Tockwith done for the remainder of the ELMS season. Per Daily Sports Car:

Quote:
Tockwith Motorsport will play no further part in the 2017 European Le Mans Series after team principal Simon Moore and the Hanson family agreed to part ways.

The Hanson family is set to move the Asian Le Mans Series title-winning Ligier JS P3 and the team’s 2017 ELMS, Le Mans 24 Hours and WEC contesting Ligier JS P217 Gibson from Tockwith’s Yorkshire base to Ligier in France, where a test programme will be run for Phil Hanson.

There are currently no plans for the cars to race for the remainder of the 2017 season.

The catalyst for the cessation of the programme appears, bizarrely, to have been the filming at Tockwith’s premises of a promotional video for ex-X-Factor contestant ‘Honey G’ which featured the Hansons’ car without their consent.
