Rob Collard

Robert Collard (born 1st October, 1968 in Frimley, Surrey) is a British racing driver best known for his appearances in the British Touring Car Championship.

Racing Career
In 2001, Collard made his BTCC debut in a self-run ex-works Ford Mondeo. Collard scored several points in what was at that point a very competitive car - his best results being a pair of fifth place finishes. Collard finished his maiden season in 12th overall.

Collard returned in 2002 with the Mondeo but had his season cut short at Snetterton when he had a season-ending shunt in the second race - destroying the car. Collard considered racing for another team but opted to wait for the next season.

2003 saw Collard return with a Vauxhall Astra Coupé - which had been the class of the field for the past two years.
