That and get back on subject. Wonder who will get the last Motorbase seat if it turns out not to be Flash?

I (and others) voiced an opinion on it's value to the series. Are we really suggesting that posts can only make positive remarks about the cars?

If people feel that a car is being unfairly critiqued, perhaps a reasoned counter argument would be in order - rather than just throwing out an accusation of bashing?

Well, the HMS Alfa business felt like bashing but I obviously misinterpreted the whole thing, I have a tendency to do that as a consequence of my Autism.

As for Caine, I only said he's never done a full season and it would be nice if he did, providing he gets a seat. After all, the 3rd Motorbase seat and the Simpson Civic have been really shrouded in mystery lately and both have been linked to the Shedden rumours, if said rumours are true then Flash can only have one of those seats so who would get the other I just wondered?

I agree, if Caine got a seat I'd hope it was a full season drive.

Of the unconfirmed seats so far though, I'm informed that the drivers are bringing a higher profile or funding than Caine would have.

What I'd like to see happen, TD buy back the Simpson Civic and TBL, run Shedden in it until they can throw together another FK8.

It could also mean that if Neal isn't fit for the start of the season then Shedden could go straight into the FK8. I wouldn't be surprised if Shedden was already on stand-by for Neal.

Say, that's true, the drivers seem to be jinxed at the moment. Neal, Bushell, OJ and can't remember who else right off the bat. Hopefully, we'll get another newbie before Media Day, it's hard to believe the only newcomer so far is For all.

Just happened to notice that Matt Simpson has renamed his Instagram to Ben Simpson. This could indicate that he's not racing this year and instead focusing on his sons karting.

So true about the Alfa. The livery just didn't flatter it. A stunning red and white number would go down a treat.

Honda aren't going to run their former champion in an old car There's 7 weeks until the start of the season, more than enough time to build a new car. Though I suspect if that is there plan, the car is / would be (delete as appropriate) almost finished already by now.

Caine at Motorbase would be a logical choice. Has he got the funding to do the full season though?

Who for - Caine or Motorbase?

Caine has had more success with GT's, and Motorbase have had more success with other drivers.

Being a BMW ambassador doesn't change things. He drove a Vauxhall whilst still being a BMW ambassador.

That's true. Unlikely it may be but ExcelR8 could use his experience since they have a new car to develop.
