I don’t think Tom should have too much trouble adapting to RWD either, could be right up his street

Is he the most talented driver on the grid? Absolutely not. But he's a cut above a large chunk of the midfield, and is certainly a very safe pair of hands. A near immaculate finishing record and the few times he doesn't it's usually circumstances outside of his control. |

He's a good lad, I've known him for the best part of two decades. Posh yes, monied yes, but he's both talented and humble. Whatever ride he's in he gets on with the job, does the best he can and doesn't wash dirty laundry or grumble about his team in public. I don't think Tom will lift the championship trophy, but he's certainly capable or race wins here and there and good solid results week in week out. |

I think maybe people’s problems with Chilton in his early days os he seemed to believe his own hype and was maybe seen as a bit cocky. But he seems to have matured since then and his talent has always been there

I will try to make a prediction:
WSR Colin Turkington Tom Oliphant Stephen Jelley Dynamics Dan Cammish Gordon Shedden Speedworks Tom Ingram Power Maxed Jason Plato Rookie Ciceley Adam Morgan Tom Chilton Motorbase Rory Butcher Ollie Jackson Rookie BTC Senna Proctor Michael Crees Rookie MB Motorsport Jake Hill Sam Osborne Excelr8/TPC Chris Smiley Bobby Thompson Jack Butel Rookie Laser Tools Ash Sutton Aiden Moffat Carl Boardley Team HARD Jack Goff Glynn Geddie Aron Taylor-Smith Nic Hamilton Unfortunately this means Josh Cook left on the sidelines, and no return for Andy Jordan, Mat Jackson or Sam Tordoff. However, it is still a 29 car grid, with plenty of potential champions and race winners. Hopefully the 30th TBL will go to either Dynamics or Speedworks, with Josh Cook driving (whichever team it is). |

I can see only Dynamics and Speedworks starting R1 with the virtually the same lineup as they finished 2020. Exciting unpredictable times especially with pandemic-related limited testing on the horizon.

Tom Oliphant posting on social media as part of his advent calendar themed posts that he has signed a contract for 2021. I would assume it’s got to be WSR.

He would be a good fit back with Ciceley, he knows the team and and car so would help Adam hit the ground running.

With Team Hard running 4 cars, Laser Tools running 3 and Excelr8 running 4 cars I am getting the feeling this is heading the same way as the 2000 Championship, where there were a few teams running most of the cars and then when they could no longer afford it, the championship collapsed and become a shadow of its former self.
It looks like there will be 20 cars run by just 6 teams (counting Team Hard and Laser Tools as individual teams) with talk of more teams joining forces. You may argue that teams joining together is good as it adds strength to the championship but also that having a lot of cars in one team weakens the championship if that team departs. |

All the signs seem to be it's pretty much certain Jelley will return to WSR
