embarassingly for the clios, the barc-run series for older cars has a grid almost double the size. |

I wouldn’t say it’s embarrassing, the BARC Clio championship is in no way top level, the Clio Cup is. The budgets are significantly different, I ran a car in a BARC championship, I’ve got no hope of running one in the Clio Cup.

i've got a fairly good knowledge of both, and i'd still say it is. i can only assume that toes might have been trodden on if they'd done something cool to mitigate the inevitable small grid and gone for a celebration year by opening up the grid to older versions of the clios or something. have to applaud them for the parts credit idea though, that'll make a difference to some competitors and the quality is still there.

Speedworks teasing a "big announcement" tomorrow at 10am. I'm thinking a surprise second Corolla for a relatively well-known name from outside of touring cars.

Given Rob Austin is now working with Speedworks, I'd say he'd have his foot in the door for a 2nd Corolla. |

Given Microsoft are one of Toyotas WRC sponsors, perhaps Toyota GB have them signed up as well

Can’t wait to see the new livery, but I love those retro liveries on there

So you’ll be able to get your breakfast at the Motorbase tent and your lunch at the Speedworks one, perfect.

It’s not a bad livery at all, looks fairly professional. Surprised at the relative lack of Toyota decals though...

Wow, that's an awful livery. It's just a mess with no finesse sort of thing. But I rather take an ugly livery than no livery/Corolla at all.

Tim Harvey and David Bartrum will be hanging around the Speedworks garage a lot this year, won't they?

I think performances might be a bit flaky to begin with, but once they get the car sorted and if it doesn't run out of puff, they'll be on a (sausage) roll going into the tail end of the season. Definitely a choux in for the 2020 title.
