I don't think that's the case. I can't remember what I'm allowed to say & what I'm not to substantiate this
Just a shame that their website info is so flaky - the News page now announces Adam Jones as second driver and then a couple of paragraphs down lists the second driver as "to be announced soon".
like i say i hope not, would be good to see them, especially with those 2 drivers, if there tail enders it will be down to the cars and not the drivers
Theres always teams who say they will defo enter and have big press coverage but never turn up.. remember Encke Sport in 07 and that Team who were going to run the green alfas last year... forget there name

Hopefully they might sell some t-shirts and stuff in cartridge world stores
What stores?! Their always closing them!
I had an old Epson model printer (C70+) and of course eventually they stoped making the model and the cartridges. But after getting into a mess with the self-refill kits, I realised I could still get cartridges compatible with the C70+ from CW. After two times of buying a replacement cartridge I found the store in Sunderland had closed. I emailed them to tell them about this and they said to me the two nearest me was Durham and Hartlepool. They later got back to me saying the Hartlepool one could do for me a mail order service. But as I was about to go on a day trip to Durham I decided to go to them...but THEY had closed! That was the time I realised it is best to renew your printer every time you realise you can no longer get the cartridges for it. I now have the R285.
Their was a lot of mocking of CVR for the likelyness of them making the grid but it is the sponsor we should be worried about.

oh yurp
Take a look at the latest story on Touring Car Times (sorry I'm not yet allowed to post the url); let's hope that Cartridge World Carbon Zero Racing SEAT (such a snappy name!) live up to expectations.

Just a word on Cartridge World, who are based in my hometown, they are a franchise operation started in Australia, whom I have no connection with (apart from getting some good body language off one of their female directors a few years back which I should have pursued!)
What this means is that aspiring entrpreneurs buy into the business name, supply premises, trade in their own right and if they fail they close, whilst annoying this cannot be laid solely at the "Cartridge World" umbrella company who would offer existing clients a service (i.e. mail order).
This means that if they (the franchisor) have 100 "branches" these are really anything up to 100 independant businesses under the "Cartridge World" umbrella (which won several awards as a start up only a few years back).
So my point is that if the Franchisor (the top end of the business) is the sponsor this is good as they are quite large now.
If it is "just" a franchisee (a single shop or two) then not so good as they could fold.
That's it

I got some images at lunchtime today... I guess they got stuck.
I'll do something with it later on today!
At least we know where we stand in the pecking order.... but I bet I know who's site gets more hits / visits (answers on the back of a stamp..)
It looks so good I think I am going to climax!!
I have waited so very long for this moment...the moment where I finally see a pic of them with the "real thing"; a racing-version of their cars and not a tarted up roadcar like they I think had at the press launch. Have you guys any idea how long I have waited? Especially given the people who unfairly seemed to single them out to never gave them a single hope in hell.
I just have to pray now the pace is as good as it looks. They first 4 meetings ought to start to give us an idea of how well it can do as a car against the opposition. And if they are, in that time, for me anyway, consistently challenging the lead pack then that is surely encouraging.

Lets just hope it was an oversight, due to the excitement of them actually having a car.
On another note, I see by the livery, Mr Jones has bought some of his sponsorship with him. (Air Cool (ace) and Bodywork Solihull), wonder if the second car is gonna be his old car from last year. GR Asia I believe have been prepping the car(s)
