Yes I do remember the original plan was for Eurotech to run it independently with assistance from 888

Yes Pirtek have been involved with MJ & AJ for quite a wile, and I am sure both the family and Pirtek have benefited greatly from the association.
In the past some have criticised Jack Goff and others for a 'sticker bomb' approach to BTCC sponsorship, but whereas having loads of smaller sponsors may not make the car look so pretty losing one or two 'names' maybe inconvenient but not a disaster. When you have one main sponsor however, losing them has a far more devastating effect. (I suppose it's the same as being in business & having lots of customers instead of just one major contract). |

I guess he means he has a budget that will get him a seat on the grid, but not enough for a seat with a team who have a championship contender car.

So I guess that rules team HARD out of the equation

Wonder what cars Bert is buying for next year to paint grey? Shiny new season = shiny new cars... |

Who is actually in charge of BTC nowadays? When Dudman bought the team he said he'd bought it outright, yet Bert said it was a 50/50 deal with himself

Be a shame if Jordan isn't on the grid next season but that seems to be the way it's going.
Does anyone know the story behind Team Hard being called Team Hard? It's always struck me as a slightly childish name. A bit like being called Team My Dad Is Bigger Than Your Dad |

Its strange as there was a quote a while back from Dick Bennetts saying that one day he hoped to have all 3 cars decked out in BMW colours, almost indicating a slight annoyance that one car was in Pirtek colours.

The next few months are likely to see a big push from BMW UK in relation to their 330e - which fits in well with the BTCC moving to hybrid.

I think everything could be doable if there is a proper opportunity. I mean, he's not tied to him for a lifetime and I can imagine if Sutton was able (financially) to get WSR seat he would do it. Another thing is - will BMR be on the grid in 2020? And if so, will they still be a Subaru factory team?
