That and having only about 45 minutes running on a rather wet track in practice. So running in the dry on Sunday would have been a first .

It seems to me that there are a number of seats that have no continuity expected (perhaps all of them?) and that arrangements are made on a race by race basis.

When interviewed Duncan Tappy certainly seemed to be suggesting that he expected that he could be back in the car (or a car) later in the series.

I suspect that Scott Mansell's drive was just a one off, possibly for local reasons that are obscure?
