Lloyd hasn’t got the funding for a full season especially with the higher price required for the FK8. I’m sure the team would love him to stay but that don’t pay the bills.

Whilst I’d love that to mean Mat Jackson, I don’t think we’ll be that lucky.

He can keep the medical car company on the opening lap, unless it pulls away from him.

Is it fully confirmed bt BTC themselves that they have the FK8's for 2019??

Just thinking I don't think I have seen anything on the matter from the team themselves?

that's a weird rumor cause there is photo of boss shaking hands with Steve Neal

but don't understand the logic of investing lots of money in the EK8 which is NOT fully to speed and their existing old Civics are capable to do the job

Much as I like the rumour, I think changing cars 3 times in 3 seasons would be insane. The FK2s have always and will continue to be very competitive and trying to learn a new car that even the big name in the championship haven’t worked out just seems a step too far.

So BMR will be a single-car team again... and they will probably struggle for a few weekends again.

Having just two cars is no bad thing. Just shows they are making things more manageable. Hardly a case of the 'mighty have fallen'

Agree. I don't get this desire by some to denigrate and demean BMR. They are a team like any other and that means facing challenges and having to overcome them. Team Dynamics, WSR and Motorbase have all gone through the ebbs and flows over the years. I don't see, and never saw at the time, the same vitriol and passive aggression towards them. At the end of the day, they have brought us some great racing, allowed us to see one of the best drivers on the grid at his very best, introduced a new model and manufacturer and given us plenty of things to talk about.

So can we get back to knowledgeable and intelligent discussion please? 😊

Does pondering if PMR and JP will both be at Sprout count as intelligent discussion?
