I hope Lloyd manages to complete the season, it would be a shame if he was left on the sidelines again

He'll probably still win the title if not...

Lloyd confirmed back in BTCC for Norlin. Whether he has time and funding to continue in TCR too hasn't been announced.

Well we all said he should be in the BTCC again - didn't think it would happen this quickly though!

Apparently this won't have any effect on his TCR UK campaign. Though he'd still win it even if he did stop...

James Nash has TCR experience so maybe he'll be a driver to look out for in the future.

Be interesting to see if he has the funding to do both series, as he always seems to be struggling on that front

Re the Motorbase Golf, From the pictures posted on Facebook today, it looks like it has a new home at Maximum Motorsport.

Given the widely rumoured perilous state of BMRs finances, one wonders which tree the money for the Honda has grown on.

Nevertheless it's good news for the series and quite possibly Mr Scotts racing talent has found a level where he will be competitive; he sadly struggled in BTCC - where the competition is admittedly tough.

It may also be a sign of the direction the team is planning to go in the future? From the rumours circulating on here and elsewhere, BMR appear to be have a dire financial shortfall to compete properly in The BTCC, TCR UK should be a far cheaper alternative...

Essex and Kent are apparently going to enter a second Hyundai from Castle Combe onwards - good to see another car joining the grid.

The deal hasn't fallen through, they just haven't managed to get another car in time for Combe. It will be out for the rest of the season as I understand.

Oh, im sorry, i didn't realise.

Dan Lloyd is NOT on pole for race 1 tomorrow. Taylor beat him by .003, slightly surprised Kent isnt closer id have thought Castle Combe would suit the Hyundai perfectly.

http://www.tsl-timing.com/event/182830/session/qu1tcr

Also whats the logic for race 2 qualifying? The slower you go the higher up the grid you get? Dan Lloyds time for the 2nd grid is 2 seconds slower than his fastest so he gets to start 2nd, that just looks stupid.

Really not very exiting when Dan seems to be the only one overtaking!
