I'd be surprised if they do make it back to the grid for 2026.

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.

Great livery on the '96 Mondeo 👍

Shame it was a bit of a lemon, not finishing higher than a 5th place all season.

Okay, what happened here?

Cars on slicks for 15 laps suddenly met a rain shower at that corner.

Would have said they are going full NASCAR and no track limits but...

Sutton vs Ingram - door banging, rubbing is racing, absolute ding dong battle in race 3.

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.
