Ban them, since they entered into motor sport they have caused nothing but trouble. Except for the good old days when their TTs where behind the Astras in DTM. Back then things were OK.

Where is the spirit of DTM. Where are the days of wheel to wheel driving and lots of pushing and bumping.

To have to order a crash, oh the humanity!
