Of course it might just be that sponsorship is transferred through a company to the actual race team, is there anyone how can and would like to shed light on how it all works?

Time for a spectacularly wrong educated guess...

MJ and AN in a new team venture running a pair of Fords. MJ would need a money man, AN fits that bill very well. Add it to the AN driving a different Ford story plus MJs family Ford connections and bingo. 2 + 2 = 9.75.

What? It was in nitrogen bottles IIRC.

Anyone shed anything on Rowbo? Heard he’s definitely back, but no clues as to where, just not Ciceley!

Would you have acted differently in the circumstances?

It's not those Jacksons!, it's Ollie who is now connected to Mountune.

He’s already said the car is there to be a donor to the restoration of his title winning car, so definitely not for racing.

Yeah I really would have wanted to go back to jail again, it was so fun the first time, I would want to go back

I see AJ has just added that as a reply to the Instagram post. Are you telling us it was already common knowledge?

Yeah it was posted in a news story earlier today, but I think he knew it would generate some ‘interest’ when he posted the picture to Instagram

Maybe now he can get a job as a chief troller

He certainly won that championship this year with all the sniping at WSR

What a lovely name I think he should restart his career as Rodney Jackson

To add a bit to the Mountune story, there were some reports of them going into administration in August which I can't remember reading about at the time. Anyways, Autocar reported this.

The original company is listed as in administration and has been renamed to ML2020 and Mountain and the Jacksons are listed as directors to Mountune 2. At least it seems that the company is still going in some form, so hopefully there will still be Mountune powered Focii on the grid next season. Interesting times behind the scenes it seems.

He'd only complain about the success ballast damaging his chances disproportionately compared to the other competitors in the BTC (British Trolling Championship).

Confirmed in Motorsport news today that Ingram has left speedworks.

Really?

Could the Toyota be being run by a different team and theyre taking Ingram with them?

S griffin · 29 Dec 2020, 16:27 (Ref:4025651)

That’s a big shame, but hopefully he can find another seat. Although I feel he could end up in GTs

Wow, that's a massive shame. Definitely my favourite driver / team combo. If the only way he can go in the BTCC is up... replacing Matt Neal at Dynamics?

stuart thompson · 29 Dec 2020, 16:38 (Ref:4025655)

Couple of decent seats in 330’s available 😉

Good shout, I am sure Dynamics would love to have Tingram on their books and they’ve always been able to show that money is no object when it comes to getting drivers

And would clean up in the Whinging Cup and the Self-Entitled Trophy too.

Can anyone post the article from Motorsport News?

but that would be the end of Shedden returning

Alfisti · 29 Dec 2020, 17:51 (Ref:4025666)

Might be three Dynamics cars. Only might; so Sheds is theoretically possible. I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyways!

Whether Matt is racing or not he still hasn't said. I think his hearts in it and I hope he is on the grid.

Tingram might just appear as Mr Morgans team mate. I think the small family team environment would suit him to the ground. Although the MB suggestion from t'other day looks like it's on the money
