Why not it was an RML built car?

But totally untested and ultimately abandoned. And with a switch to the ex Moffat/Neate car confirmed, bye bye to the hatch

Moffats car is an RML built car too.

Yeah but the Cruze in saloon form was raced before, whereas the hatch only appeared this year.

I thought it would go to Stockton. I'll be glad to not see the hatch on the grid. I just loathe the thing. The Cruze just looks wrong as a hatch in my opinion.

Just for you I changed my avatar to the hatch for the moment

Genuinely think it looks quite nice just is as slow as ****

 

[cunny17]

Don't think the paint scheme helped it's looks imo.

Tordoff moving to ELMS?

Tordoff moving to ELMS?

Not a huge surprise. He's hardly set the BTCC alight so far, not to say he's a factory driver. He wasn't at all bad in the Porsche Cup and has plenty of family money behind him, so why not give it a go?

He was almost as good as Plato, and a lot more likeable

He was miles off plato.

 

[raceorama123432]

He was miles off plato.

I wouldn't say miles off. Sure, Plato was superior, but he was faster than most other drivers

Yeah but he was driving at the very minimum the 2nd best car on the grid.

 

[raceorama123432]

Wonder who will replace him then? A KX Academy driver?

 

[Bo]

We still haven't had any confirmation that MG are back at all. Plato's said all season it was a 3 year plan, and they were at the end of their development cycle.

They've still got good connections though. What about Tom Ingram?

He said he wants to remain at Speedworks.

Right. Tordoff hasn't confirmed leaving yet. He's just speculated

Tordoff moving to ELMS?

I have heard nothing. But then half the forum must be on speaking terms with half of the world's motorsport drives and teams given the amount of highly detailed facts and figures that get's thrown around like confetti. Facts and figures the casual fan could never know about the finances of a team and/or driver and the mechanics of a car. So I am guessing you must have spoken to someone close to Sam.

I can see him doing OK in the ELMS. But just OK. I can see him being a No.2 or No.3 driver in a half-decent team. But I don't know where he will find the money to run in the ELMS.

£££ Talks - my statement about Ingram was based on questions thrown at him in a BTCC facebook page that held a Q&A evening with him that he answered.

 

[TheCracker]

His family are worth £350m.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

The bank of mum and dad, his family are loaded.

 

[raceorama123432]

All I know is he posted this on his Instagram

Andy Wilmot with team hard next year.

 

[Roo]

Alex Martin to drive a Motorbase Focus.

 

[raceorama123432]

2014 season review is on ITV4 now

 

[Bo]

 

[neljack]

So where will Jack Clarke be? Or will motorbase become the new Team Hard and have about 12 cars?

On the grapevine, hearing that Plato has no sponsorship as of now and may not return..
