Which means that Plato will be there too. Adrian Flux have been very insistent on both drivers being there (they sponsor both Ash and Jason) otherwise they would pull their funding.

I'm also aware of another possible driver for BMR although I can't say anything at the moment. It's someone very unexpected but the deal isn't quite there yet so I have to stay tight lipped.

I'm going to call this now -

AWE in a Civic of some sort
Cook at MG or in the other Civic
Motorbase - Jackson again along side Butcher again

E spares stickers on the Motorbase RS's today so that means Deppers on board as well.

[Robmarriott]

Possibly Depper but he did still sponsor Eurotech after leaving.

Pics on Autosport’s website shows Mat Jackson’s name and number in a Motorbase Focus with the new livery and there’s a third one in their workshop

Noticed that, bit of a PR snafu

[Robmarriott]

Also worth noting that Speedworks have tweeted a picture of the Avensis at Autosport bearing Ingrams name and number, either they’re lazy with removing stickers from a car they won’t be using again... or they’ve let the cat out of the bag on the sly.

Mat Jackson confirmed for Motorbase...

[Robmarriott]

no surprise there!

very strong team I reckon, could be one a contender for the Independents Championship.

Cook to PMR, great move!

[Robmarriott]

AMD confirmed as having the MGs, shock of the century right there, nobody saw that coming...

Also Honda Yuasa Racing have said Neal and Shedden are at Autosport, on their stand, talking about the 2018 season so that’s a given, as expected.

Alfa looked nice today. Little bit empty on the inside though...

TCR version wins the overall looks between the two for me.

To be fair - the final pic of the bare shell in with us was taken less than a month ago! HMS are well on target to complete in the next couple of weeks ready for testing

No comparison - NGTC version miles better looking than the TCR version

Get a better idea of the shape without the vinyl on.

Horse for courses. They both have their merits but lots of people on social media disappointing that the NGTC one isn't more aggressive looking. Too cute for my tastes but then a lot of people like that.
