Hopefully Cook can find a drive as well, speculation in Autosport that he has a seat from Knockhill onward.

Back on the grid with Toyota. Tough on Dorlin who he's replacing (thought it might be Buxton), but I guess that's all to do with funding.

Wait, the Power Maxed Racing whose entire facility just burned down? How are they going to pull this off?

TOCA junior has failed once already and it never even got going, I see no reason to expect this to go a different way. Why they are intent on building a car from scratch when there are so many good, affordable options out there already, I do not know. When teams/drivers can't afford to run Clio Cup or Ginetta are struggling to put fields together and the Mini Challenge hasn't really supported BTCC effectively, how do they expect those same teams/drivers to front up even more cash for a bespoke car in a bespoke series that may ultimately have no function outside of being a TOCA junior/BTCC support package? Especially with numbers in the BTCC dwindling as the costs increase there.

Judging from the image, by finding a generative AI and using the prompt "an MX-5/F-Type racing car with just the wildest roll cage in history". Perhaps then can use GenAI to create the results too.

So...

Andy Rouse's SCV8 Series
Jonathan Palmer's Touring 1 Series
BTEC Development Series
TOCA Junior Series

...all have one thing in common.

They all failed to get off the ground.

Good luck, PMR, you're going to need it!
