That picture Mike Epps tweeted is him sitting in a CC. The above poster posted a picture showing the inside of what the CC looks like, which happend to be Howard's car, as a comparison to Epps photo. Which we can see is the same 'model' of car. So basically you could have a good guess that Epps is back at HARD next season! With Jack Goff as a teammate.

let's all hope that Howard does NOT return on the grid, he was probably the main safety car cause during last season

If you asked most drivers who they didn't want to see in their mirrors, they'd say "the yellow one" and "the red one". |

Well after Snetterton, I think he did. Definitely made decent progress after then and looked quite racy at times. I hope he'll be back to carry on the progress, sounds promising that both he & AmD want to do a deal for next year.

I must say I'm surprised as well, if TD was the goal why not go there in the first place? Nonetheless a great move, and I'm sure we'll see more of him next year.

depends how you look at the situation i would have thought he was pretty happy and settled at Speedworks however this could be seen as a natural move for progression and probably more cost effective than buying cars off them on a yearly basis and having to use the ageing equipment
just a thought but wonder if this will allow a Handy Speedworks tie up for the purposes of the Teams championship as im sure an Austin Ingram Avensis combo would yield more points than the team this year |

Disagree. I would say anyone driving a Honda last year was an accident waiting to happen (although not Neate or Lloyd).

Possibly, but it really only confirms that Neal and Shedden will be involved with Team Dynamics' BTCC entry, not necessarily as drivers.
Perhaps one of them may may be taking a coaching role? (However I expect that the TD entry will be Neal, Shedden and Simpson) From 10 Feb 16 - Simpson: 'Matt [Neal] and Gordon [Shedden] have also been extremely helpful; I really appreciate that – to receive advice from drivers of their calibre is something pretty special.' |
