stuart thompson should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Forgive me for being dumb, but what cars are team HARD using this year? I saw them towing a black bare shell that looked remarkably like a Passat cc round the m25 last week.

Tho i think its a given James Cole will be at BMR, all ive seen over winter on his twitter is him with his guitars, are we sure hes not taking a year out to find his sound or something?

The seat could already be filled.

Tom Boardman put up a pic of an Audi RS3 TCR in a workshop a few days back, I assumed he was heading for a TCR championship somewhere.

It’s the same every year, winter time is his Rock music session or season if you like, he’ll be back in racing mode soon!

On that point, it would be prudent of Motorbase to secure the seat before their imminent Spanish trip.

Yes. Signed on dotted lines before Mat "sign a contract and go sniffing elsewhere" Jackson was educated as to where the exit door was. Allegedly, according to sources close to the Minister etc.

Maybe part of the Spain trip will be a shoot out between a couple of candidates

that may make sense, there was a spare somewhere as they only had 3 last year, up to 4 for 2018, last time 4 were being run it was as BMR so a car so might have been stored still with old livery from 2015

Wow... Excellent news! Really nice colours - funny as just this morning I was hoping Eurotech wouldn't run that browny red again!

However now I really hope Dynamics and Norlin aren't running black Civics too...

Didn't see that coming... radar definitely off!

So if WIX are with Eurotech (their third team!), then who's corporate yellow was that on the Merc the other day... or have I totally lost it and it wasn't the Merc?

In the teaser pic? Looks like it wasn't a Merc, and was indeed a Eurotech Honda.
