GOING, going, gone was the result of contact between Guernsey driver John George and his GoMobile teammate Paul O’Neill at this weekend’s British Touring Car Championship at Donington Park.

The incident happened in the third race of the day at the Old Hairpin Corner with the cars flat out in fifth gear at over 100mph.

‘I’m not really sure what Paul had in mind,’ said George.

‘I was running up in seventh place at the time so looking for a great finish for the day when suddenly Paul took a lunge into the corner and sent me off into the grass.’
