Caparo's on hold indefinitely, because of lack of finance unsurprisingly. They hope to get out later in the season.
Triple Eight are involved in F3 with Teamcraft though. |

i cant believe a company like 888 who have had huge success are having trouble getting sponsors etc, and funding.

true, but you would think manufacturers would be jumping at the chance of having a team like that behind them but it seems 888 as it was when it was VXRacing is no more and is a much smaller operation now which is huge a shame

If they are to announce another BTCC driver, I expect it to be another youngster. Maybe with some touring car experience?? I cannot see it being either Giovanardi or Turkington. And don't forget, they have mentioned they are looking at going into F3 so this Dean Smith maybe for that team? He has F3 experience.. Hopefully we will know more at Thruxton.. |

Funny, the second Lada based April fools I've seen today, wondered which site copied which, or was artistic licence used!
Edit: Of course I could have hovered over your Autosport link first....doh!!! |

To be fair those Lada's just sitting around doing nothing...all it needs is someone enterprising

Jonny tried to get back into Motorbase, but that was two, maybe three months ago.. Whats to say he doesn't NOW have the money to go racing? Phil Glew didn't have enough money for Motorbase... He's at 888 Now! Times change, so do circumstances.. Who knows???? |

I wonder how much Giovanardi would charge for a one-off, one-round appearance... |

Giovanardi does make logical sense in that he doesn't need any testing in a car he already knows, so my punt is that its him or as an outside bet Turkington. Hopefully Gio he can venture down the pit lane and have a word with Dave Pinkney..."what the hell have you done to my car painting it in that awful livery" !! As for the Mansell/Turkington Lada story I was delighted...until I realised the day..... |
