I've not seen anything confirming it yet. I could put it in with a ? in the next update, although at present I think (in the public domain) it is unknown what car they or BTC will be running.

The Autosport article reads:

'Sources have suggested that recent moves by Motorbase and BTC to develop new-build machinery are unlikely to materialise for the 2023 season, and that they will remain with their respective Ford Focus ST and Honda Civic Type R weaponry for another campaign.'

Just thought it was enough to go from ??? To Focus? But not Focus

Yes - maybe. Probably for the next update, I'll switch BTC and Motorbase to being Civic? and Focus? respectively (unless anything formal is declared in the mean time).

It's always a bit of a judgment call as to how much reliance is placed on 'sources' and non-formal announcements.

Laser Out

That's unexpected, especially with 2 TBL with Aiden

And just two years after their dominant title win. I hope Aiden Moffat finds a new team, I can see him driving a Cupra at HARD, and Dexter Patterson looked like he has potential as well.

The Infiniti will almost certainly be retired now, but hopefully the TBLs will go to other teams like Graves Motorsport or Team Parker Racing, or to add to the likes of Team Dynamics, rather than just back to Alan Gow. Or maybe Team HARD will enter seven Cupras next year.

#Announcement #BTCC #LaserTools #LaserToolsRacing #TouringCars #BritishTouringCars #Motorsport
Link here - https://www.lasertoolsracing.co.uk/b...raws-from-btcc

'Chairman of Laser Tools, Martin Smith commented: “We’ve had a great nine years in the BTCC and I am particularly proud of the 2021 season as winners of the Teams’ Championship and Drivers’ Championship in the same year.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved with the team during our years of competing in the BTCC — it really has been a “team” in the true sense of the word, and everyone involved over the years, in whatever capacity, has my heartfelt thanks. I would also like to thank other partners who have joined us in this success story.

“And of course we must thank Aiden Moffat and the rest of the Moffat family who have offered so much involvement and sheer hard work into this project. We wish them well for the future.

“Now, it’s time for a new challenge, and we have some exciting plans in place for 2023. However, we are open to new ideas and new offers to take the team forward.”'

So - it seems like the Moffat entry has lost the Laser Tools backing.


EDIT: - yes, from Aiden - https://www.facebook.com/Aiden.Moffat.Racing

'Massive thanks for all the support over the years to Laser Tools. Cannot thank them enough for the fantastic journey together. Looking forward to sharing with you guys soon my plans for the 2023 BTCC season'

They may not have to change hands - they belong to Aiden Moffat Racing, not Laser Tools.
