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.
Dan Lloyd sort of managed it last year, although the sponsor didn't actually come through with the funds.

So, didn't manage it then. Even I can find a sponsor that won't actually come through with the funds!

Higgins took his Isle of Mann Subaru down a bobsled run. Because, you can!
Incredible. Can't wait for the video.

The HARD lorry is branded TAG Racing.

Proctor and Chilton overalls are fully Power Maxed branded in black and yellow, little Vauxhall branding there!

Looks like just the three cars operating under the Adrian Flux Subaru banner... perhaps there will be a fourth Subaru, but under a different entry name?

It appears that the fourth BMR driver is Josh Price - more at http://www.autosport.com/news/report...th-btcc-subaru - looks like the deal was only done yesterday.

This thread is gonna be red hot today.

Good to see Price get the drive, a young race winner been given the opportunity rather than an old timer with more money than talent.
