Hines signs for Barwell

[Carl Breeze fan]

Luke Hines has finally signed a contract to race a Barwell prepared Honda Civic Type - R in this years production class championship. No announcement is expected for a while on a second driver, but Mark Lemmer may do selected races.

This years champ?

Depends on who the other driver is and on the competition, Edenbridge were up with the Type-Rs last season, also I dont know whats happened to the Alfa's (saw one for sale in Autosport stating it was the only one left) but in the right hands they should be championship contenders too. And theres also the 307s - although the 306s were a bit outclassed last year (maybe they would have been more competitive had HTML continued with their two cars?) I dont think the 307s should be ruled out, especially if they are linked to VLR in some way.
