Bloody hell didn't see that one coming!! Good news though, think he is a decent peddler, hopefully he will get some luck this year and get a chance to show what he can do. Where has his money come from? wasn't it only a couple of years ago he had to miss knockhill due to lack of funding?

It'll be an interesting partnership, a lot of people seem to rate Goff highly but personally I can't see why? He was in a decent car last year and never looked to be getting the best out of it compared to Smith.

He only had it for the last few rounds didn't he?

Do AMD have an extra TBL? Motorbase have built extra cars quietly over the past few seasons?

Good stuff. We can finally see how good he really is, against a very good team mate!

Preferred to see ingram along side Jordan at mg but be interesting to see how goff gets on in a top line team.

Surely motorbase will do the same again this year than last year 2 team cars and the dextra focus instead of the crabbies sponsored focus.
Also looks like marc hynes wont be back and 888 will be down to 2 cars.

Hope ingram gets a drive alongside Jackson at motorbase.

Speedworks seem to be very quiet of late too.

Not many seats left not long left till media day.

So what part of my post are you disputing exactly? They had 3 last year, they're down to 2... Reading a difficulty for you?

The Motorbase car that's been revealed so far (Alex Martin, Dextra Racing) is yellow... Hence if they're testing two white cars there's a reasonable chance they're thinking of running them both....?

The Dextra car is the same as Mark Hynes MG last year, it's classed as a separate entry not a Motorbase entry.

Motorbase only ran 2 cars last year as the 3rd was the crabbies sponsored cars which im guessing is the dextra car.

Smith and Depper in the Eurotech Hondas, that's about as uninspiring as you can get.

I can read fine thanks. But there are four Fords as last year. The two Airwaves cars and the Crabbies car are now the yellow Dextra car and the two white ones, while AmD have their red one.

Both aren't bad drivers, depper was good in the minis a few years back hes better than smith. Would like to have seen ingram there if not at motorbase alongside Jackson.

There were 3 airwaves cars last year, there will now be 2 Ex Airwaves cars run by Motorbase, the old Crabbies car, and AMD have announced they'll be running a second car this year - the ex 3rd airwaves car.

Correction, wasn't an airwaves car, it's this one http://www.autoglym.com/news_articles/caine-set-to... that AMD have bought.

There weren't three Airwaves cars last year - there were two. To clear it up...

The Airwaves cars last year were the Autoglym car you mentioned from 2013, and a new build.
The Crabbies car was the one Aron Smith raced in 2013 before moving to BMR.

The 'original' NGTC Focus that first raced in 2012 is the one that AmD have.

Rubbish. They're both middling level pay drivers at best. Being good in a dead-end spec series full of pay drivers is one thing, being a decent driver is another entirely.

. . . . And don't forget the Ford that Motorbase sold to Team Parker Racing over the winter. Potentially makes another one on the grid.
