It's not a new car, just new bodywork. They haven't run the same car for 7 years, this one was new in 2015.

Speedworks had to do a lot of work to the original demo car for 2013 as it hadn't been touched since 2010.

Indeed they do, fresh for last season. Now Handy and Speedworks are working alone, it will be compelling to see who does the best.

Not at all surprised, but good to see! I'm sure there were a few in the grid that were hoping this combo wouldn't link up again.

I believe it's just Jackson missing the eSpares.

Saw that too about Colin keeping the same engineer, which is good, as the right engineer is key to getting the best out of the driver

His own twitter bio reads:

'BTCC Driver - Ford Focus sponsored by E Spares, Volvo Trucks, Mountune, Silverstone Auctions, DUO, IKO, Shredded Wheat.'

It appears that they have been developing the livery, and sometimes the 'Duo' logos took the place of the e-spares.
The latest shots seem to have both now in place on the front corners.

Has it been confirmed that this is the final livery yet? It still looks a bit unfinished to my eyes. I've also noticed a degree of variation between the three cars during testing, one appears to have more black vinyl below the grill. You'd have it just looks a bit messy and not as professional as when they ran the three airwaves cars or WSR's three eBay cars.

As an aside, there's been a noticeable lack of Subarus anywhere, you'd have thought they'd be testing left right and centre!

Perhaps - with iko as a sponsor - we will see continued variations through the season, demonstrating the printing capabilities?
