Priaulx's hopes of another World Touring Car title took

Guernsey's reigning World Touring Car champion Andy Priaulx has seen his title hopes take a severe dent after Sunday's races at Monza.

Despite a third-placed finish in race one, Priaulx dropped out of the second race in the opening laps.

With just two meetings left and 40 points to play for, Priaulx needs a strong finish if he is to retain his World Touring Car title.
