hopefully there won't be again shortage of supplies , IMO no team in their right mind will want to continue with the GPRM crap
problem is this will hurt a lot of the small teams like Welch to buy new parts |

With their history I rate RML higher than GPRM, although RML had also problems supplying parts to their customers in WTCC.

Alfa are keeping closer to a design language they've been using than most of the others.
In my opinion, it looks a lot nicer than most of the cars in that segment. |

i think Alexander Sims could replace Priaulx for Rockingham, BMW factory driver and very quick

Sims has both BGT and F3 commitments now, although I have no idea if they clash with Rockingham. Would be interesting...

Sims, Zanardi, Muller, Cammish and every other big name with a minor link to the championship, or Andy, or BMW.
Nope, it's Nick Foster. Meh. |

While I can see the logic from the teams point of view and do like Nick, I cannot help feeling somewhat underwhelmed by the announcement.

Seems my hunch was right. Good choice, safe pair of hands. The fact is it costs money to get a big name |

Exocet leaving RAR, interesting to see what Rob has lined up for next season - hopefully they have more luck than Motorbase in securing a title sponsor. |

Also, where that leaves them on their plans on pursuing a new car for 2016... having a sponsor in place would help that no end!

He's pushing on with the new (FWD!) car: http://www.touringcartimes.com/2015/...-sponsor-loss/
Really curious what he'll pull out of the hat, somehow he always manages to get it done! |

An interesting point I picked up on in the Honda article is they are willing to spend £20,000 to get accurate TV figures.. to push on to potential sponsors.
That's when you know things are going good! |

With Honda intending to stay for another three years and planning to introduce yet another engine for the cars, the numbers must've been fantastic though |

I guess they won't be sharing those numbers anytime, though just the fact that they seem to be very pleased and likely to stick around for another three years must be good news for every other team as well.
