I've heard a few things. Beejay talked to Jnr at the mountain and he said something along the lines of 'new go-fast bits and a big money deal next year'
Also heard that Shell are coming back. That would be nice. Make all my Shell Helix Racing hear wearable again.
Unfortunately thats what we have been hearing for the last few years, at least since the BA made it's debut...
The Revamped team then had a deal with more money, the westpoint deal (did they actually ever rcieve funds from westpoint?) was again with more money for more development, and the self funding thing again told us they would have more money for technical development
I can't help but wonder if some of the high profile guys who have left over the past few years has been because they just couldn't afford to pay them enough to hang onto them.
I hope something comes through for them, they've shown flashes of brilliance at times in the last few years, and as far as I can tell it's only a lack of solid funding that has stopped those flashes turning into continued strong results. It's actually a bit worrying that they can put Steve in the top 10 in the championship on what seems to be a underfunded team, but they can't attract the backing they need to convert the promise they show.
I also hope dick has a buyback option on the cars he sold to the bowdens, he let them go for a comparitive steal IMO. At least we know they'll be looked after just as well if not better now anyway.
