If providing clarification in response to a comment is frowned upon, then the conversation will die pretty quickly...

Or is it more a case of taking umbrage to someone else clarifying something?

Meanwhile, back at the farm...

Dynamics will fit a new device known as a brake pedal to Matt Neals car for 2020.

That would just be added weight as he doesn’t ever use it 😂

Interesting rumblings about a few teams planning or working on 3rd cars, so it looks like Mr Gow has a queue of people wanting any spare TBL’s or there will be a bidding war on any up for grabs if none have been handed back. Is the deadline the end of the month as it was last year?

Lots of tyres up for sale? I suppose this is due to the switch to Goodyear and not Ciceley moving on?

Preparing for disappointment.. (though hope to be proved wrong as always!)

Interesting mention of a "twist"

Reminds me of a story I heard about a Team boss selling ‘brand new’ BTCC tires which had actually been used & paid for by a driver who hadn’t collected them.Not sure who was more miffed the guy buying them who found out they weren’t new, or the driver who found them missing when he went to collect them?

I thought they were all sold as being the set on Turkington's car in R3 at Brands.

Next in the line of wild rumours from random social media posts.

Diamond Brite will be title sponsor of the Dynamics cars in 2020 - they've already got the livery sorted...

The podium truck is older than some of the drivers now.

Someone purchased it for the TBL?

Whether it’s related or not heard Motorbase are planning 3 cars again, so they must have acquired or hired a TBL to replace the HMS one or HMS aren’t coming back! BTC also been touted as adding a 3rd car if funding can be found.
