Young Driver Gets Two Year Racing Ban For Deliberately Crashing Into Rival
A British racing driver has been banned from motorsport for two years after deliberately crashing into a rival during the third MSA Formula race at Silverstone in September.
Dan Ticktum dropped to the back of the pack on the opening lap after contact with Ricky Collard. The 16-year-old then passed 10 cars under the Safety Car to catch up and crash into Collard.
He was excluded from the meeting and handed six more penalty points, boosting his tally to 12, which resulted in a three-month ban. This has been absorbed into the new ban given to him after a meeting of the Motor Sports Council National Court.
Court chairman Guy Spollon said Ticktum passed 13 yellow flags, four double-yellow flags, two white flags and 15 Safety Car boards to pass other cars and catch Collard.
His two-year ban is effective from the 27 September 2015, with the second 12-month stint being suspended “on the condition there are no further offences”. The punishment means he is not allowed to hold a UK or international racing license.

Sabotage
Wow, I’m trying everything to get into the Motorsport and start a career, then there is this little assh*le that throws away an opportunity like this. No words
Considering some of the 16 year olds I’ve met, I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often with these Young drivers. Solid way to end any chance of a motorsports career
Is somewhere a video of the accident?
This kid needs to learn to race like an adult. If he wants to play bumper cars then he should go to an amusement park. Such an immature act that tarnishes our beautiful sport.
What a way to throw away an entire career.
He must have really Ticktum off…
Maldonado’s son ?!
