His first season at PMR was a positive after the disastrous final season at PMR, and I know he felt revived there, but pointed out at the end of the season that the car wasn't quite there and the team needed to build their own engine to get it challenging. Obviously, they couldn't make that happen, but if they could, that would have been a decent set-up for him.
But as I said in another thread, if the BTC Honda had a Honda engine this year, I believe that it would have been Cook's year, and Plato wouldn't have been too far behind him either, so I think it would be far more fitting for him to have a last crack at it in a properly sorted BTC Honda, rather than a pretty half-baked one, given the engine situation and the somewhat "experimental" nature of the Hybrid situation this year.
At least they should (if they haven't already, I've not checked) win the Independents team title.
