A bit late in the day, but it was TCR UK driver, Joe Marshall.

Alex Day raced 'Sherman' during the 2019 TCR UK/TCT season and gave up towards the end of the season - wiring loom problems kept causing engine problems IIRC.

Looked fast when he wasn't having to stop on track to ctrl/alt/del the thing!

The funny thing is, I recall Supertourers going for similar money (20-30K) in the mid to late 2000s, then all of a sudden the prices skyrocketed when the whole historics scene took off.

Not that it means all that much at this point. At least three of allocations changed substantially from the November 2022 list to the final grid in April 2023.

Sorry to disagree, however all it tells us is who owns the TBLs; between the time that TOCA announce who has what and the time that TOCA requires the entries, not the TBLs, to be registered, a lot can happen.

It will be who owns the TBLs, not which teams are using them. If its anything like previous years then expect a load of questions about why the likes of Aiden Moffat Racing or Carl Boardley Motorsport are on the list.

I had seen rumours about Boardley taking his BTCC Cupra and a second Hard one to run in a team as the gaffer, but I just watched him in an interview the other day talking about going to the TCR finals in Portimao next year and I presume doing something else with TCR.

I'm interested to see if the number is the same.

It’s a bit of a sad scene there at present. I’ll be surprised if we see them at all.

They should try a raffle for one of the trucks.

The thing about the guy leaving Team Hard after six years. It was his first job out of Uni by the looks of things, hell of a position for a grad to got to the BTCC, could just be a case of moving onto something bigger, or different?
Then again, whenever anything happens at Hard we're gonna jump on it.
I expect sponsors will want to divvy up invoice payments on a race-by-race agreement. I mean, anybody doing due diligence wouldn't pay three or four races ahead with them.

Amended British F4 calendar. They're no longer visiting Oulton Park and Croft and are instead visiting Silverstone GP and Zandvoort in the summer

https://www.fiaformula4.com/rokit-br...-2024-calendar

Means that F4 will only be at 8/10 meetings so TOCA need another guest series. Radicals?

IIRC, Oulton Park and Croft have a later start time than some other circuits - so TOCA might opt to run a reduced schedule instead?

A team selling items can just as likely be an upgrade or expansion is in the pipeline.
