only been "satisfactory" and so postponed their start to the season until Round 2 at Rockingham to allow further time for testing and preparation. However, despite both cars being ready, only Arthur was able to compete as Martin became stranded in the US due to the travel disruption caused by the volcanic ash cloud over Europe. Arthur had a successful weekend at Rockingham, finishing all three races. However, as the season progressed the team quickly became back markers during the races. Neither driver scored any championship points, and as a result the team also finished on 0 points, one of three teams to finish in such a position (the other two being Central Racing Group and AmD Milltek Racing.com). Martin's record for the series was nine rounds not attended (Thruxton, Rockingham, and Knockhill), three Did Not Starts (all at Donnington), six retirements, a 12th place, a 13th place, four 14th places, three 15th places, a 16th place, and a 20th place. Arthur's record for the series was two rounds not attended (Thruxton and Knockhill), four retirements, one Not Classified, two 13th places, two 14th places, three 15th places, four 16th places, four 17th places, one 18th place, one 19th place, and two 20th places. Return to the MINI Challenge After a disappointing season in the BTCC, and having made comments that they would be competing in the 2011 BTCC season, Forster reappeared in the MINI Challenge. Both drivers are competing in the JCW Class, Martin in car number 30 and Arthur in car number 3. By the end of round 9 of the series the team had suffered a number of Did Not Start (DNS) and Did Not Finish (DNF) results for both drivers. This meant that approaching the half way mark in the season Martin was sat in 11th position on 60 points and Arthur in 20th position with 33 points. However, neither driver had appeared at rounds 8 or 9.
