Basically sounds like he can't handle losing. Off to join Oliphant in Australia, slowly becoming a BTCC retirement home!

Yeah interesting to know what he's getting at. I think we all know what the BTCC is nowadays but there is still some top drivers out there who will take some beating. Sutton and Ingram would have been salaried drivers back in the ST days, no doubt about it. You don't just turn up and win against drivers like that as Collard seems to think he should be able to do.
It may no longer be a manufacturer driven series with good looking drivers on massive wages but it's far from purely a Gentleman's pursuit for people who want to dot around and have a nice Sunday and as long as the car isn't scratched they don't care where they finish
