Robertshaw need a Hankey

Remember that "young driver" Robertshaw claimed was showing "serious interest" in the second Chevy? Well it's young Euan Hankey who's been out testing the team's Lacetti and looks set to race at Knockhill and the final two race meetings of the season.

Hankey acquitted himself well in Formula BMW and performed reasonably in his limited EuroF3 outings, so this could well be the next Stephen Jelley folks. If you can stand it, here's his Bebo page.

Allison back at Snetterton.... kinda

Previous reports indicated Matt would be back at Robertshaw for his home race. However, it appears he's switching to Clios for the remainder of the season instead. Meanwhile the team claims there's "serious interest" in the vacant drive, and hope to put a young driver in for three of the last four meetings (presumably not Knockhill then).

Allison gone

The quickest BTCC driver in a reasonably priced car has pulled out citing "sponsor issues". Crash says Robertshaw are seeking out a partner for Harry at Thruxton - may I suggest Gareth Howell, who won't be racing for BTC now Stockton has rediscovered the joy of a car that doesn't break down after three laps?

Robertshaw closing in on "big name" driver?

Maybe.

“There is a possibility of quite a big name joining us, but it’s a long way from finalised at the moment."

So says Gary Robertshaw. Mind you, that article also says they'll be running two "Lancettis" [sic]. And take note, forum rumour-mongers and Wikipedia editors - no mention of plans for another Honda.

Robertshaw Racing's Chevrolets

Bought one Lacetti from Denmark, with an option on the second... roughly translated from http://www.dtc-net.dk/

The two Chevrolet Lacettier, Chevrolet Motorsport Denmark inserted in the 2007-version of Danish Touringcar Championship, are still in the workshop in Grindløse in the north western Funen.

In the windscreen of one it stand Sold, while it still is a To sales sign in the other.

"When we bought Chevrolet's 2007-cars we did it straight ahead almost on the British team Robertshaw Racing.
