West Surrey/Dick Bennetts return in 2006?

Most of us noticed the fairly significant presence of Dick Bennetts in the NZ A1 garage at Brands, whom is running the entry, if i'm not mistaken.

Therefore, rumours have started flying around that this heralds a full time return to single seater race car prep for the former multiple title winning British F3 entrant..

If this is the case what category do we expect Dick/WSR (or new team name) to enter next year? This is, if i'm assuming correctly he'll no longer be involved full time in the BTCC?

I'd like to see him entering a WS Renault 3.5 or GP2 outfit, rather than a return to F3, others may know/think differently..

Surely an interesting topic for thoughts and speculation!!

Dick Bennetts told Autosport they are considering options in World Series by Renault and GP2, but he said F3 was the most likely option - whether they race in Britain or Europe would depend on engine choice. Would be great to see WSR back in British F3.

Serves me right for not buying the comics anymore, otherwise i'd have already read about this! But I had only guesssed at the options open nice to know my ideas are on the right tracks.

F3 would be logical home but reason i say it might be better to do something else is because it would be a fresh start of sorts in single seaters and whilst WSR knows F3 from old, the two more powerful series might allow him better options on attracting budgets and drivers

The GP2 link is an interesting one because if memoery is correct he was the first team to run a Renault engine in F3, i think with De La Rosa, although i might be getting confused with the Racing For Spain banner that he ran cars under for a couple of years in early 90's.

But i suppose the Team WSR, WSR entry has obvious ring to it!
