People have done the math using a 2 min, 30 sec lap time. 21 hours. Without yellows.
Really like the idea! Heard they were aiming for around 40 cars. Given the amount of championships in Europe alone, I think they'll be in the ball park for that.

An answer to your question? Second Honda for Wall Racing.
As well as acquiring a second Civic for TCR Aus. Wall Racing has struck a deal with J.A.S Motorsport to become the Australian agent for Honda TCR's.

Jack Goff doesn't have a drive in the BTCC. For some unknown reason.

Exactly 👍, but probably more up to Rod Nash. It wouldn't hurt for Tickford to get their foot in the door earlier rather than later in case Supercars goes belly up, and having a top tier driver/team like Mostert/Tickford would add a hell of a lot of interest to the category and probably other top team/driver combos as well. Gary Rogers has got the right idea imo 👍.

Sucks that Goff will be without a drive this year, he's a really solid guy with the talent to back it up, really quick. I'm led to believe sponsorship/money may be the reason for his departure, though I could well be wrong, so don't quote me on that.
In other BTCC news though, I had a hunch on this one after the rumours of him wanting to depart from BMR, but Plato is back in a Vauxhall, once again an Astra, having switched to PMR for this year. http://www.btcc.net/2019/02/20/jason-plato-joins-power-maxed-racing/
In theory Plato should thrive once more, given his performances in a FWD touring car, as it generally seems to suit him better, but we'll have to see, mind the PMR Astra is a quick car/squad.
Perhaps coinicedently, Proctor moves from PMR to BMR, well back to BMR having being part of their academy when he started out in Ginetta Juniors. Will be intriguing to see how well Proctor gets on with the Subaru Levorg. http://www.btcc.net/2019/02/19/bmr-signs-proctor-retains-subaru-and-adrian-flux-backing/.
