So what are andy Jordan's choices??? Is he nailed on for BTCC Next year like someone has already mentioned am pretty sure he is contracted for one more year in BTCC with pirtek, think he could be possible running a part season in WRX?? He did a good job last year at lyden Hill, also fingers crossed that Plato finds something else to do rather then finding something else to moan about the BTCC

AJ ey?

How about this for size....Smith & Depper at the Jordan team, Pirtek Red Bull and AJ at MG. Wouldn't be the first time he's been at 888 whilst Eurotech also races.

Several drivers drove that same 3rd RX car for that same RX team last season, so he has as much chance as any of those (inc Goransson from STCC) to be in WorldRX next year.

- Aidan Moffat
- Chris Stockdon
- Aron Smith
- Andy Wilmot
- Simon Belcher
- Sam Tordoff
- Paul Knupp

and the semi announced Josh Cook

now out of this drivers only 4 are really front running material so far, Austin, Morgan , Tordoff and Aron Smith

for a premier touring car championship this is a bit worrying now hope the other half of the grid is of a more competitive pedigree

Definitely won't see one of those listed above on the grid next year! 'Change of plans' aka money is running low or sponsors have disappeared! At least the money can be recouped by selling their TBL.

Paul Knapp? Now asking about time attack 2015 on Twitter.

One can hope...

Hope not but I fear you may be right. Would be a damn shame as Chris is a top bloke and a very decent driver who has been unlucky with a lack of funding and various mechanical issues.

Would be a bit strange for it to be BTC, no? Having just gone to the expense of buying the ex-Moffat Chevy. I suppose if a sponsor has pulled out then there is nothing they can do, but I wouldn't have thought they would have made that sort of commitment and investment without cast-iron guarantees from the sponsors.

The implication of the initial post is that we are talking about a driver who is intrinsically linked to their TBL (rather than it being linked to a specific team), so that would suggest its either Stockton, Holland or Belcher

JDMROB · 27 Dec 2014, 16:48 (Ref:3488112)

If it is Stockton I wonder if it's a Wix situation all over again and Power Maxed have left and will be joining another team?

Unfortunately that's Holland then, which would be a big shame as that was a stunning little car.

Where have you seen this?? Hope it isn't true would be a shame to lose any of the existing teams on the grid

No he has said he will be at ASI with the team. Gilham I would say has purchased the Rotek TBL and car.

Craner Curves · 27 Dec 2014, 19:28 (Ref:3488132)

Tony Gilham is driving me crazy with his hashtag frenzy on Twitter. Does anybody actually care?

Gilham isn't the best business man but he is a very quick peddler which unfortunately gets overlooked because of his "in your face" nature.

850Estate · 27 Dec 2014, 21:31 (Ref:3488146)

Looks like the s3 to me. Having deciphered Tony's complex hashtags it looks like a fans favourite, proven winner and driver with silverware who'll be driving it...Dave Newsham fits all of those...

Going through everything I would go along with that. Wow. Is this just possibly a mystery solved collectively on a forum without much arguing. It might just be...

All will be revealed at ASI.

porsche962fan · 27 Dec 2014, 22:20 (Ref:3488151)

it isn't the Audi S3 !!

that thin on the roof is missing on the Holland one

it might not be an NGTC car at all

It's an artists impression definitely. Look at all of the facts and I think we have come to a reasonably acceptable and in forum terms logical conclusion.

jimothy84 · 28 Dec 2014, 06:53 (Ref:3488197)

It's a shame if it is at the expense of the Rotek squad...

Bramzel · 28 Dec 2014, 09:47 (Ref:3488213)

Is it? They were pretty invisible last year, I doubt the show will suffer from their demise.

Craner Curves · 28 Dec 2014, 09:53 (Ref:3488214)

Looks like a BMW roof antenna?

That's what I thought... especially if it is an artist's impression based on a road car picture.
