The original post didn't but Power Maxed themselves shared the post and referred to it as "Chassis #3" |

If you recall - back when they announced Jackson as being in the team - their official statement was: 'Mat Jackson completes Team Shredded Wheat Racing with Gallagher line-up for 2018 campaign [...] Buoyed by a switch to the new Ford Focus RS machinery for the season ahead, the Kent-based outfit is targeting championship title success with a rejuvenated two-car effort and formidable new driver line-up.' Then when they announced Tordoff's signing, they didn't say it was a three-car effort - just that he was piloting one of their three cars. So the third might be used as a spare. And finally, in the Jackson departure release - they only mention a replacement for Jackson during testing, not to race in the championship. |

Jackson - 'the Kent-based outfit is targeting championship title success with a rejuvenated two-car effort' Tordoff - 'Sam Tordoff's return to the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship as part of the Kent-based outfit's 2018 title assault' If the 'Kent-based outfit' is Motorbase, then they have only confirmed a two-car entry. The Tordoff release only refers to one team, which has three cars. I understand there is a difference between the team, and the banner with which a team runs under. But is it confirmed that their will be three cars racing out of the Motorbase stable this season? |

If Motorbase replace Mat Jackson with one of their drivers from last yearI hope it's Rory Butcher. He did a fair job last year without much preparation, plus it keeps the Knockhill connection in The BTCC.
Martin Depper seems a very nice guy, plus he obviously brought some money into the team but he couldn't really be accused of worrying the cars at the front... |

“I’m still very excited about the season ahead,” concluded the team boss. “We have a fantastic line-up with WTCC Independents’ champion Tom Chilton and returning BTCC star Sam Tordoff piloting our new Focus RS. Our pre-season testing programme starts very soon and we will announce Mat’s replacement in due course.” |

I'm not saying that they won't be running three cars, but their initial plans were for a 2-car entry and nothing has confirmed a change in this plan. |

But wait, Shredded Wheat will put sponsorship on two cars so it means that Motorbase will field three cars.

Who has said Chilton or Tordoff won’t be able to make testing? Tordoff is being run as Team GardX, with Motorbase providing the team personnel and equipment.
The same happened last year with Ciceley racing and Laser Tools Racing. Apart from the name of the entry list it is a 3 car Motorbase team. |
