As things stand it looks highly unlikely that Goff will get a drive, which is a shame as he's a proven race winner.
Nic Hamilton at Motorbase is a done deal, been signed for a while, just not announced yet. Obviously, it won't be a Shredded Wheat-Sponsored car.
Mat Jackson will be alongside Smiley at BTC Norlin.
Almost every team would love Plato to be driving for them. The publicity and PR he brings would be immense. He's the biggest name and biggest draw in the BTCC by a country mile. As someone has already alluded to, which other driver would bring a vast amount of publicity for struggling towards the back of the grid? Get him back up the sharp end and the sky is the limit. That said, he's a shrewd operator and will only be on the grid this season if the right deal is there. By far the most likely destination would be at Power Maxed Racing, but we'll see. It would be a crying shame not to see him on the grid, but it's 50/50 st the moment.
