It's reported that Louise Aitken-Walker will have a proper circuit car by the Grand Prix support race.
From memory, Cleland had a new car mid-season, his original then being taken over by Louise. The ex-rally car she started the year with became the third car for Jeremy Rossiter
Please note that the Karl Jones RS500 at some early season stage is entered as Lee Asquith Motorsport. Vic Lee, his co-driver from Donington, entering the BTCC?

I think Lee became a partner in the Asquith team for a while, before going off to set up his own operation for 1990
