How the BTCC is tackling drivers who don't pay their bills
The British Touring Car Championship's mid-season break is usually a time of driver movement - and there's often more to the swaps than is apparent on the surface
July can quite often be a busy time for the British Touring Car Championship - even though it is mostly taken up by the series' now-traditional summer break, which allows the category's broadcaster ITV4 time to cover the Tour de France cycle race.
The reason it is busy is exactly because of the break (although it does incorporate the traditional in-season official two-day Dunlop tyre test at Snetterton). Teams get a chance to thoroughly overhaul their cars, but it is not just the machinery that can come under the spotlight.
