Could be a Team HARD place then for Turk's, as long as we get to see him wipe the floor in 2015. FWD would be good too just to show how good he actually is.

Seems promising as Turk's will be at Autosport International....
I see Andy Priaulx is back too...

Offa the owners club .
Hi Everyone. Lots of things are stirring now as the season is getting closer and wanted to bring you up to date.
Driver Line Up Confirmed!!
Now I am sure you want to know the driver line up for 2015, well I can confirm that it is confirmed! Sorry to tease you (you know I love to) but you will have to wait for the official announcement to know the identity of the drivers!!
Media Day
There definitely will be an Owners Club meeting at the Donington Park Media day, we will get back to you with final details closer to the event. For those that don't know Media Day is on 24th March and entry is free to the public after 12.00pm.
Roof Pictures
We will let you know when we are ready to start collating them, if you haven’t signed up to be on the roof of both cars yet it isn’t too late, head on over to http://rob-austin-racing.myshopify.com/
Other Stuff
As you may have heard Sherman and Panzer will look very different in 2015, and I am not just talking about the colour scheme (although that will look very different too)! Massive work has been going on over the winter at Team HQ and soon we'll be able to see the fruits of all the hard work that the squad have done.
They are going to look, to quote Rob, "wicked"!
As already confirmed we will be holding an Owners Club meeting on the Saturday evening at all rounds this year. They have always been a great success and we have some “surprise” visitors planned but we are also open to ideas, any thoughts on things we could add to the format are welcome.
In the meantime a big thank you to you the fans and our sponsors for their on-going support, we are looking forward to this year with even more anticipation than ever. We are convinced that we have made big steps over the winter and are better prepared and more motivated than ever. Most of all I want to thank the team back at the workshop for their fantastic effort over the winter in performing a total transformation of the cars.

P.S. Sunglasses arriving soon!

Motorbase completes first test with new Ford engine
Motorbase Performance has completed a first test with the new Ford EcoBoost engine ahead of the 2015 British Touring Car Championship season.
The new engine is based on the standard Ford 2-litre EcoBoost unit that has been developed to NGTC specifications with the Kent team’s long-term engine partners Mountune, replacing the previous Duratec based engine.
The team tested at Brands Hatch last week with an unnamed driver behind the wheel of the NGTC specification Ford Focus ST.
The only confirmed driver so far for the team is Alex Martin, who will drive one of its three cars under the Dextra Racing banner.
