I think the announcement literally was Dynamics bought some Dulux off of B&Q.

The WSR thing was, I believe, make believe. Sort of a coronavirus Mk II if you like.

The first BTCC teaser had a 3 Series in it so I just assumed it was WSR related

Rob Austin's cool.
ITV coverage is bigger.
All 'hyped' with a close up of the R/R of a WSR car.

Meanwhile GS batteries have appointed a former driver from TD as a brand ambassador, and to celebrate one of their brands sponsoring a team for 10 yrs, they've convinced TD to change the bonnet to Honda Racing colours from the time the GS batteries ambassador was driving the car to 2nd place in the championship under the Yuasa banner.

(I think that sums up the last 24hrs)

Presumably 'doing a Team HARD' is missing a round as the car is wrecked when they're not even going back to HQ and only have a few days to turn it around...

Thanks for clearing up the Rob Austin stuff - yeah most of that OC stuff, and the sponsor shenanigans totally passed me by.

Now for something more important:

We need to peg back the Honda!

Totally missed qualifying because the itv website said that it was on at 4pm....

Today's result suggests otherwise. Too many Hondas in the top ten makes a mockery of the series.
Time to peg back the FWD cars and give those in RWD machinery a chance, otherwise we'll see a FWD walkover tomorrow.

Hmmm, I suspect Andy Neate's motorsport activities in any given year and my inability to correctly spel Mat Neil's name aren't linked. However, it's certainly a more interesting discussion point than can women actually drive and where big Tony got his new motors from. Not to mention when will WSR turn up with another BMW...

The rear wheel drive cars have been given a increase in boost reduction at the start from 6.5 to 11.5%. Quite an interesting article., especially Dick Bennett’s comments regarding the Motorbase engines.

I have to say though I think it’s very hard to negate the laws of physics with RWD despite different first gear, reduced boost etc.

Good, it was very clear they had an advantage off the line, hopefully this should even things out a bit.

It's interesting how some of the adjustments are made very public, where others aren't.

So Team Hard seem to have a plan of saving as many tyres as possible for today, hence why qualifying was so poor for them. Can't help but think it's a bit of an excuse for the fact that the VW is so slow in a straight line.

Agreed, interesting to read the comments about Motorbase.

I understand why they are being made, and understand the stance of WSR. Sadly though, I fear it will just perpetuate the arguments over a lack of parity on the grid.
