very true...but could it be that the pro1000 deal is the alternative?

People seem to be forgetting how big a company 888 are. Look at Prodrive, WSR and RML. They can run many different programmes at the same time, as can 888.

Exactly. Who knows how long this deal has been done anyway, it may be that pro1000 was something new for 888 alongside a BTCC effort. I can't see the team giving up just because their sponsor has decided to not renew their contract.

If you were a sponsor, which team would you first approach to run your BTCC effort?

Didn't know that. I thought they had only developed the car to sell to customers.
