That's going to be one in-demand seat. You would hope that it goes to someone based on talent rather than backing, I guess we'll wait and see...

Well I guess there was always the possibility something like this could happen. I wish him all the best. Be interesting to see who gets the second seat. Huff sounds good, whoever it is will have a tough job to follow. The thing is I guess everyone thought Matt would go before Flash

Personally I hope they pick up someone young, talented but unproven and develop them to take the team lead role from Neal - who's going to have to carry the team for the first couple of rounds at least while the new driver finds their feet.
Speculation aside, one would imagine they've been working on this for a while so I wouldn't be at all surprised to find it's all signed and sealed already. They'll milk it for publicity though! |

Big loss for the BTCC, Shedden is a class act in touring cars. On pure skills basis, I would replace him with Tom Ingram. James Thompson would be fascinating but I have the feeling that James Nash could drive for the team this season.
Nash wanted to return in BTCC this year... |

How good would it be to see Cammish get the Dynamics drive... either that or Jenson Button!

it will be a young hard charger that will go to dynamics, not someone that is taking a step back after international racing. my money is on tingram even though he has potentially signed a deal at speedworks

A man tells me Dynamics have done their deal with whoever. However, the same man was 100% sure both the old Civics had left Dynamics and was only half right... |

I hope I'm wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's someone to back up Neal, rather than an out and out number 1. |

Wonder if they are still linked with Jack Clarke? Wasn't he their development driver or something along those lines a few seasons back? Haven't heard anything about him since then...?

While we're speculating wildly... Shedden's brother-in-law?

I'll put a chocolate £1 coin on Henry Neal getting the job, I can afford to lose it!

Nice to see some change at Dynamics, I felt the line up had gotten a little stale and I do like to see new faces every now and again. Shedden is a class act though and is a top driver he also posseses fantastic racing/political skills too and is up there with Plato for those.
