Bottom post of the previous page:

I hated it at first, but the livery is growing on me. I think I will be cheering on WSR this year, I fully expect them to be challenging for the championship.

I also hope they fix the spelling mistake on the rear of the car :wink:

I don't want to be a negative nelly but I reckon we'll see a couple of drop outs before the season starts. Namely Chris Stockton and Andy Neate. I'm not saying they won't be out for the season, just not prepared for the start.

Stockton and Scott are the only two I have itchy feet about.

Where did Warren Scott come from? I'm pretty sure I've not seen him listed or discussed before. Or is that the ex-Lotus Elise driver I asked about some time back?

To be honest, I'm nervous about some of Gilham's squad.

Warren Scott is the ex-Lotus driver yeh, who confirmed he'd bought an Ex-STR Leon. He actually confirmed his entry back in November.

Going by the pics on Twitter and Facebook (which were taken a week ago), all 4 Hard cars will be there.

The RAR Audi's will look a tad different this year as they have a new front end. They actually look pretty good.

Perhaps, but both should at Donny onwards. 26-28 cars is looking like the grid for Brands. I'll take that.
