Eurotech Racing’s Andrew Jordan has been taken to hospital for precautionary checks after his accident in the first free practice session at Snetterton.

The reigning champion lost control of his Honda Civic exiting Riches and hit the barrier, causing damage to the rear of the car.

As a result of the checks, Jordan will miss second practice, which starts at 12:00 BST, and will be assessed again before qualifying to decide whether he is fit to drive.

Jordan’s team said the car was fixable in time for second practice.
