Bit unfair! Brett acquitted himself brilliantly with limited testing. As Mini Challenge champion he is very well prepared. The JCW Minis are the closest thing to a BTCC car outside of NGTC.

If it is the current RS (which is pretty much guaranteed) then this is a marketing exercise as per Dynamics running the Type R. I therefore suspect some budget from Mountune or Ford UK or Ford Dealers. Maybe Ford Money on the windshield strip..

Just listened in to Shaun Hollamby on BBC Essex. Says he is hoping for Sam Smelt to be in the points a few times in the second half of the year. Gonna be a tough one, but good luck to him!

And no mention of MGs, inevitably!

Philip Schofield and Noel Edmonds in a pair of Reliant Kittens.

Jason Plato confirmed as long lost half brother of Matt Neal.

Better than most of my predictions...

Also Paul O'Neill:

‏Lots of @DunlopBTCC announcements already but there will be some fookin’ scorchers to come this week

I'd put money on a Rob Huff/PMR confirmation...

I think you'll find that what Matt considers will be a surprise for most of his followers, will not come as a shock to anyone on this thread.

It's almost the perfect correlation -

Win races with 2nd-hand Hondas on Sunday, sell 2nd-hand Hondas on Monday!

I can't make the insert for the LEDs in the nose out... she ain't KITT!

Looks VW CC or Jag XE shaped under that cloth... probably Tingrams Toyota!

Platos ride is the 155 on the right, surely everyone knows that by now or have I jumped the embargo? 😁
