I'm quite surprised by that, I expected it to be white.

I have a feeling that it will be a reversal of the car from last year, with a white lettering promoting his company instead of the blue he had last year.

Yeah, probably.

I hadn't noticed Hazell in the Clios because it is not something I've followed. I saw him as a name from the past because of this:

1999 - MGF Cup finishing 6th overall
1997 - Vectra Sri V6 Challenge in support of BTCC

I'm sure he did some Rover GTi racing as well.


He raced in FF1600 in 1986 and drove in the Honda CRX Challenge in 1989 and 1990.

For some reason I thought the media day was today. Then I soon realised my watch date was a day ahead. lolwhoops.

It has crept up on us. Looking forward to seeing the new cars & hoping the MG livery looks better in reality than in MS Paint.

My two year old son's scribblings look better than that MG mock up. It can't look much worse than it did originally.

Nothing there that we didn't know really.

The Formula Renault UK championship has been cancelled due to small entries.

I'm loving that Proton, it looks great. Now as for the MG well, 888 do have a history of busy and unattractive liveries so this is not a surprise. One thing I noticed on the entry list is no Rob Austin. His car is there but he is not.

I think he may be doing what he did in 2011 - if he can't find someone to drive it, he will.

That's what I thought as well. He was fun to have in the series in 2011 so I hope he can continue on.

Could they have made the MG any fuglier?

Was offered a free media pass to today's BTCC Media Day at Silverstone, had to reject due to work :(

Wait no FRenaults?

Wow, is anything likely to replace it?

Begin petitioning for Legends or Caterhams NOW NOW NOW! :-p

(Though I assume it'll just be the FRenault BARC championship that gets a promotion tbh)

Proton is a really good looking thing.

Not surprised by Frenaults too. Maybe see it back at some point, but they were always going to fail thanks to the costs.
