This comment interests me - what leads you to say that the engine is cheaper? Cheaper than what?

I understood that they are running engines from Swindon this year, due to a contractual issue with Mountune? If they are also cheaper, perhaps that is all they can afford?

The first half of R3 was the real telling point in my eyes - all weekend Sutton was further up the field than either JP, and this could be attributed to Qualifying. However, when Sutton had to start from the back in R3, he was still able to make significant places through the field, something not really seen from the other cars.

The Subaru is capable of getting good results still, but seemingly not in the hands of a JP?
