The posts use the #btcc so it would seem to be related to the BTCC. The tagged company are currently promoting their support to the HARD. eSports team. So - my deduction is that the driver is an eSports competitor and they are entering with a SIM of the Cupra. |

Interesting reading in Autosport’s piece on Restart Racing, Smiley was lined up for the third Toyota last year.
“Smiley looked good to stay with Excelr8 for 2022, but it fell through (“I have to be careful what I say on that one…”). After that, “I had the deal done to be in the third Speedworks Toyota last year, but Toyota canned the third car [Speedworks had been loaned an extra TBL entrants’ licence for 2022].” https://www.autosport.com/national/n...ries/10434466/ |

Aron Taylor-Smith with a Facebook post and the location seems to be very close to Team Hard HQ.
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?sto...00063668013768 Another year in the Cupra for him seems likely perhaps? Or is he going to surprise us, I think he might…. Last edited by Millvi; 21 Feb 2023 at 19:14. |

I did hear Issac Smith claim his TCR Budget last year was £50,000, but Smiley and Restart had £300,000 in their kitty.
Question is, if true, did that include the buying of the Honda, because Smith said it was an old 2018 car. I mean if you've got 300 grand for TCR it's not that short of being on the BTCC grid is it? |

They should have employed the services of Nick Moss who does the Team BMW cars.

Reminds me a bit of the 2010 WSR livery, would have hoped for more blue really as at the moment it looks a bit bland with all the white space.
Hopefully the livery on the other WSR cars is a bit more exciting. |

Looking forward to tomorrow's NAPA reveal but I'm not expecting it to be too different from the 2022 livery. |

Still think NAPA will spring a surprise. 4 cars would be cool, but the feeling to this reveal is a tad more than that.
Happy to be proven wrong and told off for naivety, we will see. |
