si_c1978 cos i could crap in my tank and run better! mine has to run on top spec fuel otherwise my lil japanese engine gets damaged.
rushy I think many believe its to do with pulling out of a sponsorship deal in btcc but there blaming it on missfireing at high rpm?? There may be some more info on vxronline, not had a look myself though. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Matt Haha, I'd not be surprised if they now blame it for the piston 4 melting on the Corsa when they were remapping them.

Matt So after 12 pages, all it really says it a single quote from TMS A couple of comments. The contract we have with Tesco specifically prevents me saying anything at all, as a result the statement we have given is all we are allowed to say. Its taken thousands in legal fees thus scuppering our BTCC budget to even say what we can say. No, I no longer shop at Tesco No, we no longer use Tesco fuel in any of our road or race cars and we recommend our customer do not use the fuel either. I cannot get into any conversation about it or get dragged into a forum discussion about it or even hint at anything, I am sorry. However, think of this, making such an announcement can only make TMS look bad in terms of PR, and yet we still did it, read into that what you will.
rushy 12 pages lol, thanks for the round up. Looks like one of those things that we'll never find the true published truth about. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Matt From what I could gather from other posts in the thread, Momentum have moved their sponsorship away from TMS as well, so that may also have a lot to do with it.
