Plenty of people in the various FB groups still thinking that BMR are bringing new cars in next year 😂 fuelled by the post from the guy who sells everyone's old bumpers, looks like he's bought literally every body panel they had left

Regarding seats already in place it does seem like a lot of the big names are confirmed but I'm interested in where the Laser and HMS TBLs end up. Plus what happens with Simpson if he really is pulling out. Apparently Boardley will definitely be on the grid and definitely with a different team...

dynamics trucks go back to the integra days, pretty sure one of them was owned by rob collard when he ran the astra, some of the tractor units in the paddock are well over 10 years old, alan gow's bus/toca centre is approaching 20... the teams that have been constant for 10 plus years rarely change rigs as they dont do the mileage compared to trucks in commercial use. a truck owned by say stobart will do more miles in 2 weeks than a btcc/race rig does in a year

That's a new way to take money from the punters. Pay for your tickets and get openly abused (as opposed to pleasantly fleeced)! |

Despite the wording on her website, don't be surprised if 2020 is another year in Clios |

The only problem is it would no longer be on the TOCA package, but if that’s all she can afford, there’s not a lot she can do

Wasn’t there talk of a BTCC superlicence to keep the standard up? I guess the ability v’s ability to pay is the issue. ....

Found this line regarding substitute drivers. Presumably it applies to drivers who aren't substitutes as well? - " Substitute drivers must have completed at least 300km of testing in an NGTC car unless they are acknowledged by TOCA as having extensive experience driving a touring car or are a driver of high repute." |

It's future was in doubt when it wasn't included on the TOCA package for 2020, but the UK championship will now be on the GT package.

Previous series was run by Renault UK (who sell the road cars), the new series is run by Renault Sport Racing (French based race car division). New car is a 1.3l turbo |

https://www.barc.net/orders-for-new-clio-cup-uk-race-car-now-being-taken-ahead-of-2020-season/ Do we discount everything from before 1991 with BTCC as being a different championship? |
