It appears that MSVR have tendered to run the BTCC for 5 years from 2017 when the current contract is up at the end of next year. At present TOCA are rights holder backed by the BARC.
It will be interesting to see how this one pans out. Oh yes it is worth remembering that Alan Gow as well as being the boss of TOCA is also the chairman of the MSA....
