Frankly I have no idea; what Palmer is charging and what is trousered are very much unknown.
It's the lack of reliability that bugs me; did Palmer get these Alfas as second hand used and abused and do little more than put stickers on them?
In theory any one of us could hand VW/Pug etc. £100 odd K and receive a shiny new factory fresh TCR spec racer. A lad and dad could potentially buy and run one from a domestic lockup - I'm not saying that'd be competitive mind you! - so how come a professional (maybe that should be in quotes) race team can't even get a car to a flag?
