Honestly I don't see Tom sitting around at the back with HARD. He's doing very well in GTs and I think it would take a Dynamics / WSR / Motorbase seat to entice him back... I do remember him saying he was very close to a deal this year though, so never say never!

I'd love to see TOC back, he has unfinished business in the series

He's also a very well respected developer of cars. As Team AON would testify as their cars, twice never really looked like winners until he got into them

All getting a bit messy and unnecessary on the the Rolec/Team Hard/Jake Hill front now.
Hope this gets resolved amicably with no more thrown toys. Its not really needed. |

I know people look out for their kids but I am feeling from things on twitter that Hill Senior is stirring things more than necessary

It looks pretty grotesque now, especially with Hill Senior prying into their business.

So someone other than Honda will be fielding another car for the rest of the season, or will the BTCC be down a car and a BMR TBL goes back to TOCA?

Of those 3 makes, only Subaru have a spare car available, and I don't see either Subaru or BMR finding the cash to be able to field that. Quote:

Wouldn't seem logical to keep the car as a spare if there was no intention or remote possibility of it ever being used. |

Not to say they haven't used the parts from the old chassis to build a 3rd car though - or even a 3rd car from the ground up? |

If it's the one I think it is then I think it is a show car - it was on the Honda stand at FOS a few weeks back (Neal 2017)

we can ignore my suggestion of Honda rolling the old car out for Sheddon to help Neal for the rest of the season - final round clashes with WTCR Chinese round

Besides the date clash, the main reason why it would never happen is why would Honda allow that? The whole point of Dynamics running the FK8 is that it promotes the current product Honda sells, not a car which is a couple of year out of production.

1. - As mentioned, it could have been done under a different banner 2. - We have already raised the question if the old car could have been stripped to build up a new car or reshelled 3. - 60th anniversary may have allowed a champion to return in a car (even of not THE chassis) he has won the title in in recent years, meaning another champion on the grid for this event which may have attracted more interest from potential sponsors However as you say this is quite unlikely, it just seems at the moment we are potentially heading to the 60th anniversary event 2 possibly 3 cars down which I don't think Gow will allow to happen for his showcase event, that's what im most curious about as I just cant see it happening. |

Talking of bosses jumping in, I'm now very strongly suspecting Mssrs Gilham and Hollamby peddling. One or both depending on the Hill/HARD divorce progress. |
