They need a "driver" in there to develop the car but with budgets as tight as they are at TMS it isn't easy. Testing starts at £2,000 before you pay for track time, tyres, fuel, staff, parts etc due to the deal with Swindon.

Given how mobile the rear end of JT's car has been so far, I'm guessing he's rather relieved to not be at Thruxton today.

"The team will continue to use the TOCA control engine but will develop its own in house ECU mapping for the unit", so with all their VX remapping experience they should be great! :D
