theres way too much excitement placed on sponsored/supported/team drives.

nearly every man and his dog these days appears to have them

I dont, I would love to be part of a team, I drive all cars the same brand, I promote that brand and Im one of the first to offer parts or let people run my car if they want to try it etc

I race nearly every weekend, and travel around so not a one track wonder

and see many drivers that are lower ability and attitude than me making team drives etc

initially it was a bit... MMMM wonder what I done wrong


BUT

now I love it when I do well and beat supported and team drivers etc, gives that extra bit of satisfaction LOL

I look at it as, I have the 3 cars, I have pretty much every part I need, what would I gain from a deal, maybe a bit cheaper spares, well I broke 1 wishbone in 12 months, yeah ok a discount on tyres would be nice, but often you can chat with a dealer and buy 20 pairs at a time and get a deal.
