Running or racing?
Good luck to you but not sounding promising
what's the problem?
Sorry, I meant racing. Good luck to you but not sounding promising
what's the problem?Unfortunately it was a delay of parts, outside of our control, that's caused the problems. However, the car is ready to run, so should be getting some last minute testing before brands!
Unfortunately for myself, I'm not at Mallory full time as I'm still serving, but I'll be there this weekend.
Being a cynical old t
t, I assume parts delay = funding issue. There's so much bullst in BTCC it hard for genuine people not to get tarred with the same brush. (I am not casting aspersions at you 
).
Sorry if you've mentioned it elsewhere, but (if you don't mind me asking) what's your link to the team?
Hope it all gets sorted In time

As far as I'm aware, it wasn't a funding issue (but thats way above my pay-cheque to speculate).
I'm a serving paratrooper whose been injured and currently waiting on a medical discharge, as the discs have gone in my back from a previous leg injury.
So, I'm being trained to be one of the mechanics on the cars, which upon my discharge from the army, will hopefully become my full time job.

To be fair it can be a nightmare even when you've paid! Always stupid little bits that the nominated suppliers don't keep in stockt, I assume parts delay = funding issue.

I don't doubt it Ollie...but you know as well as I do that it's often used as an excuse by certain unscrupulous stbags. Or maybe I'm just bitter rallycross said:
When is the first race scheduled and who's in your best guess for top 3 for race one?
I'm going to say Andrew Jordon in the Pirtec MG, Andy Prilaux in the ICH 325i and Gordon Shedden in the new Civic.
This weekend at Brands.I'm going to say Andrew Jordon in the Pirtec MG, Andy Prilaux in the ICH 325i and Gordon Shedden in the new Civic.

Oh I sympathise completely and definitely could compete in the bitterness stakes tbags. Or maybe I'm just bitter 
Some of the suppliers are fairly notorious in terms of lead times though, even among the teams they want to supply! It's merely exaggerated for the ones they don't want to supply as they get put to the bottom of the pile!
Along with another year of full well almost full grids on the touring cars the other series look very healthy this year specially the juniors with a full grid, Porsche numbers are above 20 for a first time in a while with the msa formula/clios in the low 20s and supercup mid to high teens.
Great news to see the other series grow specially the Porsches too.

Just out of interest....any speculation/inside info on BMR's new sponsor?? I can't be the only one that noticed the general lack of sponsorship on the trucks and cars........not to mention the subtle question mark on the corner of all four cars bonnets??
A team that big HAS to have some kind of sponsor.....must be serious cash to run one car in the BTCC let alone four of them!!
