Not sure what you would do with it? Is there some series you could use it?

Touring Car Trophy?

Also, whilst BMR aren't using it, I don't think it's banned from being entered into the BTCC again?

It was originally posted back in Feb then marked as being sold. It was then re-posted a couple of weeks ago and marked as sold a few days later. Both times using the same pictures and same text as the current ad. The one from a couple of weeks ago showed a finance company as the seller, current shows as BMR.

Not sure what you'd do with it. TCT maybe, assuming that still exists.

You could use it as a suppositry.

Or cut it up and make silly little masks.

Or if you're an antique dealer who needs to move grandfather clocks quickly.

Other uses may also be available.

Britcar I think would be the only other major one, although I'm sure you could get a second-hand TCR car for much less.

Yep, TCR cars go for half (and often far less) than what they want for the Subaru. I've been tempted to get one many times.

Try one of the previous sponsors - I believe they may have some experience in the business

I see in the news today that Halfords are closing 60 stores as a result of COVID... Wonder if this will have a knock on effect next year for Dynamics?

I would be surprised if it doesn’t. The question is, do they have enough backing from Honda to see them through

I'm concerned about it as my impression is Honda's involvement has been decreasing last few years...

Since the end of 2015, I think Honda's support (financially) has been minimal. Before that, they operated as an independent up to 2009, so I can't see a reduction in support from Halfords leading to a TD withdrawal. Although they might rely on a driver bringing funds to the team in a greater way.

I am sure they have enough support for this year, but long term they will need to work hard to get another major sponsor

Halfords already had plans to close stores and garages at a rate of around 6 a year. Covid has just made them decide to condense the process. Staff are expected to be divided up between the remaining stores and garages. Halfords has seen an increase of sales over the last 3 months due to people buying bikes and now that the MOT extension is coming to an end, they expect to see an increase in car part sales.

I realise the danger in quoting 'some bloke on Facebook', but saw a post earlier from someone who had phoned Knockhill ticket office. He was told the current plan is to limit the event to just 2000 spectators, although that might change 'if things don't get worse'
