British Touring Car Championship ace Ricky Collard has been given a reprieve and will be back on the grid for this weekend’s final round at Brands Hatch.
Collard’s late deal with the Excelr8 Motorsport Hyundai team for 2026 was initially for the first five of the 10 rounds, but this was extended to eight while Japanese hopeful Osamu Kawashima waited in the wings.
