Yes. But not for Moffat. They were.... and still are available for a paying arrive and drive customer.

Stewart Lines posted a lot of team names as potential entries. That was really just people who might have a car available for the right price. Didn't mean that any or all of them were actively looking to enter.

The post I refer to was by the Moffats themselves, seem to think Aiden was posting pics of them in a workshop saying they were prepping them for TCT asking people to contact them for drives and talking up how competitive they would be, it was not Stewart Lines, tho I accept he did later add this to his wishlist of entries

The Infinity has never run with RML sub frames, only the original GPRM parts, and arguably never run by a proper team. Think of it as a blank sheet of paper. Whereas with the Merc, they've done everything they can do, there's little or no further improvements to be had.
Defo the Infiniti was a Mickey Mouse team, with Mickey Mouse budget. With a decent engineer and driver and some money there's no reason it couldn't be competitive. And the Merc is past its peak of the odd win here and there...

Has there been any news on the hybrid tech that is supposed to be coming in at some point in the future?

From the article that Grahame linked to:

I don't know of any hybrid road cars with proper manual boxes, they are all full or partial autos. Cue someone about to educate us otherwise...
