That would be ace, but he also mentions Prodrive. Prodrive built the crazy WRX he did an Isle of Man lap in last year, so I would guess some sort of record attempt again.

Not sure if the links will work but we have a livery design for Maximum:

Problem for Tom Chilton. A tweak to the WTCC calendar has resulted in a clash between his dual BTCC/WTCC campaigns this year...

Would imagine he'll sit out the BTCC round then; no disrespect to PMR, but he will most likely have a better chance of competing for the WTCC title than the BTCC title.

Dan Welch's latest tweet:
" Busy times ahead! 3 tracks next week " That must include media day at Donington - likely he would be there anyway but I would absolutely love to see him get that BMR drive. Though I doubt that will happen, it'll be interesting to see what progess he can make this year and hopefully Welch Motorsport will return as the 2 car team they want in 2018. |

Why must it include Donington? If anything, it's unlikely to include Donington. And if he's not driving this season, why would he be at the press day?

He was at the BTCC stand at ASI so he's making it clear he wants to stay with the BTCC. I know he won't get the drive and he is driving the Porsche, I was just stating how good it would be if he did. |

Hunter wouldn't be a bad choose, he had the speed last season, just not the luck

Can it be someone like Alain Menu back with BMR? Or someone from the WTCC since there is no clash this year. Or is the sport trying to get someone from Britain or Ireland in that car no matter what? Would make sense as it still is a local championship.

BMR are trying to get a driver with budget into the car. The more the better. The seat will go to the driver who can bring the most. (And it will be Mark Howard).

Is it just me, i really don't see anything in Hunter Abbot at all, the very definition of average at best.

But, like others have been saying, why is it assumed that Howard has a large budget simply because he's less talented? He struggled with payments to BKR last season, and whilst it is not impossible that this has changed for this year, it is not a given.
