ITV1 SPEED SUNDAY GUEST SLOT FOR BTCC STARS
Silverstone's action-packed three rounds of the Green Flag
MSA British Touring Car Championship will be shown at the
revised time of 2pm on ITV1 this coming Sunday, 16 May.
The hour-long highlights show will be followed by ITV1's
motor sport magazine Speed Sunday and will feature BTCC drivers
Anthony Reid, Matt Neal, James Thompson and Tom Chilton.
WSR driver Reid was at the centre of a controversial third
BTCC race at Silverstone that has had British motor sport
talking about little else in the past four days.
His MG ZS was involved in collisions with Thompson's Vauxhall
Astra and Neal's Computeach Racing with Halfords Honda Civic
while fighting for the lead of the race. Both Thompson and
Neal have heavily criticised Reid in the media. Reid was penalised
for his incident with Thompson and confronted by Neal as they
got out of their cars.
Their appearance on Speed Sunday in front of a live studio
audience and an enormous number of viewers watching at home
will enable each to air their views about what happened at
Silverstone.
Speed Sunday will also focus on 19-year-old Chilton's record-breaking
drive in the third race. Team Honda's teenage sensation took
advantage of Reid and Neal's clash to become the youngest
ever winner in BTCC history.
In addition, SEAT's BTCC driver Jason Plato will be on Speed
Sunday as one of the show's presenters.
