pimmy should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
That was a nasty crash, I hope the drivers aren't badly hurt. **** poor car control by Brown though. No idea why it took everyone so long to slow down either.

Right rear still on the grass, no idea what he was playing at was well after he had already shot across the track

Towards the end of the race we got an on-board from Butcher's car where the camera looked like it was positioned in the door mirror. That would have been perfect for a replay of Collard's wild wide on the start straight where he nearly took out his teammate, but we never got it.

Not liking the sound of this delay and lack of news. If it was barrier damage they'd have said surely

Last time I remember a delay like this, was Billy Monger.

Yeah thats exactly my thoughts. In reality the worst thing I think in this crash was again the initial impact due to the speed up that straight

Surprised Jade didn't bring the car in. BTC have already had points deductions for using too many engines so risking another seems a bit odd to me.

Expect they told her to keep going until the car overheated on the off chance that it didn’t overheat.

Didn't look like a massive impact, but given Colin White rolled a fair bit there must've been a lot of energy, and the initial appearance may have been deceptive.


Also, Colin must be mid 60's and ain't going to be as rubbery as the young 'uns! If he had to be extracted, I'd guess that's taken into consideration and may need a bit more time?

Fingers crossed all are ok.

All the best to them both. The air ambulance isn't too good a sign but it's not right to speculate, and they're both in the best hands.

They've said one evacuated via air ambulance and one still stuck in the car at this point. Not sure you can classify that as "good news" just yet.

Not really speculation when the pictures are in the public domain is it?

Anyway I edited the post because I don’t want an argument but I’ve not posted anything that wasn’t already out there

Speculate on their condition.

Wasn't referring to you!

Collard really is just proving to be a hot head and nothing more. His driving standards of just ramming whoever overtakes him is disgusting.

And quite right to highlights Bobby Thompson’s performance in that car. He did so well in that Audi S3 and doing similar in the Cupra.

Nice to see the winning driver getting to do the reverse grid draw again. Hasn't happened for a while.

My money is on Sutton for the title this year
