    I think you will find they are in exactly the same position as WSR with their BMW’s!

    Both have brand new built cars, with full works technical back up available to them if they want it!

    These will not be the only teams racing this year with this sort of back up, so it’s not unusual!

    The Alfa's will arrive totally prepared by N-Technology, ready to race.

    Certainly good news having two brand new Alfa Romeos in the series. I'm sure Dave Pinkney will do a good job considering he was fairly competitive in his Honda last year. I'm not so sure about Richard Marsh. He has only driven rather poor cars so it is hard to judge his true pace, I guess we'll see how good he is this year.
    I would love Pinkney's car to be all pink but I suspect that would be just wishful thinking.

    Richard Marsh has probably had a lot to do with the funding to buy these cars in the first place, so I think he should be entitled to drive it, just as Dave Pinkney is.
    You lot still here?!

    Didn't Matt buy his car straight from RBM? not BMW? So any support would be a separate deal?

    Rick Kerry is getting technical assistance from Germany!

    Motorbase have received and are still getting technical help form SEAT GB.

    Arkas Racing are getting assistance from 888.

    I would have thought it was in the interest of each manufacturer to assist race teams in some way, as they are promoting their product!

    I think works assistance means ,we supply the parts and engineers if you wish,you pay the bill.
    Good to see the Alfas sadly Halfords and RAC would not accept RED cars so the deal that was offered could not be taken up.
