Update after Thruxton: Warren Scott was in trouble twice with the stewards at Thruxton. He hit James Cole in race one and Dan Welch in race two, which saw him reach three strikes overall. He started from the back for the third race.
Rob Austin, meanwhile, was excluded from race two after his collision with Nick Foster that brought out the red flags. Austin’s appeal was rejected. He was also handed a 4-point licence penalty.
Finally, Gordon Shedden was penalised for passing Jack Goff under yellow flags. The two drivers’ positions have been reversed, so Goff gets fifth with Shedden sixth.
According to Touring Car Times there are also incidents involving Matt Neal, Rob Collard, Fabrizio Giovanardi and Mat Jackson under investigation.

Drivers who reached three strikes in 2014
Warren Scott: Brands Hatch - Yellow flag infringements; Thruxton - incidents with James Cole (verbal warning) and Dan Welch (reprimand). Demoted to the back of the grid for the third race at Thruxton.
For 2013 ToCA introduced a new rule to help improve driving standards in the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship. In addition to any punishments handed out for driving standards violations, all punished drivers would receive one ‘strike’.
A ‘strike’ will count every time a driver is warned verbally upwards – so reprimands, fines and racing licence penalties will accrue ‘strikes’ as well. Once the third strike is awarded, the driver will be relegated to the back of the grid at the next race. Drivers will receive this penalty every time they reach three strikes across the course of the season. In 2013, the rule stated drivers would receive a six-place grid penalty but this was increased for 2014.
I also support many of the other low budget teams trying to take the fight to the big boys, so I shall be getting one ordered ASAP 
£15 and I'd buy one!
