For all you people that thought Rick Kerry and his BMW 1 series was a joke.

You will be pleased to hear that he has put it up for sale...

Shame because I liked the car. Again not enough money to race the car let along develop it.

Hope to see Rick and Nick back again in another car.

Is this the car Nick Leason has been driving this season? Or have they got 2?

If it really did have 288bhp or whatever the advert says it has it would have been right up there.... not ~10s a lap down like I have seen.

Better sold up, than making up the numbers IMO

It's not 10 seconds a lap down and if it does 288bhp then it clearly suggests that the car's problem lie in other areas as power does not equate to speed.

In a straight line the car does look quick. Im guessing a heavy diesel engine is the problem.

Gutted to read this news as I was a big fan of the project from the word go and always took a big interest in their progress :( :(

I cant find the story but on crash.net a while ago they said they needed more money to solve traction issues, which does add up as Nick has had a few spins exiting corners this year.

Depends if the car has been rebuilt or not.

Can anyone confirm which Toledo Maxtreme have put up for sale? As far as I was aware the team were all set to make their series return after the break at Snetterton.

They have their spare car for sale.

And they will return!

Hopefully Liam and the team can get a bit more luck in the second half of the season and score a point or two.

Technically it is the white car that Oliver ran until Donington last year.

Stockton's blue car has been scrapped. That was written off at Thruxton.
Liams new race car has been built up with the spare shell that he had.
