It was Gutierrez. Not Guerrieri.

Thinking out loud, Huff was lined up for WTCR & was rumoured to be potentially at WRT, however he also said BTCC was his main aim for 2018. What’s the possibility that Flash has gone where Huff was heading, therefore freeing a top BTCC seat for Huff?

This was how I had pictured it all.

My money would also be on Huff for the seat. In my opinion there are no ‘plug and play’ options currently without a contract for 2018 within the BTCC up to the quality Dynamics would like, and he would appear to be the most interested outside party who could be expected to come in and be on the pace right away.

My only question would be where the money for his salary would come from? Since Shedden had his Knockhill day job I would assume it would be a safe assumption he wasn’t paid by them to race, at least not a significant amount.

Ingram Back in the Avensis for Speedworks is a sure contender for the overall Championship

Huff is probably going to stick with Munnich Motorsport, I think. They can probably offer him more money than Dynamics can, and he's been in that team twice before.
I really think, and hope, that Tordoff will be in the second Dynamics Honds. A fantastic replacement for Shedden.

Good to see Ingram back in the Avensis for another year. Last year, he was good fun to watch. Is Speedworks definetively going for 1 car only?

Expect to see Pryce back I reckon, unsure on whether it would be a Subaru

Complete and utter curveball stab in the dark, Moffat for TD with the Laser/Halfords link and a race winning driver?

It would be a big blow if Mat was out of a drive.

Although, if Dynamics are looking for a 'plug in and play' replacement for Shedden...

Bit hard to drive for Dynamics when you have a contract with Motorbase...

Contracts can be broken - or terminated by mutual agreement.

So realistic options:
Sam Tordoff - definitly available and wants a ride,
Aiden Moffat or Adam Morgan - will either of them get up to speed quick enough and settle within the Neal family environment vs their own.

Longshot Options:
Tom Onslow Cole - probably not really interested,
Mat Jackson - probably under contract,
Dave Newsham - doing a Massa on his retirement for a season using experience to develop the car, but probably not quite the right caliber.

Others such as James Nash or James Thompson to my knowledge have little or no NGTC experience to be considered plug and play replacements.

Huff is looking most likely but ....the Plato option is looking more and more interesting.

I can't see JP at Dynamics, be a lot of simmering history for MN, SN and JP to swallow before that would be workable. IMO. Tordoff most likely I would think.
