Poor Rob, he's had quite a few nasty accidents in his BTCC career and an awful lot of bad luck as well. Good luck to whoever takes his place.

Good to see so many 'get well soon' messages to Rob from the rest of the paddock, too.

Now that wouldn't be surprising in the slightest.

Cainey and Mr G have not being seeing eye to eye for a while depending who you wish to believe. Neither he, Mike Bushell or Jake Hill where happy with GK and other things within the team. True or not true I do not know; but Jake walked and GK was apparently pushed, so something did go down...

Whether Eppsy is looking to come back with HARD is another unknown; no doubt budget but getting a 4 meeting budget together may be a lot easier than a full season budget...

Rob confirming Ricky in my book.

Matrix underlined their ambitions to enter a car into BTCC at the start of the season, Epps in a HARD VW supported by Matrix might just be how they do it

Still didn't keep him though so he's maintained that reputation.

So no Collard for the next two meetings. That will be three meetings he has missed due to injury in the last 12 months. Could this be the beginning of the end? Wouldn't be surprised to see his son in the series. He has driven the BMW before

Matrix are already linked to PMR, and only a few weeks ago Epps hinted at a PMR seat for next year.

Can't really see any driver wanting to drive for HARD given everything that's been going on!

This is true, but they were happy to put the Matrix logos on the Amd cars for the Snetterton test.
And of course maybe they could end up trading a Hard TBL off season as Tony is clearly struggling with 4 cars

One or more of those TBL’s could be up for grabs sooner rather than later.

If he had 4 competitive cars he would probably have 4 happy drivers, its a viscous cycle
