He received 4 points on his race licence and a severe bollocking from the CoC.

Still not enough though.

Initially I thought this was about him being all over the back end of the white car until he lost it which I was thinking 'there's no conclusive evidence of contact.

Then I saw the glance and swerve.

Seriously is that not a matter for the police using a car as a weapon even if you are on a track and have signed the 'motorsport is dangerous' blurb?

I'd have kicked his c@#t in. What a prick, that could have been pretty serious

Turns out Higgins is an old codger, not that its's a reason or an excuse for such behaviour.

Wonder how his 64 year old body would have coped with an impact like that?

Was anyone else relieved to hear "Cock!" at the end? That HANS device was worth its weight in gold.

Don't see what all the fuss is about? You are allowed to move once remember?

Seriously if he'd have done that to me I would have chinned the bastard!

Pretty outrageous move.

There's a guy in my series who has been known to try intimidation moves, but that's worse.

That one should have been a ban given it was on a straight. Suspect some post race justice may have been served.

Fair play to the guy for trying to get the handbrake on.

The kindest interpretation of the video is that he was intended to block a move and miscalculated, not collide with the car behind.

But the video makes it look like a deliberate collision. You'd have thought that if nothing else there would have been some serious apologising going on.
