HMS Racing which, of course, stands for Handy Motorsport Racing. Just like BMR Racing in Buntingford Motor Racing Racing.

Managed to get a read of the autosport article on Honda, Jackson, Cammish and Motorbase, nothing new in it outside of the honda and motorbase press releases, glad I didn't pay to subscribe to the site for that!

If the cars look good and the racing is compelling, does it matter how professional sounding the name above the garage shutter is?

'M Team Shell Racing with Listerine' - 1992 'BMW Finance Racing with Mobil 1' - 1988 'VMW Motors - Team Esso Uniflo' - 1974 and the best of all time surely - 'CSH Racing with Esso and the Daily Mirror' - 1981 |

Considering they have been out testing, have new cars, drivers and sponsors to get out there, they have a new driver mystery to keep fans wanting more, and should be on their way to Spain about now, hasnt the @motorbase twitter been very quiet this week compared to normal?
Wonder if this storm is still circling, with Jackson apparently not being interested in the last remaining AMD drive, this radio silence from the motorbase account tells me this isnt over. My guess is that there has been a legal challenge from camp Jackson, he wont get the drive but if theres been a falling out to this extent that hes not on the grid, im sure he will want to make things as difficult as possible for old pal Bartrum |

Tho it wouldnt surprise me if this has been taken as a legal challenge, im sure we have had similar in F1 over the years. You dont have a contract to drive, get told i dont want you in the team and just say "ok" ... do you?? Last edited by btccbloke; 24 Feb 2018 at 11:24. |

Maybe motorbase didn't want to tweet to the world that they were shaking the cars down, not everything has to be broadcast to the world and it saves them having to read endless tweets about 3rd drivers and why did you sack Mat. Plus if they were going to running the new driver they would be doing it Spain where there's no prying eyes

I hope Motorbase find a driver soon, they can't wait forever, there's a seat that needs filling

Exactly; they can announce whatever it is they want to announce whenever suits them. Subject to it being no later than media day. I'm told they signed someone before parting with Jackson; I am not party to who it is though!

Technically they don't have to decide by Media Day. They have until first Free Practice at Brands Hatch.

Not a fan of the new aero on the Hard vw cc looks a mess surely aero should be all about smooth lines and not jagged lines like on them side skirts?
