VX do the job - Thompson races at Knockhill.
It's taken a lot of hard work overnight from the VX Racing team but James Thompson will take to the grid for today's BTCC races at Knockhill.
Things didn't look promising for the Vauxhall driver after he was involved in a massive shunt during the qualifying session. The engine on the Astra blew part way round the circuit and, as Thompson was pulling off, he was hit by Matt Neals Honda which had spun on oil dropped by the Vauxhall.

After working late into the night, the team have now repaired the car and Thompson should take to the grid later this morning for the first race of the day. Failure to take part in the meeting could have seen Thompson's title challenge come to a premature end.
However the glorious sunshine from Saturday has gone, to be replaced by light drizzle and fog. An interesting day lies ahead...
