Out of curiosity - what leads you to think Morgan's may be different?
AFAIK, he was announced as 'the third member of the Team VERTU line-up' and nothing has indicated anything different.

Just the fact that only two cars at launch and last year 2 cars had different sponsors . I am hoping vertu may be on all four as it will help the bankroll but it may not . Last year they still referred to themselves as BSM racing without having the branding on two

TOCA Live launches this year.

Circuit comms has been going out over local FM for decades, and in more recent years that's been streamed online as well. This looks like a rebrand with presumably the radio/steam starting earlier in the day before the PA turns on and continuing after the PA shuts down.

TOCA Radio worked in the 90s and early 00s because there was no live TV coverage. Not sure what the appeal is these days outside the scope of broadcasting over the circuits PA.

Remember the days of listening to the online commentary and watching a webcam with stills of the TV feed? The under 25s don't know how lucky they are.

Has anyone else noticed just today that when opening a news item on the BTCC website that it also downloads something else. I cannot tell you what they have been because I deleted them without opening them, but it's now happened three times.

Whatever you seem to open these days you can be sure that something will pop up on your home page the next time that you didn't want. You only have to move your mouse slightly and you will pick up some lurking advert !!

Plain white testing liveries for Morgan with Excler8 and DeLeon with WSR from the looks of things on Instagram. Moffat and Rainford in the LKQ livery that someone spotted weeks ago at a trade event.

That's the same colour as the Euro Car Parts vans now.

Keeping his hand in and his face known . What a pity it isnt a 2 car seat . Would be an awesome partnership . I don’t think Turks is quite done yet and hope he will be back next year . Toyota should have offered him a seat like they did for Flash . Would have been an asset for the team profile .
Are Euro car parts a part of the same group as Vertu/BSM ?

Turkington is always ready to jump in to test and help WSR where he can. He did it a few times during his previous away time from the championship in 2010-12

Max Halls livery revealed on the BTCC Instagram. Reminiscent of last years PMR livery. I’m just sad he hasn’t got the eyes on the car like last years mini

With Jake off GT3 racing this week/weekend at Mugello, it makes sense for Colin to hop in the car. He know’s it better than most and all the other drives are new to WSR and the car.

And the socials have had a few comments with people saying they've had to change the livery due to BMWs corporate identity. It's LKQ's corporate identity!

Wasn't until a couple of weeks back and I saw an LKQ van doing deliveries in that livery that I realised that was their corporate colours.

I haven’t got instagram so can’t open this but I am now confused. I thought the Rockit backing and livery was for both unlimited entries . There was talk of Hall not being safe due to sponsor withdrawals but that seemed to have been answered . Does this suggest that he may be short on funding ?

From what I recall from ASI this was always meant as a testing livery for Max. Patterson is running plain black no sponsors too ATM.

Morgan is the one that is really confusing me, I can't see him running under the Team Vertu banner with Ciceley as his main sponsor.

Un-Limited really are keen to distance themselves from the old Team HARD. So much so that they've appointed Tony Gilham as Team Principal.
