A very nice, approachable, down to earth and totally selfless chap. Not to mention one of the best hard chargers. I hope we'll see him around still, he added a lot of cheery personality to the paddock. |

Not surprised to hear Rob Collard calling it a day, he's giving it a good go and been up there long enough. He will be missed

Dan Cammish on Twitter -
"Saw a sneak preview of our 2019 #btcc livery today. Absolute 🔥. Can’t wait to get strapped back in because by man maths we’re at least a tenth quicker already. #looksfastgoesfast" Seems to confirm him, I assume still at Dynamics. |

Lets be honest we lost respect for austin when he had to cheat his way to pole on live tv,
Be no great loss if he doesn't come back the same with Knob collard, Not as nice as he tries to come across, |

I've found Rob Collard to be nothing other than a good guy and he makes a mean cup of tea in a polystyrene cup!

Anyway, Hill is an excellent driver. Speak to anyone in and around the paddock who have worked with or raced alongside him and they'll say the same. Unfortunately he's been held back by a serious lack of budget - and as such a lack of continuity and competitive machinery. Quote:
Nice guy and a very talented racer. With our friend 'Plato' only signing up to have a dig at him, I'd imagine there might be a personal issue going on - perhaps in business - here. |

Any respect I had for him went when I came across him at the Rockingham Citroen C1 24 hour race. And I am surprised he hasn't got Stella to sponsor him.

Which is the standard by which anyone should be judged!
Seriously though, he takes things on track seriously, which is perhaps why some people consider him to be arrogant, but always found him very approachable. Can't say I'm hugely surprised at him leaving the team. There were strong rumours last year that he would step down and spend more time supporting his sons. |

I cant see PMR going for complete change, I think Proctor may stay, I think Cook to BMR was the rumor a while ago.

Collard now confirmed to have left WSR - looking at options elsewhere in the BTCC and British GT.

Maybe the Plato PMR whisper has legs if neither Cook or Proctor are confirmed. Or maybe Cook and/ or Proctor are still working to continue in the seats. Early days still.
