Edit: After staring at it for a few minutes, I like the slightly brighter shade of blue but I'm a bit worried about the chrome

Probably going to be hit with a chair for saying this but...

Blue chrome looks good. There I said it.

I agree. I'll get our coats.

I'm providing them. That thing is sexy

I might be imagining it, and I know they did the silver chrome for Snetterton, but I'd swear they used blue chrome on the MG at one of the rounds this year.

Focus looks awesome in the Pirtek colours.

Yet again the Pirtek livery doesn't disappoint .

Nobody ever complains about Marlboro McLarens...

That's funny. The liveries actually most different it has been for years. Chrome blue, more orange detailing. The original liveries were very similar, this is the standout different one.

Damn it, Ferrari sure produce some boring repetitive 🤬 livery designs don't they?

Bargain just need the spare £25k for the toca engine.

Tordoff confirmed with WSR again next year collard still hasn't got the credit card out yet.

MG continue with T888 for another 3 years. That puts a few rumours out the window.

Latest rumour with BMR sponsored by cadburys

 

[Furinkazen]

Lea Wood has revealed that the cost of switching parts from GPRM to RML was a key factor in selling up. He is back to pick up racing as "Team JWT" in 2016 but says he has "unfinished business" in BTCC. Don't think we've seen last of him.

Simpson Civic taking shape.

Bye bye RAR

Big fan of WSR. I think Sammy could be lined up to be the lead driver if they can't secure Rob Collard. I liked Tordoff this year. I think he showed at least flashes of talent and potential if not consistently showed it.

Obviously money is the key issue in the BTCC. What I know as much (at the least) about the business aspect that goes on behind closed doors that fans like me never get to see is that if you don't have the money you don't have the seat. But funds aside, if I had to pick someone who I would like to see at WSR..and I could get shot down for this...is someone like Dave Newsham. Negotiations between Josh Cook and Dave by Power Maxed Racing are I know ongoing but I would love for WSR to sign him.

Negotiations are still on going with josh cook but not newsham.

I wonder if Andy Jordan talked to WSR at all, I know Motorbase had a stronger car last year but I still think WSR are a better long term prospect.

 

[Furinkazen]

Willing to put big chunk of money on Newsham at Team HARD.

Think newsham has common sense.

What will be interesting is with RAR collapsing the people who "invested" money ie the owners club what will happen with that.

Is this 'RAR collapsing' thing based purely on the sale of their truck? Only ask because you are literally the only person i have heard mention it, and think its entirely possible they are just getting new transporters (i dont actually recall seeing the white one at races for quite some time if im honest).

No it's on various websites and forums and Facebook.

Because nothing is official, unless its facebook official

 

[Urinal2001]

Fair enough, cant access FB at work and cant find any mention of it anywhere else, so will have to check it out when i get home. Sad if true.

I think you might have to post links then, because its not mentioned on Hunters facebook, or on Robs, or on Robs dads, or on the RAR page, and i no mention of it on any websites or forums that i have seen.
