After seeking advice from the series'
official medical officer Dr Paul Trafford, Honda driver James Thompson has had to withdraw from this weekend's two rounds of the British Touring Car Championship.
Thompson, who suffered concussion after his dramatic crash at Brands, 2 weeks ago has been complaining of headaches.
Following a consultation with Dr Trafford, Team Honda decided to err on the side of caution and withdraw James from the race weekend, despite his having set a fastest early in the practice session.
Dutchman Peter kox will replace Thompson for this weekend but James is expected to be back in harness for the next meeting at Thruxton.
Sorry about the title guys, I couldn't resist it! ;)
