Muller wins back runner-up spot

After being disqualified from the British Touring Car Championship Feature race at Silverstone, Yvan Muller has won back his second place

In a decision that came long after all the fans had left Silverstone, the
stewards decided to reinstate Muller after an appeal by his Vauxhall team.

He was disqualified from the race results, the fourth round in the 1999 Auto Trader BTCC, when his Vauxhall Vectra failed the post-race ride-height check.

In another decision, Anthony Reid was excluded from his eighth-place finish
after his Ford Mondeo broke the pit-lane speed limit twice - once when he
came in for his compulsory pit-stop for two new tyres, and again when he
was serving his drive-through penalty for the first offence.
