Well done Warren on adding to the series

Alfisti · 8 Jun 2018, 08:04 (Ref:3827608)

Given the widely rumoured perilous state of BMRs finances, one wonders which tree the money for the Honda has grown on.

Nevertheless it's good news for the series and quite possibly Mr Scotts racing talent has found a level where he will be competitive; he sadly struggled in BTCC - where the competition is admittedly tough.

VIVA GT · 8 Jun 2018, 08:56 (Ref:3827623)

It may also be a sign of the direction the team is planning to go in the future? From the rumours circulating on here and elsewhere, BMR appear to be have a dire financial shortfall to compete properly in The BTCC, TCR UK should be a far cheaper alternative...

I saw the Ex-Motorbase Golf testing at Snetterton today. Didn't get to see who was on driving duties but running as car #27 as pictured before.

Alfisti · 8 Jun 2018, 19:12 (Ref:3827720)

Hmmm... so Scotts Honda and now the ex-Motorbase Golf too possibly.

It is growing 😀

More info could be found here earlier in the week - would have been Taylor's former Civic:

2nd Hyundai from Essex & Kent Motorsports at Castle Combe.

**BertMk2** · 2 Jul 2018, 15:19 (Ref:3834317)

Essex and Kent are apparently going to enter a second Hyundai from Castle Combe onwards - good to see another car joining the grid.

Even the simplest task can be overwhelming at time.

Didn't take long did it?

Sodemo · 3 Jul 2018, 08:50 (Ref:3834409)

Deals as watertight as a colander.

ahobson98 · 3 Jul 2018, 11:10 (Ref:3834424)

The deal hasn't fallen through, they just haven't managed to get another car in time for Combe. It will be out for the rest of the season as I understand.

That's the old car he ran at the start of the year. I thought BMR were going to run that as their second car, although maybe the money didn't arrive.

Oh, im sorry, i didn't realise.

Dan Lloyd is NOT on pole for race 1 tomorrow. Taylor beat him by .003, slightly surprised Kent isnt closer id have thought Castle Combe would suit the Hyundai perfectly.

Also whats the logic for race 2 qualifying? The slower you go the higher up the grid you get? Dan Lloyds time for the 2nd grid is 2 seconds slower than his fastest so he gets to start 2nd, that just looks stupid.

Strong words from Linesy about the Backman's. Down to seven cars for the remainder of the race

7 from 7 for Lloyd!

medius · 15 Jul 2018, 12:47 (Ref:3836785)

The Derek Palmer Engineering embarrassing nightmare continues.

Of which 5 actually finished...

Really not very exiting when Dan seems to be the only one overtaking!

Never mind, penalty drops him to 2nd...

tux · 15 Jul 2018, 14:38 (Ref:3836797)

8 cars for race 2, probably 7 when the Alfa breaks down again.

tux · 15 Jul 2018, 15:13 (Ref:3836801)

I think Lines will be eating a large slice of humble pie...

Amazed that they restarted the race with the barrier in that state.

Finlay Crocker is not pleased with driving stanards. Who would dare invest £100k in a car to potentially be written off within 50kms?

Unfortunately somebody decided that again they would use the car in front as a brake to slow down at the corner and play on the ‘oh it’s the first lap melee/racing incident’ ******** which is failing now to cut it with me I’m afraid,” said Finlay.

“We’re all guilty of driving badly you could say from time to time, but when it happens three or four rounds on the trot with the same person it starts to get a little bit tedious.

“It’s about time that something was done about it. Unfortunately I’m now in a situation where I’ve got a car that more probably than possibly going to need a re-shell, so I’m not best pleased and I won’t be out in the second race.”
