POWELL IN A HARD PLACE

Reigning British Endurance Series champion Will Powell will contest the remainder of the British Touring Car Championship in a Team Hard Cupra. The 37-year-old, who tested with Hard last summer, replaces Jack Goff, who split with the squad on the eve of the season opener. Powell won the BES in a Mclaren 650S GT3, gave the Brabham BT62 its competition debut, and has also raced in TCR machinery.
