Thanks for explaining it to me as I was struggling to find the answer why he was dropped and now I can't understand this decision.

I agree Rob has been at his best the last few seasons. If only he could get quali sorted. That's why he's never quite been in proper contention for the title

On another note, it would be interesting to see Sutton in RX, potentially against Jordan too if they both manage to get one-off drives: https://www.motorsport.com/world-rx/...st-974820/?s=1 |

Just shows that he’s a real charger if he can make that progress As for Ash doing a bit of Rallyx, doesn’t his boss Warren Scott now do a bit? |

It's not like these cars are physically demanding to drive. There's a lot to be said for the racecraft and experience of the older hands plus they all have decent fan bases.

Davenport back behind the wheel, great to see. Expected to make a full recovery by February 2018 and aiming for a Shredded Wheat DUO seat. https://www.motorsport.com/btcc/news...-crash-975401/

Depper not up to snuff last season, interesting to see he was testing the Motorbase VW, could be a good series for him.

Glad Davenport is up and driving again, considering where he was, it’s great to see. Hopefully he’ll be racing soon too

Been thinking about Speedworks & the fact they might move away from the Toyota. They either have a potentially good offer of a car(s) or know they’ve got everything out the Avensis. Otherwise why would you move away from one of the fastest FWD cars?
Either RWD on the cards or a car that’s still got potential to be developed. Can’t see them choosing a new car as they’d be behind the 8 ball in getting ready for the season. HMS already well on with the Alfa build. Have they a chance of a Subaru given the rumours of BMR downsizing? Or having run a Honda for Simpson have they seen a better platform in the Civic? |

Rory Butcher is still working with Motorbase through the off season - promising signs that he'll be with the team in 2018. https://www.touringcars.net/2017/11/...ng-opportunity

I hope he comes back, he's shown he deserves a shot at a full season with his performances so far

I've forgotten who this driver is, maybe someone from GTs? https://www.motorsport-news.co.uk/ne...car-with-test/

Lots of testing happening it seems, who is in the Astra?

However I actually thought Tingram in the Toyota looked more convincing than Flash & Matt in the Honda on balance... and I cannot see the next gen Honda anywhere outside of Dynamics for next year. Scooby might be the thought... Incidentally the future BTCC Toyota hints (from Toyota PR) most likely related to an all new Auris (that's the Focus/ Astra sized one) for 2019/20. |

Sutton has been given a new car by Subaru. None too shabby.

Interesting seeing Tordoff testing the AMD Audi, especially as he has said he's not yet decided what he will do in 2018 and Hollamby hinting he could drive for them. Would be interesting to see him in that car, could see it further up the front
