I guess that the last couple of rounds clashing are not a major problem. There were 3 different drivers in the "lead" Civic last season, so I suppose the team might not mind chopping and changing if necessary.

I'm not sure if i'd want to see herbert in the 2nd honda if he's going to miss the last 2 rounds to be honest. There's so many drivers without a seat surely it'd be better to get them in for the whole season?!?

No matter what you think of Neil's driving he's good enough to be Dynamic's lead driver, though.

The blog really is fantastic. A lot of work has been put into that car, and it looks really impressive. Thanks for showing us exactly how you've done it, certainly makes us fans feel more connected to the sport. I'm definitely going to be rooting for you guys.

Thanks everyone and glad you are enjoying the blog. It is gaining alot of interest on our site and also views on a couple of other forums I have posted the blog on with higher res pics have gone through the roof!
We really have transformed the car and made it our own. Just got to see how it performs on track now. Are you liking our new front bumper design? We think it looks amazing! Still needs afew finishing touches, like the grilles etc. It was quite amusing reading on various websites across the web about how they thought it was ugly, when we knew all along it was never going to turn up at the BTCC looking how it arrived. Hopefully they will change their minds now All being well there should be some more updates tomorrow. p.s we will be at Knockhill too! |

Another fan of the blog here, keep up the great work Ben & the others. It's involving enthusiasts like this that builds up a fanbase, well done!
I love the new frontbumper and can't wait to see it with all the bits in place. What's the reason behind the shape of the fender extensions by the way? I see the car has similar extensions to the Leon's and the STCC Audi A4's, with the backside of extension open instead of going all around it like for example the BMW's or the Ladas. Is this to prevent air from building up inside the fender? |

How is the grid looking? "Half full" or "half empty"?
