AmD Tuning's Ollie Jackson and Goodestone Rac🌞ing's Dan Welch are at odds as to where 💛the fault lies for their spectacular altercation during the second British Touring Car Championship race at Snetterton.

The pair came together during a frenetic opening lap whilst battling towards thꩲe rear end of the midfield pack.

Jackson's Audi S3 careered into the Armco barrier while Welch's Proton inconveniently shuddered to a halt on༺ the middle of the circuit, perilously facing the oncoming traffic.

With nowhere to go, MG's Ashley Sutton ended up sla♍mming into Welch's stricken Proton while Hunter Abbott, Ste💦wart Lines, Mark Howard and Alex Martin were also caught up the melee - all emerged uninjured from the skirmish.

Jackson's Audi 🐎may return to the fray for the final encounter but Welch's Proton Persona bore the brunt of the incident, suffering terminal damage as a result.

Describing the incident Welch said: "I had a good start and the race was going well. The pace we've got at tꩲhe minute is slowly catching on," said Welch.

"I had a good start, got on the inside of Ollie [Jackson] into turn 7 onto the𓄧 back straight and he basically should have conceded the position instead 📖of hanging it on the outside of the corner.

"The car has done its job becau⛦se it's saved me but it's a write off. It's one of those things. He tried to hang onto my rear quarter until he went out wide.

"The car is totalled. I reckon I might have one good corner left on it. I was in the middle of the track and thought 'this is going to hurt'."

Jackson👍 didn't share the same opinion: "I was on the outside, Dan [Welch] leaned against me, pushed me off the track, broke his suspension in the process and collected me, w♈hich sent me across the track.

"We might get the car back out for race three but it's not a dead cert.ꦇ The boys are working absolutely flat out so fingers crossed.

"We suffered suspension and front end d꧟amage but the shells and sub-frames are straight so we're all good 𒈔apart from that."
