From reading a recent post. It seems that Motorbase was not a choice for him?

No way of telling... Is there?

The biggest problems for a lot of teams is.. hit the nail on the head there!

Because there are far better prospects than Collard sitting on the sidelines!

Well judging by previous years, Collard has got involved in far too many expensive accidents.

Not to the same extent. Usually the accidents there involved in are fighting it out for the win or podium positions. Not usually involved in as many silly accidents as Collard.

I give up!

Your dislike for Collard goes deep... I recommend therapy!

Good luck!

As fer as i'm aware there are only 5 drivers in the btcc that do not pay for their drives.

Also any damage is paid for by the driver,so it is only expensive for said driver.


Unless you refuse to pay like 1 driver i could name.

Yes he got involved in 'silly' accidents before, but that was due to where he was running in the pack. Just look at some of the 'mid-field' drivers from last year got up to.. even some front runners!

I would like to see what he could do in a competitive car given the chance.

Assuming he has got a drive for this year!

Well said Peter, thank you.

Rob has his critics but so do most drivers. His biggest critic is himself and he is very determined to get back into the BTCC and show his true potential in a competitive car.

I hope he gets this drive and his luck turns.

Chris

Hear Hear good call gents and good luck Rob,

Peter you are LEGEND!!!!! see you media day..

They didn't get very far into the project before it was canned (presumably because Chilton decided to go with Dynamics).

Just read in this weeks Autosport that Steven Kane and Rob Collard have been testing the Motorbase Perfromance BMW 320s at Brands Hatch this week.........................

Good news for Rob after he missed out on a Chevy drive with Robertshaw Racing and good to see that Steven Kane might just be moving up as I think wel all know he is a very good driver (especially in RWD)...................
