Round-up: Production sprint results changed...

The finishing order of Sunday's BTC Production sprint race at Oulton Park was turned on its head when race winner Roger Moen and second placed Gavin Pyper were both given 10sec penalties

Both were penalised for using over-aggressive driving tactics during the race, in which they finished at the head of the field. That gave Moen's HTML team mate Simon Harrison (Peugeot 306) the victory, ahead of James Kaye (Honda Accord), Moen (Peugeot 306), Gareth Howell (Ford Focus) and Pyper (Alfa Romeo 156).

The Mondello Park round of the BTCC has been given the thumbs-up by series boss Richard West for the championship's foray to the Emerald Isle on June 16/17. "Whilst there are still a specific number of tasks to be completed, the stage is set for a great weekend of competitive racing and traditional Irish hospitality," said West. "I shall be visiting Mondello again on June 6 when I am confident the finishing touches will have been completed."

The second ABG Motorsport Lexus IS200 won't appear in the BTCC until Donington Park on July 1 at the earliest. Brazilian Thomas Erdos will drive the car as planned when it is ready to race.
