I watching the Brands on my BTCC season review DVD last night and Hunter was so unlucky in the first race, was running well, then got clipped by Matt Neal who was trying to pass someone and then got harpooned by AJ

Looks like people are struggling to get the funds for the 4th Subaru seat, latest rumour is Ash Hand for half a season!

Would TOCA accept an entry which the team openly admitted was only going to be for half the season?

Would like to see Speedworks expand to a 2 car team again given the success they've had since signing Ingram. By this point I think we've got at least 10 theories for that last seat, so it better not be as underwhelming as Howard after all this! |

they could sign a driver for half a season and if they don't find another for the other half Scott could drive himself again

Last minute 'works' Toyota deal with Speedworks! Probably clutching at straws with that one... (anyway do they still have a spare car?)

I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of official support for Speedworks indeed, even I'm getting sponsored Facebook content from Toyota UK featuring the 2017 Speedworks Avensis now...

Someone heavily involved with Speedworks as a sponsor I believe has said it isn't happening. Toyota are using it as publicity, and it works in their favour too as potential sponsors could see it. Win win.

Surely though the issue is funds. It sometimes takes months of negotiation for a team to find a sponsor yet you are expecting someone with a full-season budget to just turn up at the drop of a hat. There are many drivers and team mangers who can only dream things are that simple. |

BKR were originally going to run in the stillborn BTEC series, so already drivers and (smaller) budget in place. They weren't starting from scratch.

Looks like a half season driver at BMR. Warren Scott in the car for the other races.

Fair enough, always figured it was last minute as neither Smith or Howard had been attached to BTEC prior to them joining the BTCC.
