BMW 330i/330e = 5 cars (+1 in private collection) CUPRA Leon = 4 cars Ford Focus = 5 cars (+1 in private collection) Honda Civic FK8 = 7 cars (incl. 2 cars owned by Dynamics not used since 2021) Hyundai i30N = 4 cars Toyota Corolla = 3 cars Vauxhall Astra = 3 cars (incl. 1 car not used since 2020) TOTAL RACEABLE CARS = 31 (+2 in private collections) Remove the cars held as spares by bigger teams (1 BMW & 1 Ford & probably 1 Honda) and there's only 28 available. If OneMotorsport do run 4 cars they'll probably have to buy one of the spare Dynamics-owned FK8s. This is why I think that one of the Moffat TBLs will probably go back to TOCA - unless someone builds something new (and at probably great expense) there are very few cars out there. [There are also 3 Infinitis out there but I did not include them as I can't see anyone racing them again in the BTCC] |

Is it just me or is the BMW, BMW M, and M Performance Parts sponsorship a lot larger and more visible this year? |

I don't really know what the relevance of total built chassis is? A current NGTC chassis has very little value without a TBL to go with it. Also if you are just replicating an existing design, putting together a new chassis can be done in a matter of weeks. It makes little sense to have built up cars sitting around that won't be used.

There is a bottleneck in the building or repair of these chassis, because there aren't many places where they are created/repaired. For example, Turkington's BMW needed considerable work after the Oulton coming together, but Willie Poole, who is the go to guy for many of the teams, also does work for many other series and couldn't repair the BMW in the break before the next race. Hence WSR having to borrow Turkington's BMW from the Turkington museum. |

Ok so let's come back to the 'WSR will no longer be supported by BMW' talk in 8 months time
As for the livery I can't quite decide if I like it or not to be honest but for sure it's in line with all factory BMW liveries. |

Little over a month to the first race and deals not done - not a great business model…..
