Pinkney and Marsh confirmed
well at least Pinkney and Marsh have confirmed this morning, another 2 cars to the grid- its looking really good!! Marsh better up his game this year otherwise it will just be a waste of good car for a rich gentlemen driver
I wonder if we should be expecting a new wacky livery from Pinkney or whether he is going to be sticking with the Alfa red.

To be fair, Richard has never been in a top tourer so we will see how he gets on. But i can't help thinking ur right - with two top cars like that, maybe you'd expect to have a couple of front-running drivers?
Maybe Alfa has supplied them with these cars for an evaluation on a future works/semi-works team? It seems unlikely and I reckon if Alfa did enter properly, they could easily be at the front.

Black with pink rims would actually look nice
I wonder if these are the two cars that Quest have been expecting to recieve then? Their website has said for ages that they hope to be on the grid with 2 n-technology machines.
I'm also feeling that these may be entered for the manufacturers championship. If you listen to the radio news on crash.net it says "and there may also be some independant entries........" - as though these ones aren't.
I also suppose that that would mean these cars would be red, but with Marsh's farcecla sponsorship and the rumours of AA backing for Pinkey, how about Yellow alfas- it has been done before after all:

Nothing to do with Quest Racing. Gary Ayles is no longer involved with them.

That will refer to the fact that, while all Alfa Romeos are independent, any other entries aren't 'sanctioned' by Alfa Romeo - as was the case with Quest and Mark Smith last season.
I could imagine Alfa may well be interested in entering the manufacturers championship. But the whole manufacturer/independent thing is a bit of a grey area, I'll try and explain this as best I can!!
If Alfa did enter, would that mean the drivers couldn't win the indie title? That's a more realistic target than the overall championship so it seems silly to take that opportunity away.
But like the Honda situation in 2004, they can choose which cars to nominate, even independents so would they remain as independents that Alfa could nominate?!
That's about as clear as mud, hope someone understands what i'm getting at!
Gary Ayles is involved - it says on Crash.net
Dave has to have pink on his car, like the porsche pink with painted on bullet holes. He is a character and we need blokes like him
Yay, Pinkney and Marsh confirmed :D .
im sure there will be some pink on it, the JSM alfa 147 he drove had flashes on pink on its bonnet instead of the red the other drivers had
