As long as the safety is still up to date, then why not? People hardly notice it when he's driving. Of course it's not quite 100% certain he will retire, he has hinted he might go on if he still feels it's worth going on. I think he's still got something in him, but it all depends on the car

porsche962fan should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
the biggest WTF situation would be if he wins 2 races and retires like he said he will at the end of season , so missing out by just 1 win

I thought he sold them all to raise money for Ukraine?...

He said he was going to auction them all off. That hasn't happen as of yet and I've not seen any mention of that since.

He talked about it on the Paul O'Neill interview a few weeks ago, something about wanting to set up his own website to auction them, to control where the profits go? So still happening but taking longer than expected, apparently!

I was a little early. 168 hours early to be accurate.

Yeah, ebay like to line their pockets with a significant percentage, and given the likely sale price of some of Jason's bits I can see it mounting up.

Back off to drool over an ex Yvan Muller Astra Coupe on said site...

It was very much a case of sticking stickers on the car for R1. And JP in a racesuit from the Subaru days. Very much a late deal! Should be more aesthetically pleasing this weekend. The car that is, not JP

Hybrid boost changed for Brands. Qualifying is unchanged with a max 15sec per lap boost. For the race it drops from 15 to 10 per lap. Top ten on number of non-hybrid laps is unchanged

I've seen posts from different people on different sites saying that Morgan still has no hybrid. Is that correct? Not a good look for hybrid seeing how far up he was running at Donington and in FP1 today.

Which cars were using all their HEM, and who was evaluating a lack of HEM?

Also not a good look that it's had 3 weeks to be fixed.

Ingram looking strong this morning ?? I know he hasn't got hybrid for qualifying but do they he have it for free practices?

Gamble again very impressive outdoing Morgan , far from the worst BMW driver , does this mean Chilton really sucked in it ?

utter nonsense

nobody had hybrid in fp1 as the timing beacon from tsl timing was playing up and the hybrid didnt reset going over the line

this from autosport;

But it became a moot point in the opening free practice session at Brands, because a timing beacon failure on the start-finish line meant that the hybrid reset function was not available to anyone and no one could use it.

all fine for the second practice everyone has hybrid

That's why I asked if it was true as that article wasn't up at the time I originally posted. One of the posts said Morgan was being interviewed at the circuit when he said he still didn't have hybrid. It did sound a bit weird to me but just like politicians people posting on social media do like to leave the context out of things.
