I think this might be my first even non-BTCC post ever but this is huge in British motorsport.
10 times truck racing champ Ryan Smith has withdrawn from the series after having his license suspended.
Anyone have a clue what happened??

Run For Your Lives… To Knebworth!
Iron Maiden will return to the UK next year for an enormous outdoor headline performance at the legendary Knebworth Park.
Sat 11th July 2026 – Knebworth, UK
Featuring a hand-picked bill of special guests, this will not just be a concert but an Iron Maiden curated weekend event with the biggest Eddie’s Dive Bar ever, various fun experiences currently being worked on, Maiden-themed food and other stands, plus much more besides including their very own take on the historic Knebworth Fayre!
The specially invited supporting line up is:
The Darkness
The HU
Airbourne
The Almighty
Rod comments, “We knew that we had to bring the Run For Your Lives show back to the UK again next summer as there was such a phenomenal demand for tickets but we wanted to do something a bit different to try and top the show at London Stadium!
Well, we think that Knebworth is the solution - we have history there with our headline appearances at Sonisphere some years ago and this time we will be taking over the whole of the grounds ourselves and turning it into as much of a ‘Maiden World’ as we can for all our fans to enjoy!
Our Eddie’s Dive Bars have proved immensely popular on this current tour so our intention is to create our biggest one yet which will also be open on the Friday. There will be a full programme of Maiden-themed entertainment there that night, which we expect to include some live music and DJs along with other attractions and entertainment we are currently working on.
So we hope you will join us as we continue to celebrate five decades of Iron Maiden back in the UK.
It’s going to be one for the history books…in a really historic venue!”
Tickets go on sale 10am on Sat Sept 27.
Proceedings will kick off on Friday 10th July from mid-afternoon for fans who buy camping tickets, with entertainment, food, drink & meeting up facilities open to enjoy outside the main arena.
Camping tickets are separate to the event tickets and available to purchase in parallel. However please note, the number of camping tickets are strictly limited and expected to sell-out quickly.

The Run For Your Lives World Tour returns to Europe and beyond in 2026!
Iron Maiden have announced the first shows of their very busy schedule for 2026, starting with a summer return to Europe to predominantly play festivals and also stadiums in countries and regions not visited in 2025. Further dates for the rest of the world will be announced later.
The initial European dates are listed below, with more festival appearances to be announced in due course. It’s a busy year so following this there will be no Maiden shows in 2027.
A special UK headline show will take place on July 11th 2026 - more details will be revealed for this over the coming days.
The band will also to return to Paris so that our Run For Your Lives show can be filmed for our fans and for posterity! We chose an indoor stadium to see the best of the production and also a great audience which we know Paris is and always has been for us. It was great to see fans embrace the request to limit phone use on the recent tour, creating a powerful atmosphere that elevated every show. For 2026, the band asks audiences to continue this approach, ensuring concerts are experienced fully in the moment.
In Paris only, general admission tickets (standing) will be entirely phone-free with Yondr’s secure pouch system, guaranteeing the best possible environment for both fans and filming. More information on this can be found on https://t.co/sAw8fetR1j.
Rest assured we will be visiting as many of you as possible next year, before the band take a well-earned break from the road in 2027.
