Or it all could have been Facesaving Hogwash

What do we think the odds are of Restart Racing acquiring the old BTC/One Civics if they don’t make a return this year?

I'd be very surprised given they made quite the investment last winter into the Cupras , not sure how much of a development dead end the Civics would be.

I think if they were to run the MSport engine they would be a decent package again but maybe need TD support. There are 7 civics from memory.

Personally I think if the Civic comes out of retirement it'll be a team stepping up and testing the waters to see if they could repeat Excelr8 and what they did with the MG.

Now this I could see making a lot of sense , a new team running the cars with the M-Sport engine to just get to grips with the series would be ideal.

Or any new team having some kind of partnership with One. Assuming One still own anything or have the workshop.

Suppose any new interest has only got or a month or so before the TBLs are allocated, I guess nothing’s been rumoured on that front.

any chance of ONE securing a fleet of the new shape civic FL-5's?

Anyone would think that there was a way of controlling how much hybrid each car had, and even controlling when it's deployed. Next you'll be starting on about Team HARD coming back, again.
