Well, he did his best to. He pulled out a box of matches shortly after, but nobody saw.

Pyper would have given him a good run for his money if he hadn't been forced to withdraw halfway through the season.

James Kaye took title "The Children of the Corn" too literally.

Absolutely. Pyper with a proper budget that year would have won the Indy title. Can't wait to see how he gets on in Clios this season.

Yup. Must be his first proper season of racing since 2004?

Just a couple of facts to save you all speculating.
The Alfa's are not in Italy they are at A-Tech's workshop
1 car is complete,the other is just a shell and needs putting together, a few parts are needed from Italy to complete the rebuild
It is still the teams intention to compete at Brands if at all possible
Oh 1 more thing what you have seen is not the final colour scheme but it will remain predominatly green.

Perhaps if only one car is ready for Brands, perhaps that one car can compete so that the team can get a taster of the rest of the year to come.

First time he's started a season since the 2003 BTCC. Since then he's done the Carrera Cup guest car at Oulton Park in that year, then a one off for GA at Donington in 2004.

The guy's a really talented driver, I hope this gives him the springboard to get back into the BTCC.

If that one car is complete then they will hopefully at least get that car out and racing for Brands Hatch. Of course I hope they end up getting both cars racing at Brands.

Just to confirm what was know already really, but Dave Pinkney won't be in the BTCC as he's signed up to do British GT with Tech 9 in a Lamborghini - running in the same team as Tom Ferrier.

Interestingly, it'll mean him racing against A-Tech.....
