Howell return delayed

[Alfa Fan]

Autosport reports that Chris Stockton will be racing alongside Stuart Oliver for BTC Racing at the next round of the series at Thruxton. The team had previously announced Gareth Howell would race alongside Stuart Oliver, but after Stockton's successful SEAT debut at Donington he has elected to cancel the business commitments which were due to sideline him at the next round.

Gareth will race alongside Chris Stockton at Thruxton as a substitute driver standing in for Stuart Oliver.

Gareth will race as car number 44. The team is looking forward to having Gareth racing in the car to help develop the teams understanding of the Seat's that Gareth raced last year with Motorbase.

Does that mean he carries new entry ballast then, if he's a different car number?

When James Thompson and Darren Turner were swapping the second SEAT car in 2006, I don't think there was any new entry ballast.
