The current generation cars are all a quantum step forward in overall stiffness. Never possible with bonding and riveting , plus it would have to be bolted aswell to be legal It would be great to see a Jag out there but didn't another team look at it before and binned it just because of the stiffness / weight issue ?

FIA Art.253.8 states that only bonding is permitted 'For non steel bodyshells/chassis, any weld between the cage and the bodyshell/chassis is prohibited, only the bonding of the reinforcement plate on the bodyshell/chassis is permitted.' Which regulation mandates a bolted ROPS? |

I don't know where or if bolting is mandated, but as far as I am aware, bolting is permitted as a form of belt and braces, no pun intended, as well as welding or bonding. Also permitted is the fitting of reinforcing plates beneath the body and/or the other side of the cockpit. |

The Jack Goff thing was the clearest indicator of this. He'd lost his better seat elsewhere and was widely publicised claiming that he was resigned to not having a seat, then he got in at Team HARD last minute. |

Team HARD may just make up the numbers, but they've done well to still be in the series. And Goff has repaid Team HARD giving him a lifeline. Remember his win at Silverstone two years ago? Anyway it's also good ATS is back in the series, let's hope he can find some results

Actually, up to some point this season, Goff was doing really well in the Cupra, consistently in points and around Top 10. Don't really know what happened that he's now back to typical Team HARD 15th-20th (or lower).

Any correlation between the differing results in the 7-car wider HARD. camp? |

Announcing a multi-year deal usually means you'll be in the sidelines shortly in the BTCC.

Sutton (Dec 20): 'It's great to have the addition of Carl Boardley and Team Hard with us for the upcoming season. ' Moffat Sr (Dec 20): 'Having worked commercially with both BMR and Tony Gilham at Team Hard for a number of years, and with our team's amazing success in 2020, I feel that now is the time to elevate Laser Tools Racing to another level. Both teams will utilise some of each other’s resources to assist each other on and off track.' |
