There certainly was an intention to run 3 cars. Why else have a rant about other teams blocking it? |

If Cammish does well and BTC can't find the funding to run the car after the first round, could BTC sell the TBL to Dynamics and Cammish ends up back to TD.

'Teams may sell, gift, lease, assign or loan their TBL to other existing teams or eligible new entries on a season-long basis only, subject to the approval of TOCA as to the integrity of both recipient and transaction.'
So yea, I'd say that TBL's can't be transferred, sold, leased etc during the season. If BTC can't fill the seat they'll lose the licence. They'll be able to have another driver at Snetterton though. |

Crees pulled out for commercial reasons that aren't connected to lack of budget so that raises the question of what is going on at BTC and would the same "issue" put off other drivers? Presumably Cammish is getting this drive for free at the very least given the amount BTC are going to learn and the short notice to get anyone else in there?

Putting aside all things connected to TBLs, financing, budget, etc, there's another main obstacle - Dan has a deal in place to race Porsches this year. I doubt he can withdraw from this. |

Harvey raced in Porsches and commentated on BTCC so logistically may be possible?

Logistically perhaps but there's a big difference between commentating and driving. There's no way Cammish could give his best performance in both cars seeing as how radically different they are to each other.

Exactly. It's tough for drivers to have double programmes (like DTM with Formula E for example) but having a double programme which means racing in two series during one weekend is completely impossible. Cammish would contest 6 races over one weekend, seems rather crazy for me.

I'd sure some drivers would contest 6 races over a weekend if they could!

Dan had a deal in place to race BTCC (with Team Dynamics), and is now in Porsches. What's to stop the reverse happening? |

You can't be hosting your sponsors for BTCC at the same time as driving your Porsche. |

Other way round would be more like 'I've got a deal in place but now I have a better option, I'm leaving.' Often it just doesn't work that way. But of course we can only shoot in the dark as we don't know any details of his Porsche deal and his previous deal with Dynamics. |

True that!
However I'm not sure if we can draw parallels here, I mean, I don't know what he's up to for this year Last edited by Matt K; 6 May 2021 at 15:16. |

Oulton Park and Brands Hatch maybe. Snetterton will have minimal if any. It's not even as simple as the government saying it can go ahead, big events like this with large crowds will have insurance implications.

TOCA has already told teams they can't have catering or guests at Snetterton.

Have there been any technical or BOP "recalculations" that normally are only made public through the lips of Tim Harvey during commentary, but yet seem to be common knowledge amongst some people regarding the cars?

Team Dynamics have 'liked' - https://twitter.com/5jhdesigns/statu...180828160?s=19
which must mean that they are switching to Volvo now that their Honda partnership has finished. |
