Brands dry after a major Redex meeting. At the end of the evening, only Gerry and I were left, and when I next spoke to him we found out that neither of us could remember how we got home to North London. His reason was that he had won (again), whilst my excuse was that I had suffered my first ever mechanical issue in a heat race that meant that I couldn't make it to the final later that afternoon. A faulty head gasket was to blame. |

To summarise driver changes going into Rockingham -
- Ricky Collard replaces Rob Collard (WSR BMW) for Rock and Knock - Glynn Geddie replaces Boardman / AWE (AmD MG) for the rest of the season - Ollie Pidgley replaces Hill / Welch (HARD VW) for the rest of the season |
