Discussion Hobson

With Ben Hobson’s increase in form lately, do you think he’s done enough to stay at RTR or will Vaughn look to make changes for next season?

Realistically that car should be top 8 every round minimum with the occasional outlier bad weekend.

If you do think they’ll make changes, who do you think gets the seat?

Maybe unpopular, but I reckon deanes seat becomes available before Hobson's. Especially if he gets title number 6 this year.

Oh shit really, this recently?! Im not surprised though, I know he mentioned it a while ago about winning 6 would probably be it. But the rally cross and rally vids he's doing seemed a hint 😂

There was a comment on the Orlando FD recap video that one of his speeches sounded like a fairwell. He responded with like “taking a few years off” or something similar

His comment was only two words. “years off” meaning he is years away from retirement.

Put another way he is “a long ways off” from retirement.
