I don't think anyone had one that wasn't used as, as far as I understand it, they have to be returned to TOCA if they're not used as happened with Simpson.
Team Parker perhaps with Jelley going to WSR?
I think we're going to see a lot more "merging" of teams especially with cars needing replacing. The most likely next one would be MB Racing as they need to replace the Hondas so I wouldn't be surprised to see a merger with the likes of PMR or Motorbase.
I'd be very surprised if MB don't end up with Focuses judging by the action at Companies House with the Motorbase name and its new directors.Team Parker perhaps with Jelley going to WSR?

Motorbase also has Shaun Hollamby as a director now, that’s what I was hinting at.
Anyway... Tom Ingram has left Speedworks, apparently there’s an article in Motorsport News tomorrow and his IG story is of a box of stuff ‘clearing out his desk’ along with a Hansford Sensors calendar, a Ginsters pasty and his gloves. Looks like the sponsors will go with him, which might help pinpoint where he’s going? Someone who doesn’t mind more than one livery.

I guess it all depends how the Motorbase/AMD/MB thing pans out, it could be one name running 4 cars, one running 3 and one another (which is what I’m hoping, 3 main and Ingram in another) or it could be a 50/50 split. Either way, I’m as convinced as I can be that it’ll be 4 Focuses on the grid.

It says the engines are unbranded, what are they based on?
TOCA lump is still based on the Vauxhall Red Top engine still isn't it? MondeoMan1981 said:
