Colin has a few different sponsors on his car from those on Anthony's and Warren's.

I don't know exactly why but I would guess he has brought at least some sponsors of his own.

As for being an outcast - I don't think that is even remotely true, I am sure MG treat all three the same and Colin is very much part of the team.

I think Hot Wheels could only sponsor 2 cars. Budget wouldn't stretch to 3. So Turkington Holdings and Rioja Developments (who sponsored his TAK car) funded him.

i noticed that turkington wasn't mg sport and racing ltd. don't no why though. perhaps he has a similar deal to paul o'neill. i read somewhere that mel c was fuding the majority of his drive even though it is classed as a works drive. maybe it is something similar at MG?
