I was at Snett on Sunday, and I saw the Proton and the team after race 1... couple of interesting points:
1) They are using a TOCA engine (don't know if anyone wondered?)
2) There are Proton logos on the wing mirrors and one or two of the WelchMS crew were wearing Proton t-shirts... I know it doesn't mean much but it shows there is perhaps an interest from the said manufacturer...

ALSO, I remember Thorney saying that the Insignia's will not be manufacturer backed this year, but Vauxhall are happy their car's have been chosen... possible interest there too?
