BTCC 2018 Annual Predictions Thread

[850Estate]

The natural successor to this and not to be confused with Pimmy's excellent Championship.

Here are mine from last year:

1) Team HARD will win a race
2) We'll only have two new race winners
3) At least one manufacturer team will change at least one driver during the season
4) The Team HARD CCs will be referred to as 'Passat CCs' by at least one driver/commentator/interviewee at each round
5) Dave Newsham will find himself on the podium at Knockhill

So here are this year's

2018

1) Norlin will surprise everyone with either a lot of pace, or a serious lack of it after such a good debut campaign.
2) There will be at least three permanent changes of driver this season, one of which will involve Team Hard.
3) The phrases 'best season ever' 'quality has never been higher' and 'pinnacle of UK motorsport' will all be said during the ITV coverage of the first and last rounds.
4) Dan Cammish will be in with a mathematical chance of the title at the final round, and will outscore Matt Neal come the end of the season.
5) The Subarus will win a total of one race win - and Sutton will be the man who will score it.
