OK I am officially confused! Just checked out the MST site (like i do pretty much every other sunday) and I noticed that, other than the poor turnout, The Stanton/Hyde pairing were apparently racing a Tuscan R. The Eclipse one was missing from the entry. Is it still being repaired? Was this a mistake? or Were Stanton/Hyde racing it??
SOMEBODY HELP!!!!

Stanton/Hyde are running car 99 (the Eclipse Tuscan car 69) regretfully a funding concern, has lead the Eclipse Tuscan to be hired out to Stanton/Hyde for the remaining races of the year.

It was a shame to see both Ben and Shane wandering around without their race suits, look forward to their quick return next year.

Even sadder news is that the car will lose its dsc orange by Thruxton!

It was at Snet being tested by richard hay - latest gossip is that it will do big events only in 2003 - Daytona, Sebring, LM and possibly a couple of others

Thanks v much for clearing that up guys. So, will it be running a DEWalt/Barclays paint job for the next 2 races?
That`s what I heard about the moggie. Only doing the prestigious races. It was supposed to be at Suzuka but, from what I've heard, it was too expensive. Its a shame that it`s gone. I know it wasn`t that quick, but it added variation to the grid.

Yup, it will be in the De Walt Livery.

The Morgan didn't do Suzuka as a result of start money dematerialising.
