Why can't they just give a simple drive through if they feel the need to actually give out penalties? At least they're consistent after what happened at Brands.
Does the MSA not allow simple racing incidents anymore?

As Tim Harvey said, it was merely because the BMW is rear wheel drive. If Nash had hit a fellow Chevvy there wouldnt have been a spin.EwmanM wrote:Nash has got disqualified from Race 3.

He only gave Collard a light tap - I think Collard's tyres were badly going off anyway. What about Collard and Neal - they were bashing each other far harder earlier on. Really ridiculous.

Anyone know exactly why the Seats are so much worse than last season? Surely it's not all down to a lack of works backing...
I just have to say, man i love the BTCC!
edit: Also, the 'pedal cam' is brilliant.
Herbert confirms Silverstone debut

Johnny Herbert
Johnny Herbert has confirmed that he will race one of Team Dynamics' Honda Civics in the final three rounds of this year's British Touring Car Championship.
The 45-year-old three-time grand prix winner will replace team leader James Thompson, who is already committed to the WTCC and Australian V8 Supercars, at the Silverstone, Rockingham and Brands Hatch GP rounds.
Herbert, who also won the 1991 Le Mans 24 Hours with Mazda, tested a for the team at Rockingham last month but says he needs more time behind the wheel to get up to speed for his debut.
"It will be a challenge, I have no doubt about that," Herbert said. "Guys like Fabrizio Giovanardi and Jason Plato just have so much experience in touring cars, but I'm very much looking forward to it.
"I haven't raced a front-wheel drive car since I did a round of the Spanish SEAT Cup about seven years ago, and the Rockingham test, which was only an afternoon really and didn't give me too much opportunity to really get down to business, so hopefully with a bit more track time I can be competitive."
Herbert will spend this weekend's Knockhill BTCC round with the team, although he will not drive.
