Second RAR Audi

[Darlo]

So Rob Austin has announced that Mark Hazell will not drive the second Audi this season for personal reasons.

Rob is still hoping for a team mate to drive the second car

Who can fill those boots, interesting to Sporty spice's brother has two cars sitting ready to go but not enough funding. Paul Oniel that's him.

Hope the personal reasons sort them selves out what ever they are!

And I just hope that O'neill can get his seat, or infact any seat, he is too good to sit on the sidelines!

Apologies if this has already been mentioned elsewhere, but it was very strange at Brands because for the first practice session the car was liveried up as Mark Hazell's, with sponsors, number and name as well as the transponder when obviously Rob was driving - so it was clearly a very short notice thing.

Glad Rob has got himself out in the Audi though as he is superb to watch at the wheel!

Wonder how close to reality the Turkington deal ever was?

Not sure what you were watching? These were taking during the first practice session.

Although you were right about the transponder. For a while Hazell's name was on the timing screens.

Must have been in the Friday shakedown then... Unless I'm going absolutely crackers the MDW branded Audi was on track at some point during the weekend!! I remember though now on Saturday morning it was the Austin liveried car that was showing #31 on the timing screen
