The STCC-BTCC mutual homologation agreement BTW means it's been allowed to run an LPG Turbo in BTCC since 2009. Last edited by stedevil; 24 Mar 2010 at 09:08. |

Unfortunatly I wasn't there yesterday. So didn't get any times. It was more about getting the car prepared for next week and sorting out any little niggles. We had another miss fire appear which wasn't rectified till late afternoon so we didn't get many laps in.
The car was was amoungst the slowest but its what we were expecting as we didn't have the gearing in the box for Brands. We went to fit them Monday and they had sent the wrong ones! Ben |

any one else think the sunshine cars look a little to much like last years airwaves bmws?
also preferred last years Team Aon livery and seems odd to me that after working hard to overcome engine trouble and finally getting it right at the brands finale they've now switched to lpg? |

It's good marketing value for Arena who run the cars. Especially as Aon are rumoured to be spending less because of their impending sponsorship of Manchester United.

It would be odd, except TOC has brought Calor sponsorship with him which presumably prompted the switch. Add the fact that they have dispensation to run a turbo, and they won't be having any power issues this year, except ones caused by TOCA turning the boost levels down when the other teams complain...

Did you hear that from someone in the space industry or on the net?

As always, brilliant stuff Ben. It really feels like we're part of the team here. The Golf looked fantastic out there.

Aon are connected with Tom Chilton's dad so I wouldn't worry about that. The BTCC funding is an absolute drop in the ocean compared to the United deal too.

I know that they are. But there were a few murmurs towards the end of last season about Aon possibly reducing their financial input slightly.

Some dreadful liveries out there this year as highlighted, Chevy is the most impressive as well as Tom Boardman's. |

I thought Boardmans was pretty awful - looks like he's just driven through a big pile of stickers. Jordans car looks the best along with the Chevy, Motorbase looks terrible at the moment and WSR can't be running with that livery. I'd expect a few changes before Thruxton.

Yep, lack of sponsors for WSR in particular looks bad.
